Thread

I’ve just moved a 1.6.9 site developed locally and working perfectly in MAMP to a new hosting account. I can see the site and access the control panel no problem but no matter what I do I cannot view any other pages - the correct URL’s display but just show the homepage template for all;

http://www.contactfirst.com.au

I’ve tried this with/without the .htaccess file with no difference

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(images|cfadmin|site_images|css|js|flash|themes|index\.php|admin\.php) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Help!

Have you resolved this issue? I checked your site and it seems as though you may have fixed this problem.

Robert - after wasting most of today on this, I figured my host doesn’t support URL segments so I’ve turned on force query strings.

The only problem is now I can’t get it all working to remove index.php?  Its working on some pages but not others. For example - all main pages are ok except where you click a link which is generated dynamically - or perform a search etc - then the ‘?’ gets inserted and it doesnt work - take the ‘?’ out and it works but I can’t seem to get this working in my .htaccess

Can you offer any suggestions?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(images|cfadmin|site_images|css|js|flash|themes|index\.php?|admin\.php) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

I don’t know what’s going to work for you situation. It’s generally a bit of trial and error until you find a solution. My suggestions is to remove the ? from index.php in the RewriteCond but keep it in the RewriteRule.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(images|cfadmin|site_images|css|js|flash|themes|index\.php|admin\.php) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

Can’t get it working reliably. Going to have to go back to having the index.php :(

I’ve got most of the site working albeit with index.php? but the only thing I cant seem to resolve is that Pages Module pages when searched are going to index.php (no ‘?’ and hence not working…)  Any ideas how I can fix this?

OK, got it working right without index.php? using this:

Thankfully had my templates saving revisions…

Damien, glad you are up and running again. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions
