Search engine friendly not working

[cbolts]

Hi,

I have installed phpLD on two sites now, and I am having the same problem on both.

When I turn on my SEO friendly links, I get a 500 internal error. Is anyone familiar with this?

Heres the link to my site www.bloggingabroad.com (http://www.bloggingabroad.com)

Just click on any category and you will see what i am talking about.

and heres my htaccess file which looks good to me

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* index.php [QSA,L]

Any help is much much MUCH appreciated.

Try adding this, after RewriteEngine On:
Content visible to registered users only.

Hope that helps, I know it did with mine. Also, check this out: http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1702

for me it doesn't work, my problem is that i installed the directory on a sub folder.

www.mydirectory.com/dir/

i've tried modifying the htaccess like that but no luck:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /sites
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* index.php [R=301,QSA,L]


i don't get the 404 error but i get nothing, i suspect the /site is taken as a parameter ?


An idea ?
thank you

I am also having trouble with it. I got the categories finally to show up (my htaccess file was bad) but now my design images are broken?

do i have to use absolute URL's in my header for referencing my links and images then? any way around that?

SOLUTION: nevermind i got it, just used this code infront of the link or image reference for anyone else needing the same thing:

{$smarty.const.DOC_ROOT}


Thanks

John
