I made a new folder in my files and visited with the .htaccess file indicated on the mod_rewrite guide, and I have no errors.

It shows me a list of contents / directory, .htaccess file missing.

Index of /n13/test
[ICO] Name Last modified Size Description
[DIR] Parent Directory -

Ok here's a test I just did that will basically confirm if mod_rewrite is working correctly.

In your main www directory create a file called test.php, inside it put this code

Code:


<?php
echo "test success";
?>

then put a .htaccess in the www aswell, and inside that put this code

Code:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* /test.php [L]

Now if you try going to a url that doesn't exist like http://localhost/wadsdsadsa

it should say "test success"

This is good, it means mod-rewrite is working.

Ok can you edit the .htaccess file in the news directory so it has this code

Code:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* /news/index.php [L]

Leave it in the news directory but make a copy of it and put it in the www directory, then try clicking a comment link, can you paste the URL the comment link tries to go to.

It tries to go here:

http://localhost/news/1/0/Welcome-to-N-13-News-3-3.html

It gives me 500 internal server error. At least it's not giving me a 404 :wink:

Ok hopefully this should work. in you www directory, create index.php, inside it put

Code:


<?php
include 'news/index.php';
?>

Edit the .htaccess in www so it looks like

Code:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* /index.php [L]

Now remove the .htaccess file that's in the news directory. Try the comment links now to see if they work.

I think it ends up doing the same thing as before...

Not Found

The requested URL /news/1/0/Welcome-to-N-13-News-3-3.html was not found on this server.
