URL Rewrite not working

[searchpurple]

When I turn URL rewrite off in the admin panel, all the links work fine. But when I turn it off, the links send me to a "page not found" error. Whats wrong?

PS: I dont know if this is related or not, but the pagerank next to each link is not working.

Until the problem with the PR is solved, I removed them. Basically, the image shows up, but it says everything is a PR0.

Hi searchpurple,
For url rewrite to work, you must have a line in your .htaccess file which contains the following lines;

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /



Sometimes when additional pages/categories have been added, you must run the "rewriter" ( see htaccess rewriter mod (http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1702) and copy the output from that, into your .htaccess file, also.)

Well at least, thats where I went wrong.

Good luck.

As for pr status, I've no idea.

Does

"RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /"

have to be anywhere specific in the .htaccess?

Also, I tried downloading that rewriter, but apparently I need a password...?

So no one knows the answer?

Best if first two lines.

[searchpurple]

Even above these 2 lines?

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

Well, place it after that, I suppose, it shouldn't matter either way. Try both ways.

Hi searchpurple,
Did you get fixed up?
Cos I'm not sure that you are editing the correct file
"# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*"
(I don't know what that is)

Is it in a file named .htaccess ?

[searchpurple]

yea its the .htaccess file. Here are the contents of that file:

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName
AuthUserFile /home/devilzf/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/devilzf/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

You better get the rewriter so;
there should be other stuff there like

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

and then a load of lines like;

RewriteRule ^Abbeyfeale(.*) index.php
RewriteRule ^Abbeylara(.*) index.php
RewriteRule ^Abbeyleix(.*) index.php
RewriteRule ^Abbeyshrule(.*) index.php
RewriteRule ^Accessories(.*) index.php

where the word "Abbeyfeale" would be the category name. It'll be different in your case of course.

Do I really have to pay $10 to get that rewriter?

You might want to ask VSDan (not directly affiliated with phpLD but a great supporter). I think mainly he just wants some compensation for the time puts into writing and supporting his mods.

Hey Search Purple,
Does your frontpage works after you added on the Rewrite code??

Look at mine.

# -FrontPage-
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

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

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName
AuthUserFile /home/addurl/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/addurl/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

It helps with the rewrite url.. but now i cannot use my frontpage at all.
I have other websites and uses frontpage to access to all the sites (reseller hosting under same cpanel).. now i cannot access to them via frontpage.. a big issue..

Would like to know if u have the same situation or not. Or if someone here has got the same issues..

Thank you for reading..


Oh yea, is there such a problem in Version 3?? I do have a very limited budget, hence i went with v2 1st..
