Pretty URLs Help

Post by Tinker1974 »

Hello...

I am new to CMS Made Simple. I tried setting up the pretty urls and I followed each step and now only the home page works. If I click on any other page i get a 404 error.

Can someone help to to figure out what I did wrong or what I am missing?

1. I copied htaccess.txt to the root directory and changed it to .htassess
2. Edited config.php and added the line at the bottom that says $config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';
3. Went to the Simplex core:page template and made sure that {metadata} was there.
4. Went to maintenance...cleared the cache and updated both of the content status.....

What am i missing?

Please help.

Is this what you did for sure? It should be .htaccess not .htassess...
