Problem With Clean URLs After Upgrade
Hello everyone,
I wish to upgrade a site running Texpattern 1.0rc1 to the latest version, 4.0.3
Suspecting that this may not be totally straightforward, I made a complete copy of the site to experiment on.
Having successfully uploaded the files for 4.0.3, I have come across a problem which I can’t find an answer to.
When running 1.0rc1, in Admin > Site Preferences I had URL mode set to /clean/
There is no equivalent option after I upgrade. I can choose from ?=messy, /id/title, /section/id/title, /year/month/day/title, /section/title, and finally /title
None of these is the same as the old /clean/ mode, which produced URL’s using ‘section’ only.
Can anyone provide advice on how I can replicate the old clean URL mode?
This is important to me as there are a great number of hard-coded links to the old URLs.
I apologise if I someone else has already asked about this issue – I have done my best to find existing posts about this, but I’ve drawn a blank.
Thank you in advance

None of these is the same as the old /clean/ mode, which produced URL’s using ‘section’ only.
When you access a section, you will have a url with only the section in the url – it’s the same for all clean url-modes.
When accessing an individual article, obviously it is no enough to only have the section name. IIRC the old url mode used in the RC-versions was section/id/title.

Re: Problem With Clean URLs After Upgrade
Thanks for your answer Sencer – it all seems so logical now that you have explained it.
I am still having problems getting the site to operate as it should, but I suspect that these are unrelated to this specific topic so I won’t post them here.
Cheers

Re: Problem With Clean URLs After Upgrade
Hi … me again,
I’m afraid I’m still having problems getting the site to work with 4.0.3.
The original site is here: https://www.selfcateringshetland.com/ This is runnning 1.0rc1
The development site, which I am testing the upgrade on, is here http://dev.selfcateringshetland.com/. I have upgraded to 4.0.3, and the admin side of things seems to be working fine. The problem is that I can’t access any of the pages pages in the public site – no matter what URL I try to go to, the homepage gets displayed.
FYI, I have permanent link mode set to /section/title. (It seems to make no differece what mode I use).
Here is the diagnostics:
Textpattern version: 4.0.3 (r1188)

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php </IfModule>#php_value register_globals 0
————————————
I’d really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. I’m sure that I’m probably doing something very stupid, but I can’t think what it is.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Regards

Re: Problem With Clean URLs After Upgrade
In rc3 (I think it was) clean urls changed to use mod_rewrite. Chances are that your host either doesn’t support it, or you need to tinker with your rewrite rules.

Thanks Mary – I’ll tinker with mod_rewrite and will let you know how I get on.
