Re: Post your Clean URL .htaccess tweaks here

OK, good points, we’ll see how we can make it clearer that people find the relevant FAQ items. We do have this item http://textpattern.com/faq/52/500-internal-server-error which also links to the one for tweaking .htaccess. If you have any sugestions on how to reword things, I am listening.

Should I use RewriteBase instead of /index.php? Are there times when they wouldn’t behave the same?

It’s a general solution that also works when textpattern is in a subdirectory not the webroot. But I think either way is fine in terms of functioning properly – at least I haven’t heard otherwise.

Re: Post your Clean URL .htaccess tweaks here

The FAQ is clear. I honestly usually search the forum first. I’ll just have to change my habits ;)

If there was an easy way to mirror the faq in forum without making extra work for you developers, that’d be great. Or maybe just a link by the search box.

Thanks for your endless work and tireless help. It’s very much appreciated…

Re: Post your Clean URL .htaccess tweaks here

is there a way to make clean file download urls, that show the actual filename instead of the file id number?

Re: Post your Clean URL .htaccess tweaks here

I confirm that mkorsakov’s method (post #12) works for 1und1.de. Thanks a lot.
Also, I do not recommend 1und1.de as a good host, their FTP and MySQL services are very, very slow, at least in my case, and the site i’ve got running on 1und1 isn’t heavy at all.

Re: Post your Clean URL .htaccess tweaks here

I had a couple frustrating days trying to figure out why an .htaccess file was working fine on one site, but not on another on the same host – but then I checked the permissions. The ones that weren’t working had permissions set to 000, so they could not be accessed. They should be at 644. You can change this with most ftp programs such as Fetch.

I’m using aplus.net, and the htacces file reads:

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /

<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

Re: Post your Clean URL .htaccess tweaks here

Thought I’d post this for Windows users using Uniform Server for WAMP.

Stock htaccess, just uncomment Options +Follow Symlinks to get clean URLs working:

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Options +FollowSymLinks
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/

<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

If you’ve got multiple TXP installs on your localhost install, it’d be easier to upload an htaccess file in the root containing Options +FollowSymLinks, so you don’t have to uncomment that line for each install.

So, Clean URLs are working, but all URLs in the archive page(s) (archief_nieuws; archief_weblog) must have + “../”

Can that be changed into URLs without “../” … any help is welcome!

This is the only configuration that wouldn’t give me an error, but it still doesn’t enable clean URLs. I know how to read and follow instructions, but I’m not really a master at figuring these types of things out on my own.

Edit: Guh… I’m using CGI so I’m out of luck for clean URLs :(

Re: Post your Clean URL .htaccess tweaks here

Thanks mrdale and pastafiend

The htaccess you posted for 1and1 also works for Claranet’s Clarahost in UK. I’d almost given up hope of getting clean URLs to work, and after patiently trying numerous variations I was starting to lose the will to live until I got lucky with this one.

Nice one, thanks again!
