Clean URLs seem OK...ignore the failure notice?

Guess the title says it all — my articles seem to be previewing fine, though I haven’t tested every sort of URL. Should I be concerned that the clean URL test failure message is still on?

My .htaccess is:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /site/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

Re: Clean URLs seem OK...ignore the failure notice?

If I’m not mistaken, the message only says that the clean URL test failed, not the clean URLs themselves. I think it depends on the server settings. I have seen the message when the plugin rvm_maintenance was active, but only with one particular host. As long as it works, I wouldn’t worry.
Isn’t there a little question mark next to the message that you can click on and that tells you more? I can’t test it because I can’t produce the message ;)

Els, yes. The message does infact tell if the actual test failed, not necessarily that the actual clean URLs are not working. For example, the test will fail if PHP can’t make a connection to the server, which can happen if PHP’s outgoing connections are blocked.

If the clean URLs work, you can happily ignore the message.

Thanks! Just in case, are there a few specific URL combinations I should test?

If all possible URLs on the site in question work, I wouldn’t go digging any further ;)
