I'm trying to use Pretty URL's in version 1.8.2 with little to no success.

I was able to amend the URL settings:

#------------
#URL Settings
#------------

#What type of URL rewriting should we be using for pretty URLs?  Valid options are:
#'none', 'internal', and 'mod_rewrite'.  'internal' will not work with IIS some CGI
#configurations. 'mod_rewrite' requires proper apache configuration, a valid
#.htaccess file and most likely {metadata} in your page templates.  For more
#information, see:
#http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/FAQ/Installation/Pretty_URLs#Pretty_URL.27s
$config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';

#Extension to use if you're using mod_rewrite for pretty URLs.
$config['page_extension'] = '.htm';

#If you're using the internal pretty url mechanism or mod_rewrite, would you like to
#show urls in their hierarchy?  (ex. http://www.mysite.com/parent/parent/childpage)
$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;

#If using none of the above options, what should we be using for the query string
#variable?  (ex. http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=somecontent)
$config['query_var'] = 'page';

From here I proceeded to take the htaccess.txt from the /doc directory and replace the existing .htaccess file.

This allowed my page extensions and url to change to eg http://test.com/test.htm but this page was throwing up an error saying it could not be found. The page is still available under the default http://test.com/index.php?page=test.

Does anyone have any insight into where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

Chris

Ok!

Have you upload ".htaccess" file to root path yet?

File .htaccess you can get at "docs" folder when download code.

Or you can get

Code: Select all

# Attempt to override some php settings, these settings may be helpful on some hosts if your
# default configuration does not meet CMS's minimum requirements, and your host
# has given your account appropriate permissions
#php_value upload_max_filesize "10M"
#php_value session_save_path "tmp/cache"

#php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
#php_flag register_globals Off
#php_flag session.use_trans_sid Off

# (this is important, so uncomment if your host permit)
#Options -Indexes
#ServerSignature Off
#
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
#
#Sub-dir e.g: /cmsms
RewriteBase /

# Redirect to canonical domain name without www
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourdomain\.com$ [NC]
# RewriteRule ^(.*) http://yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

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

Save above code to ".htaccess" and upload to root.

If you install CMCMS on sub folder, you have to change "RewriteBase /" to "RewriteBase /subfolder" (with "subfolder" is your sub folder you installed CMCMS)

Hope this help!

Here I come again with URL issue.
While using 1.8.2 my pretty URL had no extension and worked fine. Then I decided to use .html extension, but I also ended with page not found error. So, I had to go back to slash. Then it worked fine again.

Then I upgraded to 1.9 (with lot of trouble) and couldn't wait to try content URL feature, but unfortunately those URL's didn't work - Not found again! I tried it with blog articles (blog/the-title-of-the-article, and with standard content, always the same...
