CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all,

I upgraded my site (http://www.laskettelu.fi) from 1.8.2 to 1.9.4.1 and I had some problems, but I solved them with installing the whole site from scratch – saving the data, but otherwise from scratch.

After installing all modules I used to use, the whole site works fine, but there is one problem left: pretty URLs. You see, now they work partially:

the URL
http://www.laskettelu.fi/index.php?page=rinneluokittelu

works, as does

http://www.laskettelu.fi/rinneluokittelu

The original URL is now served by the system, all the links are now shown as no pretty URL, but if you write them by hand, they work. And I want pretty URLs only.

My .htaccess looks no like
# 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

#-----------------
#Behaviour Settings
#-----------------

# These settings will effect the overall behaviour of the CMS application, please
# use extreme caution when editing these. Additionally, some settings may have
# no effect on servers with significantly restricted configurability.

# Warning: This option is deprecated and will be removed in later versions oF CMSMS.
# If you are experiencing problems with php memory limit errors, then you may
# want to try enabling and/or adjusting this setting.
# Note: Your server may not allow the application to override memory limits.
$config['php_memory_limit'] = '';

# In versions of CMS Made Simple prior to version 1.4, the page template was processed
# in it's entirety. This behaviour was later changed to process the head portion of the
# page template after the body. If you are working with a highly configured site that
# relies significantly on the old order of smarty processing, you may want to try
# setting this parameter to true.
$config['process_whole_template'] = false;

# CMSMS Debug Mode? Turn it on to get a better error when you
# see {nocache} errors, or to allow seeing php notices, warnings, and errors in the html output.
# This setting will also disable browser css caching.
$config['debug'] = false;

# Output compression?
# Turn this on to allow CMS to do output compression
# this is not needed for apache servers that have mod_deflate enabled
# and possibly other servers. But may provide significant performance
# increases on some sites. Use caution when using this as there have
# been reports of incompatibilities with some browsers.
$config['output_compression'] = false;

# Timezone setting
# PHP 5.3 requires that timezones be set at the server level.
# This variable can be used to set your sites timezone.
# Valid values for this variable can be found at:
# http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
# If this field is empty, no timezone will be set
