[Solved] Nice URLs not working with 1.11.7 ?

[palun]

I have a problem getting nice URLs to work with CMSMS 1.11.7.

What's so weird is that I have done this many times before, with older versions, and I am using the same lines of code this time:

In htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]
</IfModule>

In config.php file:

$config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';
$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = true;

But it just doesn't work (pages cannot be found). What am I missing? (Something obvious, I'm sure.) Any ideas, anyone?

I have read it. But I still cannot see what I'm missing.

It's hard for us to tell you what to do if we don't know what you have done already, step by step is best...

The htaccess stuff you pasted here is not what is in the htaccess.TXT or at least not all of it, the config rewrite below is the only one you need, the one below it is for page extension and you should have some kind whether it's .html or .php or .asp or whatever...

$config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';
$config['page_extension'] = '.html';

the only page that works is the index

I think you should start to ask/verify with you hosting provider that mod_rewrite is allowed to be used.

hi ,
have also a webshop with friendly urls running on this server
so this is not the problem for me

[velden]

Can you post a link to the website?

You did not change the 'page' parameter during setup of cmsms? (it would be in the config.php file).

[Trenia]

Here is what I did. It works. I run the 1.11.9 version.

1. Add the two lines in your config.php

$config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';
$config['page_extension'] = '.html';

2. Paste this from the htaccess.txt (root/docs) in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
#Sub-dir e.g: /cmsms
RewriteBase /
# 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]

Also, in the head section of your HTML template, make sure that you have the {metadata} inserted.

[maconl]

Hi trenia,

tnx to point me in a direction ,,,
i had the lines already in my htaccess en config.php
also the {metadata} was already in the template

but when i say your message you pointed me in a direction
the only thing i still have is the category from the news is not a pretty url but the articles are ,,

so perhaps the other solution what Rolf posted will help in this
will try this later today ,,

Velden , no everything in config.php is ok

the problem was the htaccess file ,,
eh < > from the webshop on the same server
when i changed this htaccess it works like a charm except the category
thanks for the great help on this

I believe so. Works for me. No more questions here in a while. What do you think Palun?

I have now marked the thread as 'solved'. I never actually got around to trying any of the suggested solutions (customer lost interest in his business, and his web). I left the thread unsolved out of curiosity (anyone else experiencing the same mysterious problem?). But nice URLs are working fine on my other webs so...

Thanks all!
