    Hey, can anyone assist me with this problem?

    I have installed ModX on a sub-domain on my development site "www.my.development.com/2014/mymodx"

    I have tried setting up friendly URLs by following this tutorial http://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/administering-your-site/using-friendly-urls but I am getting 404 errors.

    Here is my rewrite for the .htaccess

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.my.development\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.my.development.com/2014/mymodx/$1 [R=301,L]

# The Friendly URLs part
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]


    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

      Is this a subdomain, or a subdirectory? If it's a real subdomain as a virtual domain in your Apache configuration, like mymodx.mydevelopment.com, then that should be working.

      If it's a subdirectory, mydevelopment.com/mymodx, then you have to add the subdirectory to the RewriteBase line:
      RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /mymodx/

          A subdirectory is not a subdomain. A subdomain may be in a subdirectory, though. wink
