Pretty URLs Generating a 404 - Help pls!

Permalink
Hello - I'm building my first site with Concrete5 but have run into problems re-writing the URLs with Pretty URLs.

I have enabled Pretty URLs and added the required code to .htaccess. When I click on the navbar links I get a 404 not found error.

The URL appears as:
http://www.jwgconsulting.com/concrete5/about/...
and generates the 404.

Adding index.php to the URL works:
http://www.jwgconsulting.com/concrete5/index.php/about/...

I truly appreciate any help! I'm using C5 Version
5.4.1.1 with Apache and PHP 5.2.17.

Thanks :)

Dan

I'd look around the installation help forum for .htaccess tweaks. Some hosts require a slightly different rule set in order to perform the redirect successfully.

I have the same problem too, did all and everything my host told me and other users told me to do.
I didn´t get it resolved, so I reported a bug.
Still nothing is happening.
Maybe you could also report a bug. If all these users here reported the pretty url bug, then maybe someone would solve it.

I don't believe it is a C5 bug. It is most likely an webserver/php configuration issue. I have had issues many times with "pretty URLS" and the resolution allway turned out to be a configuation problem either on your side or your web host's side.

I see the first link has /concrete5/about/ in it.
Should that not be /about/
I am a little unsure why there is a concrete5 in the URL at all unless that is the directory you have it in. The file structure is probably the cause of the problem.

Good catch Madeforspace. I would bet you need a
RewriteBase /concrete5/
in your .htaccess file.

nteaviation code suggestion sounds like a good one to me, let us know how you get on.

Thanks, the site is in the /concrete5/ directory. Adding that into RewriteBase doesn't help. :(

I've confirmed rewriting is enabled. Thinking now it may be the regexp - I see from other posts some hosts have a problem with this line: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Appreciate any other ideas - thanks all
