    BobRay - thanks for this. It happened a few weeks ago but by the time I found the Forum it had sorted itself out and I could carry on (??) but this time it’s been a couple of hours with no joy.

    I think it’s down to the rewrite and friendly URLs, but I can’t access the /manager/ panel to turn it off ... any ideas please?

    David.
    David,

    To turn off FURLs, rename .htaccess to some other name. Edit assets/cache/siteCache.idx.php and change

    $c['friendly_urls'] = "1";

    to

    $c['friendly_urls'] = "0";


    That change is temporary so be sure to change the FURL setting in Tools | Configuration after you log on.

    TIP: When messing with login code or FURLs, remain in the Manager and log in with another browser for testing. wink

      Thanks ... since you posted this it’s working again, I didn’t touch anything, honest!!

      Think I might try and make do without the FURLs if this is the trouble they cause.

      Ta for help, much appreicated.

        I often have to struggle with getting FURLs to work but, once they do, they’re fine. They’re critical if you care about SEO issues and they also make your error page work.

          Hi guys, I just completed a fresh install of Revolution and attempted friendly URLs to no avail. I have modx installed in domain/demo/modx .

          For some reason it really only works when I set:

          RewriteEngine on
          #RewriteRule /home/sites/domainname.co.uk/public_html/demo/modx

          # The Friendly URLs part
          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
          RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

          notice that the RewriteRule is commented out.....when I uncomment it gives me error 500 ??
          (I know that URL is correct because I use it with other demo CMS installations)

            That shouldn’t be RewriteRule, it should be RewriteBase.
