Hi There,

In installed the latest version of modx revolution however i have a strange issue. I was playing around with the .htaccess trying to get friendly urls to work and now when you go to the domain it displays like this www.domain.com/public_html/public_html/public_html/public_html/public_html/public_html/public_html/public_html/public_html/ and on and on

Modx is installed in my root directory with the .htaccess above.

Any ideas? I've posted the .htaccess below

# Friendly URLs Part
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
# Force all pages to go to www.mydomain.com for SEO
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.DOMAINNAME\.TLD [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# Friendly URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
# Additional Settings Follow
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000
ExpiresByType image/png A2592000
BrowserMatch "MSIE" brokenvary=1
BrowserMatch "Mozilla/4.[0-9]{2}" brokenvary=1
BrowserMatch "Opera" !brokenvary
SetEnvIf brokenvary 1 force-no-vary

For some reason it's adding a <a href=""> into the code...not sure why...this isnt actually in the .htaccess file

That's just the Forum software mangling your code. wink

Here's some of the original code for reference (one extra space after the http to fool the Forum software). I don't see anything wrong with your code, but I'd try taking out the '# Force all pages' comment or moving it so it's not in the middle of a compound line.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /



#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example-domain-please-change\.com [NC]
#RewriteRule (.*) http: //www.example-domain-please-change.com/$1 [R=301,L]


# The Friendly URLs part
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
