Pretty URLS

Permalink
What particular magic is required to make these work? I've been through the forums and tried all the varies fixes but none of them work. I've enabled mod_rewite logging and it doesn't show any errors, I've watched the httpd error log and there's nothing but all my pages apart from my home page are 404.

Are you with GoDaddy perhaps?

If so, I would recommend moving your site to a different host (I'm not kidding).

Have a read:

I read that message but no, I'm using my own dedicated server. I've fiddled with every option I can think of in Apache to no avail.

Surely there must be a recommended config for Apache for Concrete 5?

How about a .htaccess that actually works?

Before turning on Pretty URL's, a blank .htaccess works for me and then I let concrete5 populate it when I flip on Pretty URL's in the dashboard.

For local development, I use a 'Uniform Server':

http://www.uniformserver.com/

Fire it up and it just works.

This is a live public facing web server. Every other site (Not Concrete 5) works just fine. I'm not convinced a blank .htaccess populated by Concrete 5 would be any different from a blank .htaccess populated by hand with the correct info.

It's extremely frustrating as I love my site on concrete 5 but this problem with pretty URLS seems to have plagued this particular CMS system since 2008. I've had this site up for 2 years and I've never got it to work with pretty URLS. It was originally a test to see if concrete was a viable alternative for the other CMS system I use but so far it's proven to be a complete failure :-(
