XF 1.4 Friendly URLs Not Working

[foncused]

Hi,

I am having problems getting my friendly urls to work. I have installed XenForo in /home/website/www and my .htaccess file is present in that directory.

.htaccess file:

# Mod_security can interfere with uploading of content such as attachments. If you
# cannot attach files, remove the "#" from the lines below.
#<IfModule mod_security.c>
# SecFilterEngine Off
# SecFilterScanPOST Off
#</IfModule>

ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 500 default

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

# If you are having problems with the rewrite rules, remove the "#" from the
# line that begins "RewriteBase" below. You will also have to change the path
# of the rewrite to reflect the path to your XenForo installation.
RewriteBase /home/website/www

# This line may be needed to enable WebDAV editing with PHP as a CGI.
#RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(data/|js/|styles/|install/|favicon\.ico|crossdomain\.xml|robots\.txt) - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>

I have set AllowOverride to 'All' in Apache (/etc/apache2/sites-available/default):

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

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

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride All
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

I also ran this in my shell window to enable mod_rewrite:

sudo a2enmod rewrite && sudo service apache2 restart

After these changes are applied, I can visit my home page correctly: foncused.net
Going to a different tab, like 'forums' however shows up as an error page.

I would really appreciate any help with this, it is my first time configuring Apache and setting up a website.

Nevermind, I figured it out. I reset my .htaccess file to default and everything is fine now.

Just so you know.. it was probably your rewriteBase you had defined in your .htaccess. Your root was already where your RewriteBase was also pointed at, so if I understand correctly what it was basically looking for was it as /home/website/www off of your root that was defined in the vhost.

Thanks for the reply.
