Hello

I’m sorry, I can’t see what I do wrong.
I enter this in my terminal for activate the url rewriting module:

$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
This module is already enabled!

Restart Apache : Ok.
Go in manager and activate these options:

Use friendly URLs: Y
Prefix for friendly URLs:
Suffix for friendly URLs: .html
Use friendly aliases: Y
Use friendly alias path: Y
Allow duplicate aliases: N
Automatically generate alias: N

Save: Ok.
Let’s rename de ht.access in .htaccess in the sub-directory /var/www/modx921/ where I have install MODx : OK.
Edit the .htaccess:

# php_flag zlib.output_compression On
# php_value zlib.output_compression_level 5

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /modx921/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

In the virtualhost I had define for /var/www/modx921 to http://modx921.com/ : Ok.
http://modx921.com/contact-us.html : Internal Server Error. The same for all the url rewrited.

Could you help me please?

Make sure Apache has the proper permissions to "allow overrides" in your virtual directory configuration, otherwise, it will not be able to handle the .htaccess directives.

Shouldn’t it just return a 404/Not Found if mod_rewrite is installed but AllowOverride is not active? I always had the 404 error in this case on several servers.

AFAIK, the server returns a 500/Internal Server Error when something is not correct in the .htaccess file or a command is not supported.

@tupolev
You need this in your httpd.conf file:

<Directory "/var/www/modx921">
   AllowOverride All

   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

Later Edit: You can use the apache-get-modules PHP function for an additional modules test.

@Boby : hello
In my /etc/apache2/sites-available/ I have create a modx921.conf and activate with a a2ensite modx921.conf
Then: /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Here is my modx921.conf

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.2:8080>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    	DocumentRoot    /var/www/modx921
    	ServerName    modx921.com
<Directory "/var/www/modx921">
		Options FollowSymLinks
		AllowOverride All

		Order allow,deny
		Allow from all
</Directory>
	ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
</VirtualHost>

error.log for Apache:

[error] [client 192.168.0.2] mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use 'RewriteOptions MaxRedirects' to increase the limit if neccessary., referer: http://modx921.com/

And now I must see where please? Sorry.

Maybe the default maxredirects value was set zero or one.

You can try following in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions maxredirect=10

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /modx921/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

If you still have the error, increase the value of:

RewriteOptions maxredirect=10

I also think you need to remove the modx921 folder of your rewrite rule because this is your DocumentRoot and not a subfolder of it (maybe I am wrong)

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

@Boby: wow!! Houra, you have true!

In my .htaccess I only changed this line:

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

Topic solved for me but I don’t modify the subjet if someone has any idea for your question, Boby. Or you repost in another?

Thanks a lot and have a nice day all.
