I followed all the instructions listed in the right order. http://www.madebyfrog.com/docs/how-to/remove-the-question-mark-from-the-url.html I changed the Rewrite base from RewriteBase /frog/ to RewriteBase / because I have Frog installed in my root domain at www.cormacmoylan.com However, when I change the file name of the htaccess file and alter the config.php to true I get an Internal Server Error message when I access the site. I’m not sure why this happens as I had permalinks enabled with Wordpress so I doubt it’s an apache issue but I’m not sure. Any ideas?

This is the htaccess file that causes the error: php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteRule ^admin(.)$ admin/index.php?$1 [L,QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteRule ^(.)$ index.php?PAGE=$1 [L,QSA] </IfModule>

If it’s a Unix/Linux server, sometimes they require the .htaccess file has appropriate permissions applied – usually ‘755’, or rwxr-xr-x. Something else to check too :)

Google it!

Sep 1, 2009 13:54 Craig 76 posts	On a Mac, you would probably do this: `mv _.htaccess .htaccess`
