.htaccess?

[enginerunup]

Hello all,

I am having a problem with the .htaccess file. When I had 5.1.1, I kept getting internal server errors, so I just deleted the .htaccess file, and all was well. I have now updated to 5.2.0, and am having the same problem with the .htaccess file, only now I don't want to delete it, so I can take advantage of the SEO url rewrite function that it provides. I have changed the permissions to 777, and enabled Mod-Rewrite via the Control Panel. Via the Control Panel, it seems to be successful, but the Enable/Disable buttons are blank when the page reloads, even though I clicked Enable.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Greg

Mod-rewrite is enable by default. The control panel will read .htaccess to find out whatever it's enable or disable.

However, the webhost may have no mod-rewrite enable. Try to check using phpinfo(). Create a file named phpinfo.php, upload and run with your browser.

<? phpinfo(); ?>

The the result page.

Done, but I don't have any loaded modules according to that. I would post the info, but there is some private info there. I have created a Support Ticket for this, but I figured the public might benefit from what I learn.

Thanks,

Then it could be server issue. If mod-rewrite is not available in your server, you should ask your webhost or move to other one.

mod_rewrite is availabe on our server, however whenever i enable mod_rewrite from the control panel, i get a page not found error. So I think I need to add a .htaccess file to the INDEXU directoy? If so, what should go into this file?

Thank you.

the .htacess is in the download file, you will get errors unless you uplaod it to your root / indexU directory (i think it should be the same directory you have your application.php file)

If you have installed on the root, then copy the .htaccess file and add the lines to yoru existing one. /

Thanks inspireme. I did FTP again .htaccess that's found in the INDEXU folder and all works fine now.

Thanks for your attention!

Cheers.
