    URL Method 2 .htaccess issue on GoDaddy

    hi - long time lurker - first time poster (and i used the affiliate code on GoDaddy too so hopefully that donated some money back to the project).

    Here's my issue:
    -I've changed to URL Method 2 - which then redirects to sitename.com/category - except that it doesn't - the browser still shows the index.php page regardless of the /category page selected.

    -when i change the .htaccess file - i get a 500 Internal Server Error - (and yes i've copied all the info from the categories page for the .htaccess file)

    My specs are:
    Pligg 1.03b
    hosted on GoDaddy

    ThnX in advance to anyone that can help me out and/or point me in the right direction. Go Pligg!

    A quick Google revealed a number of caveats you may run into with Godaddy and mod_rewrite, top amongst them being 15-60 minute delays before .htaccess changes take effect.

    This is a shot in the dark but it sounds like it could be an issue with -MultiViews

    Try removing -MultiViews from line 8 in your htaccess..

    Change
    Code:
    Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
    To
    Code:
    Options +FollowSymlinks

    nope didn't work. But now i'm locked out of my admin account altogether too.

    When you choose url method 2 - the login redirects me back to the index page (nice loop). So i'm going to have to dig into the database table to try and find where i need to make a change to get access again. fun fun fun.

    If anyone has any other ideas on how to get the .htaccess to work on GoDaddy - love to hear it! the only reason i chose them is pligg had them listed and i wanted to give back to the project.

    Smile

    i successfully solved this problem by commenting this line about #203:
    Code:
    Options All -Indexes
    to:
    Code:
    ## Options All -Indexes
    And the URL 2 method now works!

    About this issue, you can upload the new .htaccess file to your server, then you'll be able to login your admin panel.

    aaahh my bad - it actually DOES WORK...with two caveats.

    Adding in the categories information that Pligg provides doesn't work - so i needed to leave as the default info. Also i made the mistake of uploading the adjusted .htaccess file as ASCII which is didn't work. When i editted with VI it worked fine.

    ThnX!!!
