.htaccess Help

[anthrax]

Hey,

I've used the Search button and I've been unable to find anything about my problem (which is hard to believe). Maybe I am using the wrong search terms, but I couldn't find a single thing other then mods for v3.

Here's what I've done...
I installed the directory correctly, admin panel works fine, everything is great.
I try to turn on SEO friendly URLs and the directory doesn't work anymore when I click on a Category. Yes, the .htaccess is in the /directory folder where I installed phpLD.

The .htaccess has 666 permission access, although I don't know if that matters. Please help me out :cool: .

Thanks,
.//anthrax

by doesn't work...do you mean that when you click a category it goes back to index page? If so try rebuilding your category cache.`

[anthrax]

It gives me the 404 Error page, although that might solve it...
How do I rebuild the category cache?

[shadav]

Content visible to registered users only.
this may help as well
Content visible to registered users only.Content visible to registered users only.

[anthrax]

Rebuild Category Cache must only be for v3. I have v2.1.2.

Like I said, I am getting a 404 Error, not a 500, although I do have 1and1 hosting.

This is my .htaccess:

Content visible to registered users only.

[shadav]

oh sorry lol yes it is v3 feature...
and that's the .htaccess that comes with the download...
well a few more random quotes that may or may not help
Content visible to registered users only.

also try changing the permissions to 755...i think that's what mine's set at.

[anthrax]

Tried to changing to 755 and no dice.
I'm almost certain 1and1 allows Apache.

ok

after this
RewriteEngine On

add
RewriteBase /

[anthrax]

Did that, still not working. My .htaccess is now:

Content visible to registered users only.

[James]

change the Options lines to #Options


is it 404 or 500? 1 and 1 requires commenting out of Options lines and the uncommenting of the rewrite base

[anthrax]

Done, still nothing. I am sure it's a 404 Error. I guess I should put my URL out ... <removed>. Once I get it working, I was planning on changing the logo and adding a domain and more categories ... but I want to know it works first.

.htaccess is now:

Content visible to registered users only.

[James]

RewriteBase /directory



if that doesnt fix it then will have to go up one level to your blogs htaccess

[anthrax]

There we goooooo.
That fixed it, thanks.

With phpld2.0 on 1and1 the url rewrite is working fine once we make changes in .htaccess file
