    hi, how come my site content doesnot display , and it just returns to homepage whereever i click ? it was fine yesterday even after i transferred it to mosso.com but now its acting weird.

    for ex : http://www.veggie123.com/veggie/chapter7/ , it just returns to the homepage.

    or any page of the site.

    thanks so much

    You need to force query strings.

    Try this:

    http://www.veggie123.com/veggie?/chapter4/
    http://www.veggie123.com/veggie?/chapter8/

    See the question mark? Makes all the difference.

    Well, something has changed, perhaps your host did some updates? See “Admin > Output and Debugging Preferences” in the Control Panel.

    Sounds like your system/config.php file isn’t writable.  FTP in, make sure it is chmod 666.  See if the save ‘sticks’ then.

    But yea- sounds like your host has been tweaking things- only reason you’d suddenly need to force query strings.

    Have you actually renamed index.php to veggie, or is that just my assumption? If not, you are removing index.php somehow, and might have to address that rewriting issue separately. Anyway, if it really broke without your doing anything, have a talk with your host.

    Interesting- works with http://www.veggie123.com/index.php/veggie/chapter4/.  What’s ‘veggie’- a template group name or did you make a copy of your index.php file and name it veggie?

    ETA Hee- Ingmar and I are sharing a brain!

    i dont really understand but i have /veggie/ tempate group and thats where the index is

    /veggie/index = the main homepage.

    maybe i did change the .htaccess 1.5 year ago, but i forgot now. how do i make this work then ?

    thanks so much

    my current .htaccess =

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    Try adding a question mark after index.php, like so “index.php?”

    😉  Just glad Ingmar got you squared away.  I was still fuzzy on file names myself!
