Did you use the command "Update Category Path"?

[dody]

After modifying the mod-rewrite pattern, you should run Update Category Path

Can you provide some specific examples of mod_rewrite patterns?

Thanks.

Hi Dody,
Is there somewhere special that a file permission eneds to be changed for mod _rewrite to work ?

I put in the following ...
Category page pattern {$cat_path}/more{$page}.html
Detail page pattern detail/{$link_id}/{$link_title}.html

hit configure and it tells me to run category update yet still have old link showing .

Also when I return to check mod_reqrite from cp it is all blank again so I am assuming there is a file with wrong permission that needs to be adjusted.

can you tell me what file that would be ?

Never mind
I re-uploaded stock version of .htaccess and it resolved all the problems.

For the modrewrite to work through the control panel your .htaccess file must have proper permissions. CHMOD .htaccess to 666 or 777

Why my rewrite rule for rss at .htaccess not work?
RewriteRule ^rss(.*)\.xml$ /rss.php?type=$1
RewriteRule ^rss(.*)-(.*)\.xml$ /rss.php?type=$1&cat=$2

[Bruceper]

Follow the direction above, they are all there as to how to configure it.

Why would you want to rewrite RSS? It's only the link to the RSS that has the ? in it, the actual feed contains SEO'd URL's.

All above rules work for me. not work new rules.
And I do not understand why these rules for rss do not work.
RSS directory not accept this type /rss.php?type=$1
links and I wish them to change to frendly url.

As I said before, why do you want to rewrite the url to the rss feed?

There is no point. But if you really want to then you'll need to add to to rss.php to enable mod_rewrite
