Did you rename the ht.access files to .htaccess in the document root and the manager directories?

Hi, I’ve got furls working fine, however how can I set it up so child documents have the url: /site/alias-of-parent-document/alias-of-child-document ?

Tools => Cofiguration => Friendly URL’s => Use friendly alias path: Yes
Should do it

I’ve never seen this one before.

This is in Revolution on a remote site. When I turn on FURLs, all my links are completely blank (i.e. <a href="[[~2]]"> becomes <a href="">. It’s the same for the Wayfinder menus. Wayfinder lists the menu title, but the links are blank.

I have the core moved and the manager folder renamed so it might be a side effect of that, but the parser is parsing the snippet and chunk tags properly and everything works fine with FURLs off.

I’m baffled.

Anybody? I’m getting nowhere with this.

What would make Revo render link tags properly with FURLs off but render tham as empty with FURLs on?

Just a small suggestion try to use "index.php?q=" (or index.php?page= etc.) as prefix for FURL
and test it now. I think I’ve seen this happen (evo) and by adding the prefix initial its been _activated_ ?¿
Then later I could remove it...

FYI, prefix and suffix are no longer used in Revolution, except for the purpose of migration from 0.9.x/Evo sites. And that index.php?q= prefix has not been a valid use of prefix since 0.9.1 or 0.9.2 if I remember correctly.

I’m having trouble trying to get Friendly URL’s to work and need some help.
Ive done the settings in the manager to use the document alias with .php on the end,
uploaded the .htaccess file
the site is located at http://75.125.162.122/~noaahorg/
and the .htaccess looks like this.

#Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Fix Apache internal dummy connections from breaking [(site_url)] cache
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*internal\ dummy\ connection.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

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

I’ve checked with our web hosting company and they have said that the httpd.conf is set correctly to allow redirects. Any help in getting the friendly urls to work would be appreciated. I’ve looked at the previous posts and have tried the suggestions that many have posted but have had no luck.
