with mod_rewrite enabled = same content on all pages

[MetaMan]

Hello,

This is first installation of V2 and I run into a problem I haven’t seen before.

I'm running CMS Made Simple 2.1.6. I'm using PHP 5.6.30, and MySQL 5.5.53. This is all working with Apache ---running on linux 2.6.32-642.6.2.el6.x86_64 on x86_64

I have problems when I try to enable pretty urls.
When I add:
$config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';
to my config file ({metadata} is present in template) and clear cache, …. Pretty URLs work... but every page displays the homepage content.

Removing $config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite'; , I'm back to ugly URLs and the correct content displays for all pages.

No additional modules are installed yet.

Any suggestions?

An additional bit of information.

With $config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite'; set in config.

I see the correct page content here.
domain.com/index.php?ml=templates-and-stylesheets

But the incorrect content here (it gets the homepage content)
domain.com/how-cmsms-works/templates-and-stylesheets

Solved

Removing this setup setting fixed the issue
$config['query_var'] = 'ml';

I now have pretty urls and the correct page content loading/

That is correct, because the default .htaccess file assumes query var is "page". So if you want to use another one you need to change it in the .htaccess file too
