Hi, I’m experiencing issues with my htaccess configuration using the standard ‘File and Directory Check’ method to remove index.php:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

I have a standard template group ‘home’ with this simple index template:

{if segment_1 =="whatever"}
    whatever
{if:else}
    homepage
{/if}

Basically, using any other segment_1 than ‘home’ results in a ‘Status: 404 Page Not Found’.

On top of that, even stranger, when I visit http://www.mydomain.com, the ‘www’ is cut from the url and I’m shown the ‘System Offline’ page, even though I’m logged in as super admin. This actually happens with and without a htaccess file in place.

Is this a server issue? Could upgrading to 2.2 fix this? I’m using 2.1.3 b20110411

Fixed, had to set ‘Enable Strict URLs’ to ‘no’ in Global Template Preferences.

bobh,

I’m going to close out this thread as it appears you have resolved it. If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to start another.
