Rewrite Question

[nielsenrc]

I'm not an htaccess ninja by any means - but I've noticed that CMS Made Simple seems to honor two different ways of getting to a page:

1) http://www.yourdomain.com/page.html

&

2) http://www.yourdomain.com/page/

Does anybody know why this is - and if they do - how to fix it?

Here is my htaccess:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
 
# 301 Redirect all requests that don't contain a dot or trailing slash to
# include a trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L,NE]
 
# 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,NE]

And here are the relevant config file settings:

Code: Select all

#------------
#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'] = '.html';

#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';

$config['use_hierarchy'] = false;

Any ideas?

Nothing eh? All right - I guess I'll keep hacking away at it. Any input is greatly appreciated.
