PHP LD question

Hi,

I recently installed php link directory

and I enabled URL rewrite

But, than the categories are not working, an error page is showing up.

What is wrong? Do I need to upload a .htaccess file ?? and what must be in the file ??

help is much appreciated !!

First you need to set .htaccess for your website

contact your webhost and turn on .htaccess

 

it is enabled. But what do I have to do to make it work ?

 

What error page shows up please provide link, also does it show up when u disable rewrite mode?

 

when i disable it.. it is allright.. the page is showing up.. but when i enable it.. there is a error / cannot find page..

 

Post your error page here so we can possibly see what the fault is.

 

just the normal error when a page is not found:

Not Found
The requested URL /art/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

What do i have to do ?? I think put something in my .htacces

but what??? someone knows? ?

 

Are you putting the directory script into a subfolder of your site domain?

 

just the site domain

 

That usually doesnt effect much.

Here is what my htaccess says :

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

Code (markup):

 

If you haven't uploaded yet, You must upload it.

 

ummm yea

root of directory's folder

 

I have a .htaccess file uploaded

but a empty one i guess.. i need the lines to get this working.

I will try that paidhosting

 

Thank You Very Much Paidhosting

it is working now _o_

 

Yayyy...It feels god to see other people getting the help they need in such a timely fashion..Sorry my little bit of phpld experience didn't help right of the bat.

Happy Motoring!!!

 

no problem sfod, thanks to you also

 

Good to see you got it working, and great to see people helped you.

 

except for the fact that if that is all he put in the .htaccess then there is a lot of other missing entires which nobody else has been kind enough to mention, and one of the reasons why problems arise often.

 

Yaa no problem thats why i am here for .

Regards

 

ahhh i have a small doubt.
what is this .htaccess file really used for???
