Pretty URL Error on hierarchical URLs

[yewang]

CMSMS v1.1 / Apache 2.0 + mod_rewrite / PHP 4.3.8
I setup the site Pretty URL as directed by the CMS tutorial:

.htaccess File:
---------------------------------------
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

# 301 Redirect all requests that don't contain a dot or trailing slash to
# include a trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
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 [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

---------------------------------------

And the config.php URL settings:
---------------------------------------
$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = true;
$config['page_extension'] = '/';
$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = false;
$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;
$config['query_var'] = 'page';
---------------------------------------

And I create a dummy page called test-page and place it under home. Whenever I access the page in this URL:
http://example.com/home/test-page, it will get me this weird error(5 times) on the top of the test-page:


Warning: Compilation failed: unrecognized character after (? at offset 11 in /data/www/www.example.com/index.php on line 120

Warning: Compilation failed: unrecognized character after (? at offset 11 in /data/www/www.example.com/index.php on line 120

Warning: Compilation failed: unrecognized character after (? at offset 11 in /data/www/www.example.com/index.php on line 120

Warning: Compilation failed: unrecognized character after (? at offset 11 in /data/www/www.example.com/index.php on line 120

Warning: Compilation failed: unrecognized character after (? at offset 11 in /data/www/www.example.com/index.php on line 120


If I access the test page without the hierarchical URL schema, enter it flat out as http://example.com/test-page, it works beautifully but that's not what I want thought, anyone can help me point out what's the culprit here?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello,

try rather this one :
http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... l_Settings
(the provided official .htaccess sample is shorter and more simple)

If you like hierarchical pretty URLs, you should like ".html" postfixes ("page_extension") too.

Thanks Pierre, I followed the new tutorials you pointed out here. And nope, it still shows up with those warning error messages.

Is there a log I can look up to see what exactly was going on during the page URL process?

Try to add log about the rewriting process by inserting this at the beginning of the .htaccess :

Code: Select all

RewriteLog /path/to/the/file.log
RewriteLogLevel 5

You can set the log level from 0 to 9.
