[solve] pretty URL, how?

[tern]

i follow: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/User_Handbook/Installation/Optional_Settings
but still dont get it.

i change all the settings in config
& i delete the old .htaccess, then rename the htaccess.txt to .htaccess

the url is working, but the page is:

Not Found

The requested URL /en_US/home.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.boxkator.net Port 80

am i missing something?

pls help me.

check if you server supports mod_rewrite

check if .htaccess is located in cmsms root folder (not docs)

if your cmsms install in on a subfolder, change the RewriteBase directive in htaccess to your cmsms relative path

Thanks. now i got a better & clearer information.

I'm hosting at godaddy, & i have email them, they said yes.
& i have move my .htaccess to cmsms root folder.
yes my cmsms install in a subfolder, i hv change the RewriteBase to:
#Sub-dir e.g: /cmsms
RewriteBase /-boxkator (my folder name it is "-boxkator")

Code: Select all

# Attempt to override some php settings, these settings may be helpful on some hosts if your
# default configuration does not meet CMS's minimum requirements, and your host
# has given your account appropriate permissions
#php_value upload_max_filesize "10M"
#php_value session_save_path "tmp/cache"

#php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
#php_flag register_globals Off
#php_flag session.use_trans_sid Off

# (this is important, so uncomment if your host permit)
#Options -Indexes
#ServerSignature Off
#
Options +FollowSymLinks
#
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
#
#Sub-dir e.g: /cmsms
RewriteBase /-boxkator/

#
# 301 Redirect all requests that don't contain a dot or trailing slash to
# include a trailing slash
# but ignore POST requests.
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !POST$
#RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]

# Rewrites urls in the form of /parent/child/
# but only rewrites if the requested URL is not a file or directory
#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]
</IfModule>

but now i got a new error:

Internal Server Error

Please contact the server administrator, support@supportwebsite.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

make sure the "RewriteBase /" line is modified to the correct directory. if cmsms is in /cms, then the line must say
RewriteBase /cms (or /cms/ I don't remember)

.htaccess must be in the server root directory, and not cmsms directory (if I am wrong, other people can yell at me)

you can also try internal pretty urls if you give up (people can yell at me again).

Amazing!

i replace with this (no path needed):

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/.
# RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

# RewriteRule ^index.php$ / [r=301,l]
# RewriteRule ^page/(.+)$ /index.php?page=$1

place this code & done!
