Can't use Friendly URL

[Shahryar]

Hello guys,

I'd tried to enable Friendly URL option in Search Engine Optimization settings, but after activate and placing the htaccess file in the server, all posts, pages and forums show me " The page you requested does not exist".

I'd enabled three options in "Friendly URL" tab.

what is the problem?

help me plz.

is mod security off on your server and you have the>>> .htaccess

[Shahryar]

i think mod_security is not installed. this is my htaccess content:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule \.(js|css|jpeg|jpg|gif|png|ico|map)(\?|$) /404error.php [L,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Oh, I forgot to say that my forum is located in subdomain. subdomain name is "forums" and web address is like "https://forum.domain.com".

.htaccess so this is in a subdomain check your server and see what the issues sounds like is sever side if you have your .htaccess did u add the . in the front oh your file

Here's an example for the Rewrite Rule for subdomains:

 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com$
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.example.com$
 RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://blog.example.com/index.php/$1 [L, QSA]

Have you checked if you are using apache or nginx? If it's nginx the htaccess won't work and you need a different redirect method

No, it doesn't work.

we use nginx reverse proxy and apache. Can this be the problem?

Well if your using Nginx that means you need to setup nginx first as the .httaccess you are using only works for apache.

That information is quite critical to give next time you ask for help and something is not working btw.

 

The httaccess file you have would be this in nginx

# nginx configuration

location / {
  if (!-e $request_filename){
    rewrite \.(js|css|jpeg|jpg|gif|png|ico|map)(\?|$) /404error.php break;
  }
  if (!-e $request_filename){
    rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php break;
  }
   if ($http_host !~ "^www.example.com$"){
    rewrite ^/(.*) http://blog.example.com/index.php/$1 [L, QSA] redirect;
  }
}

That is taken also what @Jeffrey into account.

Please do use with care and remember to modify to your needs

Sorry, I forgot it. I added this code to Custom HTTPD Configurations in directadmin, but it show me an error. The error is:

nginx: [emerg] invalid number of arguments in "rewrite" directive in /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/admin/nginx.conf:21
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

The code I entered is:

location / {
  if (!-e $request_filename){
    rewrite \.(js|css|jpeg|jpg|gif|png|ico|map)(\?|$) /404error.php break;
  }
  if (!-e $request_filename){
    rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php break;
  }
   if ($http_host !~ "^www.mydomain.com$"){
    rewrite ^/(.*) https://forums.mydomain.com/index.php/$1 [L, QSA] redirect;
  }
}

The problem seems to be this:

rewrite ^/(.*) https://forums.mydomain.com/index.php/$1 [L, QSA] redirect;

finally i found the damn problem.

The problem was with php 7.3. I returned it to the previous version and the problem seems to have been resolved.
