CMS Made Simple Forums

First of all: your cmsms version is way too old, not supported anymore and should be upgraded asap.

That said: do you have access to apache error/access logs? Read those and try to determine what happens.

Also you don't need to make any changes to the php.ini file, and read this...

I followed theese steps but still getting a 404 error.

Copied the htaccess.txt from the doc folder to the root and renamed it to .htaccess

Added theede lines tot my config.php;
$config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';
$config['page_extension'] = '.html';

Made sure that in the head of my themplate {metadata} is there

But still a 404 error

Clear cache?

Yes but no luck

Website in a subfolder at the server?
Are you sure the changed config file is at the server?
Hardcoded links?
You have an url to the site?

The website is not in a subfolder.
Deleted the old config.php fist and then uploaded the new one.
Hardcoded links?

URL is http://www.zoetebakselz.nl/

It seems that the is missing from the < head > block. You should add a base tag or the {metadata} tag for the pretty URL's to work properly.

Sorry, still the same

You are on Linux or Windoze server?

Have you undone the changes you made to php.ini? Have you upgraded to 1.11.7 now (latest)? Post your Site Admin -> System Information.

I just did pretty URLs on a 1.9.4.3 site in about 1 minute, set the 2 lines in config.php, copy htaccess.txt to root, rename .htaccess, badda boom badda bing, done...

On a Linux server

This doesn't help, having 2 of these...

<base href="http://www.zoetebakselz.nl/">

<base href="http://www.zoetebakselz.nl/" />

Finally I got a solution. After searching all over the internet I contacted the hosting provider. They told me to login in to the Parallels portal and synchronize the htaccess. Never heard of this option before but voila, problem solved.

Lesson learned, contact the hosting provider fist
