Friendly URLs Not Working

Greetings,
I know this has been an ongoing topic in the forums. I've ready most of the recent posts on this but nothing is helping. Here's my situation:

I am using the latest version of Revo. I am using the default .htaccess file and tried it with the rewritebase with the default and with the folder name. I sent the friendly URLs page to enable friendly URLs and Alias URLs.

My server is loading the rewrite module as I checked the PHP info settings.

When I clear the cache then preview the site. I see the friendly URLs such as www.mysite.com/peavey/music.html However, when I try to go to the page, I get a 404 server not found error.

This is extremely frustrating because Modx claims to be SEO friendly out of the box and I'm not happy about this.

If someone could help shed some like on this, please help.

Thanks.
Matt

I don't see where the problem is. Both systems are as SEO friendly as the user makes them. MODX simply offer tools that can be used well for SEO websites, but you must follow instructions to the "T".

I am not a full blown Revo user, I am still testing it but to date no problems with FURLs.

Evo users have had similar problems in the past.

Through my experience, 9/10 times when FURLs don't work it is not a problem caused by MODX, it's more than likely one of the following:

• The .htaccess file hasn't been modified correctly
• The users server doesn't support the rules in the .htaccess file
• modrewrite isn't available on the host server

Make sure you have this in the head section of all templates:

Make sure you have this in the head section of all templates:

<base href="[[++site_url]]">

I already have it in my templates.

I am just using the stock .htaccess file. Does something need to be changed according to my server?

This solved my problems. I found it in a tutorial for DigitalOcean

<Directory "/var/www/sqworl.com/public_html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

I enetered that into my default config file and it works perfect now.

Thanks for all of your help.
