                RewriteEngine On

                # Handle Authorization Header

Hi @david-prv,

Does this still occur if you update your instance to the latest release version of BookStack?
If so, please can you follow our debugging instructions to gain details for this particular error, then share those details.

An update to v23.05.2 fixed it. Damn, that should have been my first step. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
