    SOLVED URL Rewrite / Index.php

    Posted 11 years 2 months ago
    • Server Details (Linux/Windows, Hosting service, etc)Linux/Host-Gator/C-Panel
      PHP version5.3
      Platform (name and version)Joomla! 2.5
      Template/Extension (name and version)SolarSentinel 1.1
      Link to the Issuenew location: http://visualedgehosting.com/~dwl
      existing location: http://dallaswholelife.com/

      Hi Guys,

      I've migrated the db over from an older 1.5 site and the new site looks and works ok. However when I enable url rewriting, I get dead links- looking for index.php/ files clicking on any menu item other than the root. I have renamed the file to ".htaccess" and I didn't add anything extra except the apphandler for running PHP 5.3. I did see this as a comment however: # RewriteBase /~dwl/ (dwl s the account name and account directory).

      My client's SEO organization is ready to start working, but I'd really like to get this resolved beforehand (if possible).

      Is this a problem because I'm using a working directory?

      Thanks in advance.

    • Do you have the .htaccess for the version of Joomla you are currently using?
      You should always start out with the default htaccess.txt for the joomla version your using.

    • Hi Joe,

      I just did a copy/paste from the older 1.5 site, making the php 53 change in the top line...I get the exact same results...
      any suggestions?

    • I would start with a fresh Joomla 2.5 htaccess.txt file. Possible you have a bad edit in the file.

    • I'm afraid that didn't help either.
      I tried using the orig htaccess.txt ( adding "AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php"), and got a 404.
      However the 404 now says this (after turning on url rewriting and changing file to .htaccess):
      /home/dwl/public_html/index.php was not found on this server.

      Not sure what is going on with directories here...would you like me to post the .htaccess file?

    • Try adding the RewriteBase line back in:
      RewriteBase /~dwl/
