Lot’s of possibilities; please try searching on terms like SEO, SEF, FURL, search engine friendly, .htaccess or similar terms to find a multitude of threads on this subject -- might try starting off here:

yes, we found the same problem - so turned them back off again

It should work. I have hosted MODx on 5 differents hosting service with no problem whatsoever...

Two questions here :

1) Did you check the path is right in your htaccess rules ? (some hosting service need you to add ReWriteBase / )
2) did you check your server support zlib ? If not might be nice to comment out the zlib directives in MODx .htaccess

Of course, since you say you have all requirements, I imagine you checked you have mod_rewrite enabled...

ok I got mine working finally, curious about the full path alias option,

if we have an unpublished folder as the root that contains a published folder that contains the docs will the path displayed included the unpublished folder ?

ie

general folder <-unpublished - - published -> /main folder/document 1, 2, 3, etc

That sounds like a great case for a quick test and it’d be nice to have a report of the results.

We got it working, none of the above - I’ll write about it when I get a moment

Hi as a relative newb working off a reseller account, could someone please give specific instructions on how to access the httpd.conf file that was talked about in that linked thread, or how to do that rewriteBase thing. Or how to turn on mod_rewrite (or even check if it is turned on).

Right now my htaccess reads

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /ajax/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

Which should be right according to instructions. Thanks in advance.

Is your file named ".htacccess" without the quotes? The period in the front of the name is the key to it working.

Yes of coure. Lol.
