In the admin, there is a spot where you can set "Enable URL rewrite" to either yes or no. Choose yes. And that's it. Nothing complicated at all.
Oh, ok. Well, I can't really expalin it well. But check out this site. It's got all the information you would ever want on mod rewrite: http://forum.modrewrite.com Cheers.
hey vic, could you elaborate on your question? It will help us figure out the issue, and answer you. (if we can) Is the url rewrite not working for you? Or the htacess that came with the directory causing errors, what version of phpLD are you running, etc.
no problems i am in need of mod_rewrote for another script for example phpLD without mod_rewrite produces links like index.php?cid=some number but with mod_rewrite it produces SEF urls one of my script produces links like showcats.php?sbcat_id=something number i want to change this into a SEF url similar to phpLD my site http://www.centraldirectory.net/
i have found out one thing phpLD does not produce SEF url with the help of .htaccess but with index.php file
Yes, mod rewrite usually involves both php and htaccess, so some programming knowledge is helpful if you are wanting to dynamically change all your urls.
