@cheesypoof,

I tested using +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch instead of +FollowSymLinks on @diverso's server but it resulted in the same '500 Internal Server Error'.

Your thoughts?

[cheesypoof]

That's unfortunate...

I don't have much insight to provide here. There appears to be one relevant case on the forum which relates to HostMonster restrictions (https://my.hostmonster.com/cgi/help/htaccess#joomla) - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7238&p=9912#p9912. I have only read a smattering of the Drupal issue comments, but if they commit the change, I think it should be safe to follow (see their patch).

Thanks.

Instead of deleting the first line completely, I had to change it to the following and it worked -

Options -MultiViews

The CSS links are all broken but that is another matter (please use absolute paths as described in the docs).

ok thank you, I'll test tomorrow and let you know, it's very late here now

Still problems here, the function is messing up all my css not sure why, adding absolute links doesn't help, how can I solve the issue?

Please use FireBug or Chrome dev tools to see which CSS resources fail to load.
Study the URL being used to access those resources and compare then with their actual locations.
Make changes to your code accordingly.

This, to be fair, is completely a frontend issue and you'll have to debug it as such.

hi, I'm not referring to failing to load the css, but the css being messed up by the feature, not sure what is happening, but when I enable the pretty url it breaks the css.

Why is this happening? How can I solve this?

The css is being messed up because the CSS file could not be loaded.

not sure what is happening

What is happening is that once you turn on prettyURLs all relative links break because e.g.
what was originally http://www.yoursite.com/about.php now becomes http://www.yoursite.com/about/. Notice how now it appears as if we have a folder named 'about'.

So something like the following two which worked well before will now try to fetch the css and js file from a non-existent folder named 'about' -

Code: Select all

<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/css/about.1067969246.css" id="main-styles" />
<script src="dist/js/about.2147483647.js"></script>

I think you can see that the situation can be fixed by making those links absolute.

Incidentally, the links mentioned above have been taken from your actual site's 'about' page.
I simply had to right click in Chrome and select 'Inspect element' to open the dev tools tab that clearly showed that two resources could not be loaded (something I had suggested earlier).

Please find those links and make them absolute to rectify the problem.
Hope it helps.

In the end it worked thank you! it was a javascript issue actually now seem to work fine.

Hello, I still seem to have an issue with this type of link: <li><a href="<?=urlencode('https://plus.google.com/share?url=http://www.designdiverso.com/sonokogroup.php Case Study by DesignDiverso')?>" target="_blank"><span class="soc-google"></span></a></li>


I've many of those and they all stopped working after the pretty urls implementation, I know it may sound dumb to you but, how can I make this work?
It's weird cause all the other external links seem to work fine

@diverso,

You sure the kind of link you posted ever worked?
You are urlencoding even Google+ URL which is wrong - you need to encode only the URL that is to be shared. For example, try the following and it should work -

Code: Select all

<a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=<?=urlencode('http://www.designdiverso.com/sonokogroup.php')?>" target="_blank"><span class="soc-google">test link</span></a>
