.htaccess amendments
I’m getting the error message and have tried various workarounds suggested in the forum as well as asking my provider. None of them are working and the only way I can get the site going and have my posts displayed is to set it to messy urls and rename .htaccess to another name (.htaccess2).
My provider has an Apache file server, details here:
http://web.mydns.net.nz/info.php
Can anyone suggest a work around that will allow for clean urls?
(Apologies as I’m new to all of this and not a code writer or developer.)
Thanks

Re: .htaccess amendments
It’s probably not a PHP thing.
What exactly is your error message? Do you know of any modifications or specific things your hosting company might have done to Apache and/or mod_rewrite?

Re: .htaccess amendments
Error message as below. My provider investigated and told me that the problem is with the .htaccess file, and he suggested changing the name.
thanks

Re: .htaccess amendments
My provider had a go at fixing it and moved the .htaccess file into the text pattern folder. Didn’t improve the situation.
I’ve completely reinstalled everything back onto the server and am back at the same problem.
My provider has assured me that they have made no changes to the Apache server and that mod_rewrite installed.
I’ve pulled the code from the .htaccess file in the version 4.0.4 that I have uploaded. As follows:
#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
The structure of the folders on my server are as follows:
ftp.mydns.net.nz
—swellmagonline.com
—-images
—-files
—-textpattern
Both the .htaccess file and the index.php file sit at the same level in the swellmagonline.com folder as the images, files and texpattern folders.
Not sure where to go next. Any thoughts appreciated.

Re: .htaccess amendments
My provider has figured out how to do it and it’s now working. I will post the detail in the thread on this when I get it.
thanks
