Friendly URLs

[mushmoosh]

I am having a bit of trouble with enabling Friendly URLs; specifically, through the use of URL Method 2. I renamed the htaccess file. I am not using a subdomain or subdirectory. Mod Rewrite is enabled on my server.

When I activate URL method 2 from within the admin, it appears that the URLs are actually translating into Friendly URLs correctly. However, when I actually click on any link, it will not load the page.

I have searched the forum as best as I can, but cannot find the answer.

Any thoughts??

I ran into this problem before and I think I deleted the files in my cache folder and my template_c folder and it started working after that. Anyway, it's worth a try.

thank you....

I just deleted everything in the cache and templates_c folder. However, it did not work and found the same result....

I have no clue what it could be. All the links take me to a Not Found on this server page.

What you need to do is copy the text on bottom of the category admin page and paste it into you .htaccess file.

Comment out what is there now:

##### You can find the below lines pre-made for you in the category management section of the admin panel ######
#RewriteRule ^(all|pligg)/([^/]+)/?$ story.php?title=$2 [L]
#RewriteRule ^(all|pligg)/?$ ?category=$1 [L]

and replace it with:
RewriteRule ^(all|Cases|CellPhones|Coolers|DigitalCameras|Gadg ets|GPS|Laptops|Keyboardsandmice|Miscellaneous|Pri nters|SoundSystems|$
$stems|VideoCards|WebCameras)/?$ ?category=$1 [L]

(obviously your rewrite rule will differ from mine)

That should fix it for you,
