Clean URL's Mac OS X 10.4

Hi

I’m a little new to textpattern and development on MySql and PHP. I have searched the forums and google about the issue I am getting with clean URLS in textpattern.

I will detail as much as possible.

1. PWS in Mac OS X Was Started.
2. MySql was installed version: 4.1.21-standard
3. A Database of textpattern was created and the root password altered.
4. Textpattern Version 4.0.3 installed /library/webserver/documents/sitepbce/ (contents of textpattern download placed here)
5. Textpattern was installed successfully to the textpattern database
6. /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file was edited and LoadModule php4_module was uncommented as well as AddModule mod_php4.c, i also edited the

<Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All
</Directory>

This was changed to AllowOverride All.
7. After changes have been made Apacher was gracefully resarted.
8.This is the current status of Diagnostics in Text Pattern

Textpattern version: 4.0.3 (r1188)
Last Update: 2006-08-29 18:33:14/2005-12-26 17:49:56
Document root: /Library/WebServer/Documents
$path_to_site: /Library/WebServer/Documents/sitepbce
Textpattern path: /Library/WebServer/Documents/sitepbce/textpattern
Permanent link mode: section_title
Temporary directory path: /private/var/tmp
Site URL: richard-saunders-powerbook58.local/sitepbce
PHP version: 4.4.1
Server Local Time: 2006-08-30 20:54:52

Locale: en_GB.UTF-8
Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin) PHP/4.4.1
Apache version: Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin) PHP/4.4.1
PHP Server API: apache
Server OS: Darwin 8.7.0

.htaccess file contents:
————————————
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /sitepbce/
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php </IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0

————————————

I stll recieve a 404 error when using clean URL’s

Can any body shed some light on this matter I’m banging my head against a brick wall (and its hurting)

Re: Clean URL's Mac OS X 10.4

Did you also uncomment
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
and
AddModule mod_rewrite.c?

I also had a problem getting clean url’s until I changed

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>

into

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride FileInfo
</Directory>

Thanks for your reply Els.

The above settings have already been applied.

I’ve also tried AllowOverride All

Hi Rich!

Take a look at MAMP.
No more config files editing, so you can get clean URL’s out of the box. Works great and has a very reasonable price ;-)

All the Best,
rui

Re: Clean URL's Mac OS X 10.4

rui Thanks so much. I just installed MAMP for a testing server and it works absolutly great. I will never install textpattern on Mac OS X another way.
