Friendly URLS problem - please help

Hey all this is my first post and first time using modxcms as I’m looking for a cms system to use for my clients and myself, If i can fix this problem then I will most likely use modxcms as its very good!

But my problem is I cant make the urls friendly can you guys please help.

.htaccess
# For full documentation and other suggested options, please see
# http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/MODx096/Friendly+URL+Solutions
# including for unexpected logouts in multi-server/cloud environments
# Ariaane note- It seems that exluding the wwww makes no difference to site acccess- still must type in wwww.noname etc to access site...

Hi NerdyDesigner,

welcome to MODx

if your installation is in a subdirectory, change that part accordingly:



+ clear the MODx-cache!

Hey sharkbait,

Thanks for the welcome

I done what you said but it still don’t seem to like it, I changed RewriteBase / to RewriteBase /cms

mod_rewrite is enabled on your server? did you clear the MODx-cache in the manager ( and browser cache maybe too )

Still nothing, and mod_rewrite is enabled on my server, Under friendly urls should everything be yes?

hmmm...your settings actually seem to be right ( you cleared the MODx-cache, right? sorry when i keep asking that )

Yes, still nothing at all

Problem solved, I did the .htaccess wrong lol

Thanks again sharkbait

great i was just about to post -> was it this part -> "etc to access site..." being not commented out?

Replaced with this

# For unexpected logouts in multi-server/cloud environments see:

RewriteBase /cms
