Hi Jordan,

see here -> http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Friendly_URLs_Guide

thanks sharkbait...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /modx
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

the above example shows modx installed into another folder - my site is in the root folder?

Hi,

You just need to change this line:

RewriteBase /modx

to

RewriteBase

Aaron, Shouldn’t that be RewriteBase / ?

On a Windows Server running IIS just having the following works fine.

RewriteBase

However David is correct on Linux you may need to add / to the end of the line.

Thanks Aaron

thanks guys,

i have gone thru the guide and still doesn’t delete the ’index.php?q’

I have tested that the htaccess file and it’s being read by the server.

not sure what to try now.

thanks again for your time.

Did you turn on Friendly URLs in Tools | Configuration?

Did you clear the site cache and your browser cache?

yeah turned on friendly urls from the tools menu
but didn’t clear site cache or browser cache - will give it a go
