2.1.5 Pretty URLs not working

simetz · Post by **simetz** » Sun Nov 13, 2016 9:56 pm

Just installed 2.1.5 and not able to implement pretty URLs.

Here is what I have done - I'm on an Apache server (followed documentation):

- renamed and moved stock .htaccess to folder where CMSMS is installed
- Per a previous post I un commented out Options +FollowSymLinks
- confirmed that RewriteEngine on is on
- since I am installed in a subfolder I changed the line to RewriteBase /subfolder
- $config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';
- $config['page_extension'] = '.html';
- Cleared Cache
- Added {metadata} in the <head> of both of the templates that I am using

But, sadly I am not getting the inteded result:
http://www.frankmetz.com/test/index.php?page=paintings instead of http://www.frankmetz.com/test/paintings.html

Thanks in advance for any help

Code: Select all

RewriteBase /test

Thanks!! I should have seen that

If I could request in CMSMS documentation that more standard instructions are used such as RewriteBase /[subfolder name] some of the documentation makes a lot of assumptions that p[people are already very familiar with CMSMS, especially things like exporting themes which I tried a number of times and it always failed.

CMSMS is fantastic though, don't get me wrong

Changed in default htaccess.txt file for CMSMS 2.2
And in the docs website
