Re: Forcing index.php for clean urls???
I’ve been looking for the Apache modules too… and not finding anything in the usual places in which I find info
You can use phpinfo to display which modules are activated – see here for instructions and look for mod_rewrite in the output.
Very occassionally the htaccess needs tweaking slightly for particular hosts and it can be difficult to track down what is not actually working correctly. You might want to check the thread with clean url tweaks and try out some variations (note the thread goes back a while and some tweaks are for earlier versions).
“Are you just trying to rewrite all requests to index.php?”
The existing htaccess already directs all queries through index.php:
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.phpYou’ll see when you switch back to messy urls that every page calls index.php and then a series of queries for the section or category.

Re: Forcing index.php for clean urls???
One of my ‘usual’ places is using phpinfo… one of the first things I did. The host is using something called suPHP which I’m unfamiliar with… no idea if it’s a determining factor here… I thought the above RewriteRule was routing everything to index.php… but as I always struggle with rewrite directives, I wasn’t 100% sure of myself so asked several times in this post for confirmation. Thank you Jakob for answering… I’ll confirm it to my host and see what they offer…
I’ve also been through the thread you suggest.. spent a fair amount of time on this, and am obviously just not getting something, my ineptitude with rewrite really frustrates me…. thank you.

I use suPHP on multiple servers. Doesn’t cause problems with Textpattern.

Re: Forcing index.php for clean urls???
Hi
The host have taken statements out of the .htaccess….. I was adding (uncommenting) statements in. ‘Less is more’. It works now cut down to just 4 statements (for info):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
The statements below have been removed, no idea what the implications are:
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} !^$
RewriteRule .* – [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
Thanks for your help.

The only possible implication I can see is that you may not be able to use HTTP authentication, but that doesn’t always work anyway.
