[SOLVED] Mod_Rewrite Help Please

Hello

I am new to MODx but already heavy into it!!!

I need some assistance with mod_rewrite please. I have my own dedicated server with many domains that use mod_rewrite that have WordPress installs and all works great... No problems with mod_rewrite on any of these WordPress domains but...

I cannot get mod_rewrite to work on the MODx install. I have even re-installed from scratch a few times and still the same results.

I have tried varied combinations and still nothing. Can someone please assist me in this

Here are the contents of my .htaccess files...

[MODx]
------------------------------------------

Addhandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html .php
php_flag allow_url_fopen on

php_flag zlib.output_compression On
php_value zlib.output_compression_level 5

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


[WordPress]
------------------------------------------

Addhandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html .php
php_flag allow_url_fopen on
IndexIgnore *
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

------------------------------------------

Sincerely,

try commenting out the zlib lines. Those can cause trouble if your server configruation doesn’t allow it.

I did rem the zlib lines and still the same results

thanks.

Funny... I never had problems with rewrite rules either on shared hosting or dedicated...
Which Apache version ?

Question : did you try it with MODx default .htaccess ?

Not sure about this line

php_flag allow_url_fopen on

Plus, last I heard it’s not the safest directive to add to your .htaccess, and MODx, contrary to WordPress, doesn’t need it...

Yes - I used the default .htaccess too - just switched back again now

same results

currently Apache/1.3.29

Nor is it necessary to set the PHP handler to process html/htm files. Usually not real good on the performance if you are serving any plain HTML along with your PHP site.

You might also try adding the RewriteBase / line before the conditions and making the rule point at /index.php...

Also, what is the response, or not working about it...?

Here is all I have in my .htaccess now with same results

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

What is the result?

The results are that it didn’t work

Is there anything in MODx that I need to do or should mod_rewrite take care of creating friendly URL’s?

As example, in WordPress I have to modify the permalink structure before mod_rewrite works. Anything like that in MODx that I need to do?

Regards,

Ken

when you say "don’t work", how does it not work? are there any errors or debug messages if you turn debug on?

Also, try doing this without your WP rewrite rules in place. It looks to me like they’re conflicting with your modx rewrite rules.
