Friendly urls result in a 404 error

still not working....

If you have RewriteBase /new AND have RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /new/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA], then think about what you’re telling it to do:

Start from /new, then from there add /new/index.php...

So what you’re feeding MODx is /new/new/index.php?q=alias.html.

Get rid of the /new in the RewriteRule; you only need it in the RewriteBase.

No luck their either...Here is the complete htaccess in the root of the new folder....

I think also get rid of the slash in your current RewriteRule?

Get rid of the final / in the RewriteBase; leave the leading slash in the RewriteRule. Remember, it’s creating a URL with the RewriteBase + the RewriteRule.

Oh... mine is set up the opposite way, and seems to work great, but I’m definitely no expert in URL rewriting

Try clearing the site cache.

no go, cleared browser cache and site cache......

Here’s what mine looks like:

No trailing / in RewriteBase, and no leading slash in RewriteRule.
