Following the directions in the clean URL cookbook I set up my .htaccess<br>
file in /website as follows:<br>
<br>
# Use mod_rewrite to enable "Clean URLs" for a PmWiki installation.<br>
RewriteEngine On <br>
# The rewrite base will be the document root.<br>
RewriteBase /website<br>
# Send requests without parameters to pmwiki.php.<br>
RewriteRule ^$
/singles/pmwiki.php [L]<br>
# Send requests for index.php to pmwiki.php .<br>
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /singles/pmwiki.php [L]<br>
# Don't rewrite requests for any files, directories, or symbolic<br>
# links (shortcuts) that exist on the filesystem.<br>
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br>
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br>
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l # Send requests to pmwiki.php,<br>
appending the query string part.<br>
RewriteRule ^([A-Z0-9\xa0-\xff].*)$ /singles/pmwiki.php?n=$1 [QSA,L]<br>
<br>
I set up my /website/singles/local/config.php file as follows:<br>
<br>
<?php if (!defined('PmWiki')) exit();<br>
## Use "Clean URLs".<br>
$EnablePathInfo = 1;<br>
$ScriptUrl = "<a href="http://localhost"> http://localhost</a>";<br>
## more configuration settings...<br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'>I believe you want the RewriteBase
to be the root as served rather than the root as stored. Try "RewriteBase
/" instead.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'>Note, the should also allow "<a
href="http://localhost"> http://localhost</a>" without the
"index.php" to bring up your site.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'>Also, for this to work your Apache
server on the localhost must have mod_rewrite activated. You might want to
check to be sure this is the case. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:1.0in'>...Eric<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:.5in'><snip><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Eric,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have exactly the same situation as Tom’s description
above and I have the .htaccess file in my root directory. I have followed all
the instructions that I have found (my htaccess file looks exactly the same as
above) and can also confirm that mod_rewrite is also activated for my Apache
install.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>However, I cannot get rid of a “?n=” from my
URLs. For example, my URLs read as:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://hip.eharch.com/?n=Materials/Materials">http://hip.eharch.com/?n=Materials/Materials</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>instead of <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://hip.eharch.com/Materials/Materials">http://hip.eharch.com/Materials/Materials</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>which I would prefer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Would you have any ideas or suggestions regarding getting
rid of the “?n=” ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks. <o:p></o:p></p>
