I just installed a the patch for the modrewrite but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I did include the .htaccess file like described.
Thanks for your suggestions...

It seems you do not have the necessary config entry into the conf.inc.php
Check the "other stuff" part and replace the default settings:
$phpwcms["rewrite_url"] = 0;
with this one:
$phpwcms["rewrite_url"] = 1;

Thanks for the reply. That was the problem and it works now!
. Funny thing was that I looked in that file earlier and there was nothing there about re-write at all. I added $phpwcms["rewrite_url"] = 1; to the file and it made it work.
One other comment about this... I had to play around with my .htaccess file a bit. For some reason it didn't work for me as written. I had to remove extra periods from the file. My .htaccess file had to look like this:
Code: Select all
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ ./index.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^index.html$ ./index.php
rather than this:
Code: Select all
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ ../index.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^index.html$ ../index.php
Thanks.
