Looks simple enough, but I’m scared.
curenlty have a ht.access file in the modx root.
This is my root: /serverstuff/blah/blah/myaccount/
File manager says: /serverstuff/blah/blah/myaccount/modx2/
Interface & Features says: /serverstuff/blah/blah/myaccount/modx2/assets/ (same thing except adds assets dir)
According to the Wiki,
http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Friendly_URLs_Guide, if I installed it into a folder, I should add do the following:
4.If you use pre 0.9.5 MODx add the following setting to the .htaccess file:
1.RewriteBase / if MODx is installed to the site root
2.RewriteBase /folder if MODx is installed in to a subfolder called "folder"
5.If you have installed MODx in to a subfolder you may also need to do the following change:
1.change RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA] into RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /folder/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
But if I can point www.mysite.com directly to the /modx sub-directory (from the hosts "domain pointing manager thing", I should leave out the folder name right?
I’m not too familiar with "waht happens" and how the .htaccess file impacts your site when you click on "use firendly URL’s." I have used Drupal and Joomla in the past. Drupal works perfectly fine with friendly’s, but I got some errors with Joomla. In drupal I just clicked on the button durring the install/configuration and it worked. With Joomla, I created pages and content then decided to change to friendly urls.
That’s kind of why I’m scared of chaning to friendly URLs now that I have content in modx. If I have links using [~id~] will I need to change those to the alias? or will it automatically find the appropriate alias?
Below are the contents of my file.
