PhpLD 2.2: .htaccess Mods Problem

[xclusive]

I've just downloaded phpLD 2.2 and installed it without any trouble. Now I want to re-write the .htaccess so that I've SEO Friendly url for categories and sub-categoris. And that is where I am having trouble now.

Can someone please help? I've created a category called "test" and this is what I've in the .htaccess file but it's not working.


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^test(.*) index.php

I've just done this as a sheer guess. I'd really really appreciate if anyone could help me here.

Thanks in advance.

IF using apache and not IIS

try adding

RewriteBase /

right after

RewriteEngine On

Thanks for the heads up james. This is what I've and it still doesn't work. Any ideas? And yes it's apache.


RewriteEngine on
#RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^test2(.*) index.php

I've been watching this thread since yesterday. Is anyone willing to help? Please tell me if I am just wasting my time.

You've got the rewrite base commented out...

Change '#RewriteBase /' to 'RewriteBase /'

Bruce.

[James]

oh goodness

What is this ????

RewriteRule ^test2(.*) index.php


Change that back to the default htaccess rule please

Can you please give an example James? I've no idea about htaccess. What would be the default htaccess rule?

[James]

The one that is in the htaccess file in the download.

What problem are you having?

[gmschmitz]

How did you get this fixed? I did a fresh install yesterday and now just started adding categories. When I click the category it doesn't take me to that page it gives me a 404. If I shut off MOD rewrite it works fine. Checked my .htaccess file and everything is the same as when I installed it. took the comment off of RewriteBase / and nothing and it redirects to my home page.

Any help would be great.

[James]

did you rebuild the category cache after enabling rewrite?

[gmschmitz]

How do you do this in Version 2.2

[James]

you dont thought it was 3.x

[gmschmitz]

Any other suggestions out there. The url is www.missingpetads.com/resources all urls 404 with Mod rewrite on.

[James]

RewriteBase /resources

Thanks James, it's funny I was thinking about this last night while I was trying to sleep and I said the same thing to myself. Sometimes you forget the obvious :) Thanks again !!
