Get clean URLs working?

I’ve checked the FAQ and followed the instructions here. No joy. Can’t get URLs to sections working – unless it enter the messy URL address (while still in /section/title mode).

Also tried the Serene template to see if that worked – same error. Starting to go in circles so thought I’d post. Diagnostics attached – I’ve also tried uncommenting the top lines of the .htaccess file (as per instructions).

Thanks,
Eoin

FAQ

You probably don’t have mod_rewrite enabled. Open up the file (I think this is the path to it) in your text editor:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf

Look for the line: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so and make sure that there is no # in front of it. If there is, remove it, save the file, and restart Apache.

Yes, it’s enabled – forgot to mention that in my original post.

Re: Get clean URLs working?

Please read the FAQ before posting. We can’t help you without more information. In particular:

• If you’re asking for help with a problem or error, please describe the problem clearly and unambiguously. If there is an error message, please include an exact copy of the message in your post. If something doesn’t work as expected, describe what you’re expecting to see, and the actual behaviour. A link to the page in question is usually helpful, and sometimes a screenshot might be appropriate. Descriptions like “doesn’t work” or “it’s broken” are too vague, and unlikely to receive an answer.

Re: Get clean URLs working?

Got it working. Hadn’t set AllowOverride to All in the main apache config file. Thanks for advice Zem – will try to be more specific in the future.
