CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all,

I'm trying to use mod-rewrite on this domain - http://animalwelfare.agnutrilink.net/  - clicking the links result 500 server errors.

I'm using CMSMS 1.0.2 - Apache - PHP 5 and MYSQL - versions link: http://faq.1and1.com/miscellaneous/17.html

This is my ISP's mod rewrite link:

http://faq.1and1.com/scripting_language ... ess/4.html

My config urls section and .htaccess : http://cmsmadesimple.org/pastebin/355

I tried to put #s in front of the 3 items under the 301 redirect (a suggestion on irc) but no sucess.

Any help will be appreciated.

I suppose that paste had some config.php content too? (if that was a full copy paste from your .htaccess remove all php code from .htaccess)

another thing might be

Options +FollowSymLinks

not all hosts allow this directive try disabling that line.

hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestions on the forum and IRC....  here's the fix   

'm not sure why this worked... I scanged the page extension from '/' to '.html' - I had seen .html being used by another CMSMS site and tried it. I hope that won't cause problems else where.

#If you don't use mod_rewrite, then would you like to use the built-in

#If you're using the internal pretty url mechanism or mod_rewrite, would you like to
#show urls in their hierarchy?  (ex. http://www.mysite.com/parent/parent/childpage)

#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)
