[eyefox]

Hi

I'm using Godaddy Linux Hosting for my wallpaper site

I got script from W-Script, this is a awesome script, but when I enable mod_rewrite, it just work 99%.

here is my .htaccess

DirectoryIndex index.php
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|install|img|images|scripts|fonts|uploads|css|js|robots\.txt|sitemap\.xml|favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule (.*)-(.*)\.html$ wallpapers/show/$2
RewriteRule (.*)-(.*)/$ categories/show/$2

This .htaccess work well on my posts,tags

But with Categories it didn't work.The browser gave me long response and error message !


I follow the article on W-script about Godaddy hosting but it also don't work either
[w-script.com ]

So, I need help to solve this problem !

Thank you for advanced
Hieu

Did you also edit the config.php file as mentioned in the W-script docs you linked to?

Have you checked your log files for errors?

here is my .htaccess

DirectoryIndex index.php
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|install|img|images|scripts|fonts|uploads|css|js|robots\.txt|sitemap\.xml|favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule (.*)-(.*)\.html$ wallpapers/show/$2
RewriteRule (.*)-(.*)/$ categories/show/$2

... and that's why people will always tell you to leave a blank line after each Rule, and to annotate each one. It's important to see where each Condition-plus-Rule package ends and the next one begins-- and to know what each one is intended to do. Here you have four Rules.

# Rule 1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [L]

"If the request is for any nonexistent file, serve content from the index.php file, using the requested filename as parameter." Since the Rule doesn't exclude images, css, javascript etc, this package will slow your server to a crawl.

# Rule 2
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L]

"If there is a null request, serve content from index.php". This rule is simply unnecessary, because mod_dir will do the same thing. That's its job.

# Rule 3
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|install|img|images|scripts|fonts|uploads|css|js|robots\.txt|sitemap\.xml|favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule (.*)-(.*)\.html$ wallpapers/show/$2

Oh, lordy, this one looks familiar ;) "If the request contains one or more hyphens and ends in .html, then if the part before the hyphen does not begin with {long string of stuff} then serve content from 'wallpapers/show/{stuff, if any, after the final hyphen} and continue to the next Rule."

# Rule 4
RewriteRule (.*)-(.*)/$ categories/show/$2
"Same as above, without conditions, because this version applies only to requests for directories. Again, continue to the next Rule, if there is one."

99% working? I'm impressed. I would have guessed 67%. The most glaring problem is the lack of [L] flags after rules 3 and 4, but there are undoubtedly others.
