I'm trying to activate the mod_rewrite built into IPB3.0 but having some difficulty. It looks like it rewrites the URL, but the server doesn't know what to do with it after that and returns a 404.

 

This is the .htaccess file I have

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

 

Options -MultiViews

 

RewriteEngine On

 

RewriteBase /

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..+$

 

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

 

</IfModule>

 

any tips?

It was an apache configuration problem.

 

Up next. I need a mod_rewrite rule to convert
