Re: need some help with clean urls/.htaccess on godaddy

See John’s post from 2007. As John’s modifications for the old .htaccess file, and the helpful post explains, in your .htaccess file you will probably see lines:

#Options +FollowSymLinks
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/

Try to change them into:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /

You may also end up changing rewirebase and defining directoryindex. Directoryindex can be changed by uncommenting the line already in the file.

Edit: I resolved my issue. Had the .htaccess file under the subdomain and not under the root directory. Can tell I’m working late :) thanks for the help though!

Same here. Your diagnostics indeed points out that the .htaccess file is missing. Should’ve looked harder.
