[solved] Pretty URL gives 404?
Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 7:46 am
I've followed the instructions in the FAQ (http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/FAQ/Installation/Pretty_URLs) to the letter, apart from the {metadata} bit, and the menu shows me that the links are generated correctly - i.e. http://site.com/parent/child/child.html, where 'parent' and 'child' correspond to the page aliases. However I keep getting 404 errors. Old style links still work, of course.
My configuration is v1.3.1 on Linux. Here's the .htaccess:
and this is the config.php ...
What am I missing? I tried slightly different configurations (eg. RewriteRule ^(.+)\.$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA] in the .htaccess), but no luck... 
My configuration is v1.3.1 on Linux. Here's the .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]
