the Links don't work

Hi there.

I’ve just started using MODx and I’ve posted a test blog post but when I try to access any pages, besides the home page, it routes me to the home page. I’ve tried cleaning the cache but being a newb to this stuff (not CMS, but MODx) I haven’t a clue what the problem is. my websites is http://www.gobbob.com
I’ve enabled friendly URLs using the tutorial.

Are your other pages published?

What are your friendly URL settings? Did you rename the ht.access file to ".htaccess"?

Does it work without Friendly URLs being on?

What are your friendly URL settings?
Prefix for friendly URLs: index.php?page=
Suffix for friendly URLs: .html
Use friendly aliases: Yes
Use friendly alias path: No
Allow duplicate aliases: No
Automatically generate alias: No

Did you rename the ht.access file to ".htaccess"?
Yes

Does it work without Friendly URLs being on?
Yes

"index.php?page=" as your prefix? Friendly URLs replace the "index.php?id=xxx" with whatever you put for the alias. For example, all of my pages have no alias prefix, and html as the suffix. So I get "mysite.com/home.html", "mysite.com/contact.html", etc.

I suspect that you thought you were changing the ?id= or the ?q= part.

Try nuking the prefix bit and see if you’re more happy with the outcome indeed. I suspect the "index.php?page=" is confusing the heck out of it!

Prefix for friendly URLs: page
Suffix for friendly URLs: (None)
Use friendly aliases: Yes
Use friendly alias path: Yes
Allow duplicate aliases: Yes
Automatically generate alias: No

Still not working...

Hi,

I just tried something:
The menu links to http://www.gobbob.com/templates/pagemodxcss_wide which doesn’t work at the moment.
If you add index.php?q= like this: http://www.gobbob.com/index.php?q=templates/pagemodxcss_wide you get the desired page.

The addition of index.php?q= should be done by .htaccess. I’m not sure where it goes wrong, but if you post your .htaccess file maybe somebody can help.
