Hi

I tried to enable Pretty urls but I could not.. I made all the steps acording the documentation, but when I put the .htaccess file in the root and try to enter in the website, I get a number 500 error.

I checked the logs and found this:
[Thu May 26 21:58:17 2011] [alert] [client 187.36.154.112] /home/zilaghis/public_html/.htaccess: RewriteRule: cannot compile regular expression '^publicacoes/.*?([^\\.\\/]*)\\.html$'\n

Thanks!
Hi,

Could you please PM me the generated .htaccess file? I'll also need to know the version of your Apache server and the version of PHP running over it.

Thanks.
Hi,

We managed to duplicate the problem you reported.

It seems that mod_rewrite of certain older Apache 1.x (which, I am sure, is what you are using), understands only POSIX regular expressions, as opposed to the later versions that use the much faster PCRE type regular expressions - the type we use in our .htaccess.

We know of prettyURLs working well on several installations of Couch over Apache 1.x, so this problem is definitely not universal.
However, we have taken note of it and will try and rectify it.

Thank you for reporting this problem to us.
