Hi,

I'm trying to install simplified url on my local XOOPS instalation with XSAS (installs apache, mySQL etc on win2000). I do all the steps outlined in the help file (including the modification of loadpage.php that's not mentioned there) but when I go to my site it tells me "You are not authorized to view this page". I guess this has something to do with the .htaccess (that I didnt have, used the one provided with simplifiedurl) but I really dont know...anyone tried this local and it works?

thanks for any info on this...

I just noted that when I get rid of the .htaccess file it works. I can see the site and the url's look rewrited when I hover over the link. However if I follow the link I get a 'page not found'. I guess this is because I got rid of the .htaccess file (but then with it it doesnt work...). so the problem is there..I copied the contents of the file in case someone knows why it gives me a not authorized page...

#<Simplified URL Hack>

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
RewriteRule ^.*\.(htm|html) loadpage.php [L]
RewriteRule ^$ loadpage.php [L]

#</Simplified URL Hack>

is PHP setup in CGI mode or ISAPI?

htaccess doesn't function in CGI mode and will produce errors.

thanks m0nty, but no idea...how can I check that? or change it if needed? its XSAS (see link uder development). I understood it was somewhat endorsed by XOOPS and therefore would have the right settings, but I may be wrong...
