  Interesting... it appears that this is not working for me (0.9.5 build) In fact, when I enable alias path, NONE of my alias’ documents work. Help!

  @pixelchutes: What does your .htaccess look like?
  
  It’s working great with MODx SVN rev 2165 and lighttpd.

  Hmm...I’ll grab a fresh SVN now and let you know...

  So, I’m now running
  
  

  MODx version  	   	0.9.5.1
  Version codename 	  	rev 2220
  

  
  ...and it sort of works... Why are my URLs placing /1/ after my domain???
  
  Works, but why the /1/ http://www.pixelchutes.com/1/portfolio/child
  
  Doesn’t work, but is desired format http://www.pixelchutes.com/portfolio/child
  
  NOTE: I noticed the /1/ before I installed the SVN, but didn’t think much of it. In other words, nothing has changed from 0.9.5 to SVN rev 2220 as far as what I’m experiencing is involved. I just didn’t test /1/portfolio/child till after SVN was in place
  
  Where is /1/ coming from? How can I get it to work as desired...? Anyone seen this one before?

  Maybe I’ve missed a really important thread, or there’s something in the works, but is there a solution yet for MODx aliasing w/ directories?
  
  e.g.
  
  
  
  

  
  Ok, stupid me. Long story short, you see that image up there? Notice anything??
  
  Yeah, for some reason I thought it’d be cool to place all of my website files into a container called, "Website" (How original!)
  
  So, yeah, it didn’t have an alias, which explains the /1/... alias path did warn of use resulting in "Absolute Path" ...now I finally understand where it was referring to
  
  Fixed. http://www.pixelchutes.com/portfolio/child

  I have a strange problem with FURL and modX. My host ist 1&1.
  Everything works fine, except 1 Problem: When I type a nonexistent directory as URL, I will be redirected to the custom 404-Error-Site, but all Links contain the nonexistent directory in the URL then (also css-styles doesn´t work because of false URL).
  Examples of my site:
  - This works as intended (xyz.html doesn´t exist): http://www.cosinex.de/xyz.html
  - This doesn´t work: http://www.cosinex.de/xyz/
  - This doesn´t work: http://www.cosinex.de/xyz/xyz.html
  
  I spent hours with mod_rewrite-codes, but nothing except RedirectMatch works.
  This is the code in the htaccess-File:
  
  

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
  
  RedirectMatch  permanent  ^/cms/  http://www.cosinex.de/

  
  
  
  These are the Settings in my ModX Friendly URL Settings Panel:
  
  Use friendsly URL: Yes
  Prefix: [Blank]
  Suffix: .html
  Use friendly Alias: Yes
  Use friend paths: No
  Allow duplicates: No
  Automatically Generate: Yes
  
  
  Friend Paths "Yes" doesn´t make a difference.
  I use ModX 0.9.5.
  
  What might help, would be to define the URL of the 404-Error-Dokument somewhere in the modX-Backend with absolute paths and not with relative ones.
  Or there is a special regex-variable like
  

  RedirectMatch  permanent  ^/$/  http://www.cosinex.de/404.html

  
  for redirecting all non-existent directories to the 404-Site with the valid URL.
  
  I would appreciate any comments on this issue.

  groooo, <base href="[(site_url)]" /> in your templates before any relative paths will solve this.

  It works! Additionally I changed the css-Link in an absolute Path, so everything works now. Thank you for your fast support. I enjoy modX a lot!

  RewriteEngine On
  
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  
  # If your MODx installation is in a subdirectory, change the following line to match the physical
  # path to the "root" of the site as follows:
  # RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /path/to/subdirectory/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
  
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
  
  For these to work, I need webspace where mod_rewrite will work? I’ve been trying for a few hours unsuccessfully. After using Google, it would appear that my webspace doesnt offer this and everyone has similar problems, no matter what CMS they use.
  
  Thanks for any insight.

  The simple solution was to change my webhost and I got it working in about 30 secs.

  Hi everyone,
  I’ve got the most annoying and weird error at one of my MODx installations with Friendly URLs: the URL is correctly re-written as http://mysite.br/directory/archive.html but the web server tries to retrieve http://mysite.br/directory.html/archive.html
  What am I doing wrong? Maybe something within the configuration of the mod_rewrite?
  I have already declared a base_url but did no good. The error seems to be happening somewhere else.
  
  My .htaccess has these lines:
  
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /~userdir
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
  
  
  Thanks in advance!
