I know what htaccess.txt file is what in there do I have to do for Full Friendly URLs?

 

[TickTackk]

There is nothing to do in htaccess file after that unless you're facing any issues with the friendly urls. Have you enabled "Use Full Friendly URLs" in ACP > Options > Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

@batpool52! I get this

The requested URL /community/forums/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

It is Not active until renamed

Note that if you rename it on your desktop it becomes a hidden file, though normally viewable on an FTP software.

Once you have the fit in front and no extension then it will be active and should work.

Funny how we can miss the obvious. Or not realise they are only obvious once we know the ropes.

I often think the instruction manuals sometimes forget people start from knowing nothing

Crazy, I have a couple of licenses and never had to do that..

The .htaccess file is included. htaccess.txt is a copy and a reference of the original version. Normal situations don't need to do any renaming.

I'm guessing that your server doesn't have AllowOverride on. Is this a shared server or a VPS/dedicated? Have you set up Apache yourself?

As Mike said, either the server isn't configured or you have deleted the .htaccess file at some point.

You may need to look at your Apache configuration then, specifically AllowOverride. Out of the box, it's off so .htaccess files are ignored. (Alternatively you could need to set the RewriteBase in .htaccess, but this is very rare.)

checking it now.. Its a new forum just made it this week.. I just contacted my hosting to find out about the AllowOverride...

From my hosting...

AllowOverride is enabled. It will always be enabled on a cPanel server unless you've taken steps to disable it. Only two exceptions exist on your server, for the following directories:
--
/usr/local/apache/htdocs
/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin
--

Are you sure the .htaccess file is in place? If you type some random stuff at the top of it, does it then lead to the server triggering an internal server error page?
