Friendly URL's for categories works, but for stories not

[sixlaneve]

as in the title.

I've got the modrewrite in the server, .htaccess is uploaded, URLMethod is set to 2 and Friendly URL's for categories and Friendly URL's for stories are set to true.

Everything works fine, apart from the stories... I get either a blank page (is Friendly URL's for stories is false) or a 404 (if Friendly URL's for categories is true)

any idea/help?

Hi sixlaneve

Could you paste your .htaccess file?
I am using urlmethod 2 and my .htaccess looks like this..

@chuckroast
Does your "edit" link work in the comments section? I am using the same file as you do and it doesn't. Please let me know.

[sixlaneve]

chuckroast, I tried your file (of course i changed the domain name)... URL Method 2 now works correctly for stories, but friendly url doesn't still work for stories.

also, when I click on the link of the original news, it goes to the same page.

:/

I may not understand your problem correctly, but this sounds like one I had. I realized that I hadn't updated line 16 in the .htaccess file with the new on provided at the bottom of the Category Management page.

Line 15, above says: ##### When categories change, you must replace the following line with the new one pre-made for you in the category management section of the admin panel, bottom of the page. ######

This update made the story titles actually link to the story pages.
