Solution:1
From your description, you're attempting to define a RewriteMap in a per-directory context via your .htaccess file, but this isn't allowed. The RewriteMap can only be defined in a per-server context, either in the main server configuration or in a virtual server section.
When you make requests to the server and the .htaccess file is parsed, it encounters the RewriteMap directive and issues an alert, which results in an 500 error being thrown. You'll likely see an entry in your error_log that states "RewriteMap not allowed here".
