pretty urls problem

Permalink 3 users found helpful
Hi - I am on version 8.4.1
Just checked the pretty urls box in the dashboard and was given this code to add to the .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Now I am getting a 504 error trying to access the site, and can't access the dashboard either.
I have seen some other threads that suggest editing application / config / generated_overrides / site.php and concrete.php but I'm not sure what to do to get back into the dashboard, can someone please help?

could you check that on the server, the file application/config/generated_overrides/concrete.php has the key "url_rewriting" and is set to true?
So the file will have an array fo keys and values like this
<?php
/**
 * -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Generated 2019-01-08T08:46:53+00:00
 *
 * DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE DIRECTLY
 *
 * @item      seo.url_rewriting
 * @group     concrete
 * @namespace null
 * -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 */
return [
    'version_installed' => '8.4.2',
    'version_db_installed' => '20180716000000',
Viewing 15 lines of 30 lines. View entire code block.

I simplified this one and yours might be in a different order and will have differences but you can see url_rewriting at the bottom.
If you have it set to false, set it to true. If you don't have it, add it as it is in my example (as a key of the "seo" array) and set it to true
