    Hello,

    I'm strugging to get FURLs working in a local installation of ModX Revolution 2.6.1 using xampp. It keeps redirecting to index.php rather than the appropriate page. I've done these steps so far:


    • Turned on FURL in the manager.
    • Renamed htaccess to .htaccess in the root folder..
    • Changed RewriteBase to the root folder.
    • Uncommented rewrite_module modules/mod.rewrite.so in http.conf.

    Any ideas?

      If you're using a subfolder in htdocs then make sure your rewrite base reflects this.

      RewriteBase /subfolder/

        Thanks. It was sending me to index when it ran into an error. My problem was not appending .html. If I change the documents to containers, they work without the html, but I'm not sure whether that's best practice.

          Ah ok smiley

          If you go to content types in your manager (manager/?a=system/contenttype) and just remove the .html extension value then they'll work without needing to stick the extension on the end of the url.
