This is after we were able to get Friendly URL's working from this post:

XF 2.2 Thread 'Friendly URLs Not Working'

Hello -
We're having some difficulty in getting Friendly URLs to work.

We have mod_rewrite installed and turned on
We've adjusted the directory path in the Rewritebase section of the .htaccess file
We've confirmed that AllowOverride is set to All

When we turn on Friendly URLs, the homepage works fine, but clicking on a post leads to a 500 error. Any ideas?


Since then we have noticed the "hover" preview does not work. Here is a screen shot without friendly URL's turned on:

withoutSEO.webp

Here is WITH friendly URL's turned on:

withSEO.webp

As you can see the hover function seems to have been broken by this setting as we have not changed anything else. Is it as simple as needing to rebuild our threads after making the change?

Any thought on how we can fix this?

Thanks!

Just to add to what Justin has said, manually entering the URL for the preview fails with the Friendly URL option turned on but returns the expected content when it's off. It really seems like a rewrite issue though I see that this forum is using friendly URLs and the hover works fine. Could it be an anomaly in the RewriteRule just on Apache2. I'm not able to comprehend how the rules provided work as they are so simple, they must be doing more than I understand. Those rules would appear to me to just replace the found Directory, Symbolic link, or File path with index.php. I realize that is not happening on all other URLs since they work fine, but that is what the hover URL returns when the URL option is checked (it returns just the home page rather than the hover content). I wondered if this being an apparent AJAX call, is related.

Are there any errors in your admincp? What php version are you using? Have you checked any addons that might cause conflicts?

If you need a fresh working .htaccess to work with, you can use mine, just make the proper edits to input your domain name.

We are on PHP 8.2.11, we have created one of our own add-ons that edits the thread view and we are looking into that but it was not an issue until we enabled the friendly URL's

Ok it looks like the fella working with you modified the httpd.conf that is being used in conjuction with a .htaccess file right? What does the contents of both of them look like?

We found both problems. The first was not having the Apache2 conf setup to allow the rewrite to occur in .htaccess. The second was unrelated and was a cloudflare rewrite that was trapping the trailing Preview on the friendly version of the hover URL. Thank you for all your suggestions.
