Pretty URLs

[SilverXp]

Hello,


I want to make pretty URLs. These are my settings in config.php:

$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = false;
$config['page_extension'] = '.php';
$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true;
$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;

I also created the .htaccess file in the start map.

I want to have these URLs: http://www.example.com/parent/child

But everytime I put $config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = false; on I don't get an error but I can't change pages and I can only view the Home page.

Now my URLs are: http://www.example.com/index.php/parent/child
But I want them like this: http://www.example.com/parent/child

Can somebody help?


Bye,

Hi Thom

$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = false;

must be true to use url rewriting via .htaccess.

I also created the .htaccess file in the start map.

Which commands are inside this file?

Hello,


I know that: $config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = false; must be true, but if I do that it gets all stuck.

This is inside my .htaccess file:

#php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
#php_flag register_globals Off
#php_flag session.use_trans_sid Off

# Make sure you have Options FollowSymLinks
# and Allow on
RewriteEngine On

#Rewrites page.shtml as index.php?page
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

I hope that this can help you...

Have you read this?

Hello,


I read it and tries it.

I installed the new .htaccess file and changed config.php and the {metadata} plugin is already installed in the template (default).

But still the pages don't change and I keep seeing home.

Any other suggestions?

triple check .htaccess filename and ask your isp if they support it

[SilverXp]

Hi,

They support it, I asked it another time.

I tried again now, but still it doesn't work.

All other URL options work, like the: http://www.example.com/index.php/parent/child/
But this option doesn't work: http://www.example.com/parent/child/

The last option is the one that I want.

I already read the User Handbook and I read the FAQ.

Is there anything more that I can do?

Thanks fot the tip, but I found the problem now.

I had to leave:

#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';

in default way.

Now I see why it didn't work.

Thanks to all!
