Pretty URLs

[colej2k]

Have you tried to check the server error logs to see if anythings been left when you were testing ?

[Mark H]

There seems to be some errors that apply:

The forum seems to be redirecting to http://rabel.org.uk/index.php  in all cases.  The directory the forum is on is http://rabel.org.uk/rabel-forum/ .

Mark.

EDIT:

This is what I've got in my .htaccess :

# PRETTYURLS MOD ENDS

[Mark H]

SOLVED!

It had nothing to do with mod_rewrite.  I had another set of rules in .htaccess (for Wordpress) that was causing a conflict. 

Mark.

Try
Solved putting "queryless_urls" variable in smf_settings table to 0
Or disable querless urls settings

Thanks for your quick reply, can you explain it in layman's term for dummies pls? 

If you go into PHPmyAdmin (which you should be able to access through your web hosting package) and then select the smf database.  You should then be able to browse the smf_settings table...you're looking for a row called "queryless_urls".  Then change the variable from 1 to 0.

Thanks, I got the general idea... now I'm here... and I clicked around and dont know how to change it to "0".

I'm on this screen (see attachment).

Please advise.... thank you for helping out a newbie

Easy way quick on smf_settings table and browse it on the left hand side.

what's "quick" on smf_settings table?

got it, that little icon on the left side of the link.... let me see if it works...

[Mark H]

I think VB meant "click".  If you find smf_settings on the left hand side, click on that and you should be able to click on the queryless_urls..click on the "1" and you should (hopes!) be able to change it to 0.

IT WORKS! Thank you everyone!!!

[vbgamer45]

Glad you got it working

vbgamer45 can I only replace files from rc4?
Thanks

[vbgamer45]

Not really a mandatory update. Only update was to fix issues that some members had if it prettyurls wasn't working correctly.

[SirReal]

I get tired of hacking pretty urls to work with lighttpd every time.
Perhaps you could include this diff to fix the darned quotation bug.

Yeah, it's not pretty and could use some cleanup, but basically, quotes aren't safe, so just nuke them.

bump

[eyo]

switched to rc3 and i cant get this to install properly (can't find the edits needed) what version works well with rc3?

[vbgamer45]

That latest version should. Minor changes between rc3 and rc4 I suggest using a package parser to find the edits.

I am understand.
The change are in the database or only in the files?
Can I replace only files?
Thank you
