Is 'prefix :' same as script location off public-html ?
Is 'directory filename' same as the page in which news story is published ?
Is there a help page for setting up Friendly URLs ?
What do you do if you already have an index.php in public html ?

The friendly URL settings can be absolutely anything, it doesn't matter what you set them too.

The only thing you need to do is edit the .htaccess file. (might be called htaccess.htaccess, if so rename it to .htaccess)

Code:


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

Change the /news/index.php to the page where you're including your news into, so for example it might be

Code:


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