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:
change it to
Code: Select all
$config['page_extension'] = '.htm';
You'll probably want to change this too:
to this:
Save the file. Now if you have mod_rewrite enabled, edit the .htaccess file and put this in there, if you don't have mod_rewrite enabled, ignore this part.
Code: Select all
# CMSMS Rewriting
# Set assume mod_rewrite to true in config.php and clear CMSMS cache
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ 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.
