Re: Permanent link mode Error Message
jm:
I have other hosts that I could and have uses, but thanks for the post …
the client is attached to GoDaddy for some reason. It seems like changing the htaccess file would do the trick, but unfortunately after several hours of searching still no luck …
help?

Re: Permanent link mode Error Message
Can you post the contents of your .htaccess file? And describe the variations you tried?

Re: Permanent link mode Error Message
Senser:
First I started with the original:
————————————————————————
#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
————————————————————————
NO LUCK.
From there I followed the suggestions in the FAQ. NO LUCK
I then found these posts on the internet:
http://forum.modrewrite.com/viewtopic.php?t=2218: This looked very promising, but I could not get it to configure with our htaccess file without getting error.
http://enarion.net/web/apache/htaccess/trailing-slash/ : This also looked promising, but I think needed a tweak or two beyond my knowledge) since when I tried I got many errors
http://mail.mems-exchange.org/durusmail/quixote-users/624/ : Tried some variations with no luck.
I am sure I tried other things since I gave up after about 4 hours out of frustration for a problem that seems so minor.
Any assitance you could provide would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: Permanent link mode Error Message
We can only guess, since we don’t have access to the information you do (like specific error messages).
Your best bet is to search the forum for a GoDaddy specific .htaccess file, or post a How Do I thread asking for one. Other than that, I’m afraid you’re stuck with messy URLs. It’s unlikely this is anything to do with the 4.0.4 release.

ZEM:
With that answer, I think I will move the account. Spent 4 hours on it last night. Not worth another 4 hours. I have searched enough to know there is something with the GoDaddy accounts both with TextPattern and Wordpress with this issue that is a stickler. I though just maybe you would have the magic touch.
I would use messy URL’s, but it is an issue with the unlimited category plug in, which actually started this whole mess …
Thanks for your support and the great product you guys/gals are and continue to develop …
