pretty urls not working

Hi all,

have a peculiar issue with pretty urls.  I've set $config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true; in the config file yet my site still displays urls as: http://www.site.co.uk/index.php?page=page-title.

I have another site on the same server with the same config and it displays the pretty urls fine.

The first site uses CMS Made Simple 1.4.1 "Spring Garden"
The one with the working pretty URLs uses CMS Made Simple 1.5.3 "Arecibo"

Any ideas?

thanks
Ronan

Actually $config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true; is used for pretty urls in the administration area.
You have to use $config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = true;

No, internal pretty url are: index.php/alias or index.php/hierarchy/alias (with use_hierarchy true)

Recheck config.php and try to clean cache server/browser

I rechecked the config file and $config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true;
I cleared the browser cache but no change.
I'm not sure how I clear the server cache.  Pretty URLs are working fine on another site on the same server.

thanks.

was Global Settings > Clear cache

You have something that not work in correct way.
Links are from MenuManager or a your UDT/module/Link of TinyMCE/have a strange htaccess/something/....
