Friendly URL Problem

[sillyrosster]

I'm not sure how to get friendly url's working. Is there a topic you can point me to or tell me how to get them working here?

public_html is the "root" of your server for web pages.

Ah, okay. Sorry, newb here. *sigh*

Possible causes of friendly URLs not working (usually manifests as "404 not found" error on forum pages):

1) Your server doesn't have mod_rewrite installed.

2) Your server doesn't have AllowOverride enabled:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#allowoverride

3) The .htaccess file is not in place in your forum directory.

4) Sometimes you need to specify RewriteBase in your .htaccess file (specify the name of your forum directory):

RewriteBase /xenforo

I am using godaddy shared host, and i read in internet godaddy have some security isues with "AllowOverride All"

Is there any way i can get to work friendly urls ?

If your host doesn't have both AllowOverride and mod_rewrite then friendly URLs will not work.

You removed it from the .htaccess file to allow RewriteBase, correct? Still trying to figure this out, but I don't have a lot of time, which is why I'm slow at replying.
