Pretty URLS [SOLVED]
Posted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 1:30 pm
Hi,
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:
Here is my .htaccess:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter
