hello friends
i tried all ways there

    * 1 Step 1 - .htaccess file
          o 1.1 No file extension
          o 1.2 .htm page extension
    * 2 Step 2 - config.php changes
    * 3 Step 3 - {metadata} plugin call
    * 4 LightTPD configuration

but i got this error now!

500 Internal Server Error

ugh, looks like those aren't great instructions and DO NOT represent the majority of users environements.

Undo everything you've done.

Do this.  Edit config.php

First do you have mod_rewrite enabled?

If so do this:
find this line:

Code: Select all

$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = false;

Change it to:

Code: Select all

$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = true;

If you don't have mod_rewrite enabled then forget that part and find this line:

Code: Select all

$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = false;

Change to:

Code: Select all

$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true;

Next, find the line that says:

Code: Select all

$config['page_extension'] = '';

change it to

Code: Select all

$config['page_extension'] = '.htm';

You'll probably want to change this too:

Code: Select all

$config['use_hierarchy'] = false;

to this:

Code: Select all

$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;

Save the file.  Now if you have mod_rewrite enabled, edit the .htaccess file and put this in there, if you don't have mod_rewrite enabled, ignore this part.

Code: Select all

# CMSMS Rewriting
# Set assume mod_rewrite to true in config.php and clear CMSMS cache
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]
# END CMSMS

save the file, done

But IMO, it's too messy and confusing for a new user.  You do NOT need to set all of those settings.

i get an error:

Not Found

The requested URL /cms/extensions.htm was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) PHP/5.2.3 Server at localhost Port 80

and if i put .htaccess file in cmsms folder i cant view site and get this error:

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, mercy571@hotmail.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
