pappysniper 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 HI everyone I've got a site built from a cms which uses pageID's etc, you have the facility to use mod-rewrite to change the url's to html extensions. When I turn it on I get page not found on this server or you don't have permission.when I question this with the people who built the cms apparently you are supposed to just turn it on and away you go. I was wondering if any could explain the correct way to use this facility. thanks for any helpUploadAproperty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
megan 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 HI go int0 your server folder\drive\usr\local\apache2\conf and open the httpd.conf file in a TEXT editor scroll down a little to the area where you see the list of modules to load make sure that the line loading mod_rewrite is NOT commented out LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so Not #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so then go to udrive\www\ and open the .htaccess file in a TEXT editor add the following lines and save Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On your mod_rewrite should now work hth ~megan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
