I don't really understand the instructions set in config.php: // true or false (will remove the ? in the URL. You have to removed the _ before _.htaccess // and set the RewriteBase (there is 2 htacces file (the other one is in the admin directory)) define('USE_MOD_REWRITE', false); I did set it to true but now i get 404 everywhere. please help! i don't see any .htaccess files |

Ricks, do you get 404 error or a 500 ? Did you renamed _.htaccess to .htaccess and then modified this line in config.php : [code] define('USE_MOD_REWRITE', false); [/code] to [code] define('USE_MOD_REWRITE', true); [/code] And what software do you use for localhost? If your using Xampp or Appserv, the .htaccess file won't work. Do you have mod_rewrite activated in you php.ini? |

@Bdesign: btw, you can use Markdown to format your post. It is very easy to use, once you know a few basics! I think you are trying to use BBcode? |

I have some problems to remove the question mark on my little testsite. I get a 500 error... I removed the underscore from the _.htaccess file and adjusted the line of code in the config.php file. A second _.htacces file I couldn't find in my admin folder... Is there anybody that can help me? thx |

Did you edit the .htaccess file so that the "base directory" is correct? For me, for example, in the .htaccess file I have this line: because Frog lives in the root directory of the website. If you have Frog living somewhere else, you might need to change that line. I think it reads Something to check, anyway.... |
