    Hi

    Have been trying to usr the Friendly url setting... as usual i get the 404 error page (the site works fine without Friendly url turned on)

    Yes, I have tried the whole forum... read through anything in the forum related to Friendly url.. well cant get it to work...

    these are my configuration
    MODx-095rc3-rev2066
    Apache 2.0.55
    PHP 5.1.6
    MySQL 5.0.24
    OS: Ubuntu (Edgy Eft)

    I have installed modx as directory inside /var/www/

    So i guess the configuration for .htaccess should be 

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


    For the configuration on the Friendly url page.... i have tried different combination.... still not working

    Hmm ya my apache2 mod_rewrite is set to ON

    well i would really appreciate if someone would point me to the right direction

    Well modx rocks (except for FRUL’s apart)

    Thanks in Advance

      Don’t duplicate /modx on 2 lines.

      btw: MODx rocks! with FURL’s! tongue

        hi zi

        Thanks for replying

        I have corrected .htaccess as you said

        still 404 not found

        FRUL configuration

Use friendly URL                           : Yes
Prefix for friendly URL                   : Blank
Suffix for friendly URL                   : .html
Use friendly Aliases                      : Yes
Use friendly Aliases Path              : Yes
Allow Duplicate Alias                    : No
Automatically generate Aliases   : No


        huh

        btw : Its the best CMS I have used.... I am in control not the CMS ...thats what i want grin

          What error message is showing up in your browser, and did you actually rename the file from ht.access -> .htaccess (silly I know but had to ask).

            Thanks rthrash for replying

            Renaming the file from ht.access to .htaccess was the first thing I did after installation

            I do get the main page by going to
            http://localhost/modx/(aliasname).html where aliasname is the alias for each page
            but once i click on the navigation links.. this is the error that i get 

            Not Found

The requested URL /modx/(alias name).html was not found on this server.

              It seems that Apache mod_rewrite is not enabled, what package are you using? XAMPP?

              If XAMPP, search for mod_rewrite in /xampp/apache/conf/httpd.cnf , the line (may be) looks like:
              #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

              Change it to:
              LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

              Hope it helps.

              regards.

                Yes i have checked the mod_rewrite... its loaded

                just look at the apache2 handler from the System info (php info)page of modx


                                 apache2handler

                                    mod_userdir mod_vhost_alias


                It says its loaded.......
