[SOLVED] Pretty URLs and News module gives 404 error

webform · **Posted:** Sun Nov 11, 2012 1:49 pm

I have a fresh install of CMS Version 1.11.2.1 in a sub directory with mod_rewite enabled.
Every page url is working fine except News url's which gives me an 404 error.

The htaccess file is cmsms default with RewriteBase set to /foldername.

I also have another cmsms installation in the base directory, where all page url's including from News module working just fine.

What am i missing?

Maybe this?
--------------------------------
Troubleshooting - news module - error 404
Error message

Opening a news detail- or categorypage ends up in a error 404 - page doesn't exist.
Solution

When using the detailpage parameter in the news tag, it could be the set detailpage is switched inactive in the listcontent. Or perhaps renamed or removed.

No, it can be it. Everything works fine if i disable mod_rewrite.

It seems it some sort of problem with Pretty URLs and News module when the site is placed in a sub directory (www.domain.com/subdirectory).

I have copy of the site in the root, and here everything is working.

make sure you do not have a physical directory in the install named 'news'.

I'm puzzled! On my test server the Pretty URLs an News module works just fine, but on the live server i get an 404 error when i click on the detail link

I'm missing something here, but what?

What about the apache error log? Does it tell you where the rules direct you to?

Might be a starting point.

At some point there was a new route thing in the News modules so most likely yours didn't take so clicking Update routes fixed it...

hth!

"Update routes" seems to fix the problem - Thank you

I found the problem :
Updating routes (admin) empty "cms_routes" if mod_rewrite is on.
Then, if you clear cache, you got an error 404 for news and pages with alternate URL.
