Ok I am pretty new to all this server stuff.

As of right now I am hosting my own website. Using Uniform Server

 

I want to runt a script. But everytime I have a .htaccess file in my WWW directory it says access forbidden.

 

Im planning on hosting my other site which is a social networking site simular to myspace.

Short urls etc what file do I need to edit to make it where I can have short urls LEO etc All that.?

 

I also use dragonfly CMS there is an option to make it instead of index.phpact=fourms or some crap I can turn it on to where the link is fourms.html but it says Not found because server settings or something.

 

So Please help me out here LOL. (So confused)

A. You might need more support from the makers of the software you are using.

 

B. What do you mean you get the Forbidden error when you use the .htaccess? What exactly is in the .htaccess file, post it up here?

 

C. As i said, you might need more support from the software maker. You need to ask them how to use mod_rewrite with their software.

This is the one for Dragonfly CMS

UniForm Server Is Installed: C:\Server\Uniform Server

In your .htaccess, look for:

 

RewriteEngine On

 

Replace with:

 

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

Nice thanks mate! ^^

No Problem.

Will that work with all .htaccess files?

Ok tested it out. And it works with any .htaccess file ^^

Yap.
