XF 1.2 Friendly URL's Not Working

[chaseoes]

I can't seem to get full friendly URL's working. When I attempt to visit any page other than the main homepage I'm greeted with a 404 error.

I've tried the following:

• Ensured my .htaccess file is writable, renamed htaccess.txt to .htaccess.
• Enabled the friendly URL's option in the admin panel.
• Ensured that mod_rewrite is enabled.
• Ensured that AllowOverride is set to ALL.
• Restarted Apache.
• Followed applicable instructions in http://xenforo.com/help/friendly-urls/.

Anything I'm missing?

I am able to browse any page on your site without a problem.

Where is the .htaccess file located? It should be at the root of your forum install (where the index.php is).

Yes, it's in the root install folder with index.php.

I'm trying to test it on a test installation before moving my live site.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Contact your web hosting company and explain the problem.

It's a dedicated sever, I'm my own web host.

I also have a dedicated server and get help from my web hosting company all the time.

I'm not understanding. I don't have a web host. I installed Apache myself.

He hosts his own server, Andy.

Anyone have ideas for what else I can try?

You may need to set the RewriteBase in your .htaccess file.

You may need to set the RewriteBase in your .htaccess file.

I set it to this:

RewriteBase /

And it didn't change anything.

 

[chaseoes]

I fixed it by adding the following to my default sites-available configuration in Apache:

<Directory /var/www/>
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  allow from all
</Directory>

Even though AllowOverride was set to all in the default Apache2 configuration apparently it needs to be set there as well.

Thanks!
