I am integrating CMS Made Simple into my current website and want to ensure that the url's remain the same so am using pretty url's.
I have managed to configure pretty url's to work if I put a file extension in the relevant config.php section:
e.g. $config['page_extension'] = '.html'; or $config['page_extension'] = '.php';
However what I need to achieve is for my url's not to have a file extension:
e.g. http://www.maidenheadtown.org/maidenhead-restaurants/
The problem is when I leave the page_extension blank:
$config['page_extension'] = ''
I get an error (see the above mentioned page):
"Error 403 - Forbidden
You tried to access a document for which you don't have privileges."
Here is the relevant part of my config.php file:
Code: Select all
$config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';
$config['page_extension'] = '';
$config['query_var'] = 'page';
$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;
Code: Select all
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
