Links not working

I have installed cmsms and am having an issue with the links. The links are coming out as http://www.mysite.com/cms/index.php/Contact

Basically, the page name is being appended to the url with a preceding slash. I am getting page not found errors.

Any ideas on how to properly link to the pages I create in cmsms?

Thanks

have you copied htaccess.txt to your main folder and renamed it to .htaccess?

The builtin pretty URL scheme doesn't work on some webhosts (does not work with IIS, for example).

Open config.php,

find:

Code: Select all

$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true;
change it to:

Code: Select all

$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = false;
Should fix your problem. This will be off by default in CMSMS 1.0

For a way to use .htaccess to get URLs like:
www.example.com/parent/child
