hello again! I think that all the weirdest things happen to me. I use a VPS and have several sites hosted there, anyway, one of my sites, a simple html with photos was not working.
As it is the lightest simplest of website I was very confused and checked everything before contacting my host. Finally I had to call them, they checked and told me the problem was in all the changes I made in .htaccess recently.
In apache log I saw the following:
Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
My hosting company asked me to "optimize" my .htaccess . That's sad, I thought I was making changes to optimize my site and now I have to optimize the changes made
Anyway, I leave here the complete htaccess file so you can advise what to change/remove/ or whatever. I trully appreciate your help, never imagine this would affect my other sites.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteRule . index.php?sef_rewrite=1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>Before I forget, my host told me that they tried renaming the file, that is, as if it didn't exist and the website is now down began to work, so the issue is in the htaccess file.
