    Hi,

    I've just installed RHE 5 and have setup a website running PHPLD. the url rewrite is working as it's changing all the urls to SEO friendly names, but when you click on those links you get a "page cannot be found" error message.

    Does anyone know how I can go about getting this problem resolved?

    Regards,
    Gerald.

    That is exactly what you will get when mod_rewrite is not working on your server.

    How did you verify that mod_rewrite is working for you ?

    I don't know how to 'verify' its working ... I thought because the links had changed to proper SEO links it was because of the rewrite, but now I know it's because of the configuration in PHPLD .. nothing to do with the rewrite. :(

    So the question remains, how do I get Apache to read and use the information in the .htaccess file ?? I thought this would have been configured by default?? :confused:

    Thanks,
    Gerald.
