Phpld Url rewrite help needed!

    Ive been trying to make my site seo friendly by turning on the URL rewrite,
    but when its turned, you cannot click on categories, it just brings you to a server page. The url rewrite redirects me to a server page when clicking on a category.

    Ive tried enabling this in htaccess but when i upload the htaccess file the whole site switches off and gives me an internal server error instead and cant even access the site.

    If you can offer any help it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
    J.C

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    ## Details Link Page Rewrite##
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    sounds like a .htaccess issue (although I could be wrong as I only installed phpld yesterday) but I have had similar things happen with subdreamer and phpbb2 when trying to use seo friendly links without a .htaccess file.

    Who is your hosting?

    also try this:

    in your link.tpl find the line like:

    this:
    {$smarty.const.DOC_ROOT}/detail/link-{$link.ID}.html{/if}

    change it to something like:

    this:
    {$smarty.const.DOC_ROOT}/link-detail/link-{$link.ID}.html{/if}

    I had some .htaccess issues with one of my hosting providers as well. It worked out ok after talking to their support. So I think you should check with your hosting provider.

    I checked in the link.tpl file but did not find the line: {$smarty.const.DOC_ROOT}/detail/link-{$link.ID}.html{/if}

    I searched high and low and used find, but did not find the line.

    If it helps im using phpld v2.1
