XF 2.0 mod_rewrite

[Jay™]

Hello, I am trying to enable friendly URL on a locked test site i plan to open later down the road, i have mod_rewrite enabled on the server but when i enable it on the admin panel the home page is blank, when i look in the .htaccess file it seems to be writing to the file, any idea where i can look next?

Thanks in advance

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^lakelandbuyselltrade\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.lakelandbuyselltrade\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "https\:\/\/www\.lakelandbuyselltrade\.com\/index\.php" [R=301,L]

Got it fix, for some reason the .htaccess file that was in there was corrupt, loaded a new one and worked fine.

Thanks

If you edited it in Windows and used one of the default Windows editors then that most likely was your issue. There is a difference in the way that Windows writes the text file and the way Linux wants it done.

There are problems in your redirect set. Don't escape periods and slashes in the redirected url and don't use quotes. You only need to escape periods and slashes with the conditional.
