URL rewriting broken after upgrading to 1.5

[idcirco]

Under 1.4.9 and earlier I kept getting the error message "URL rewriting (mod_rewrite) is not active on your server. If you want to use Friendly URLs you must activate this mod." or its older equivalent. BUT, url rewriting still worked. Now that I've upgraded to 1.5 its all broken. no product pages show, etc.

 

I've confirmed that mod rewrite is enabled and .htaccess lists all the files that need to be rewritten.

 

it just doesnt work.

 

how do i troubleshoot this?

I had some major problems with the upgrade, I'm restoring it back to 1.4.9 right now.

 

So many thanks for your kind reply. I'll try to get back ...

[iggywebprom]

me 2 had to rollback...

[eplaku]

It is very frustrating when things don't go as envisioned. But what can we do other than try to geti it right

[tczaude]

Post apache configuration

Hi,

Did you regenerate a new .htaccess in the new shop? once upgraded to v1.5.17 ?

[iggywebprom]

I did. Probably that was the problem

Hi, thanks for the reply.

 

I could not figure it out, i went back to version 1.4.9

 

Sadly I'm having the same error. I did regenerate a completely new .httaccess file but the issue remains.

 

From what I can tell, the pages ending in .php within the /modules/ folder end in the 500 internal server error

Hi All

 

I found this thread because I have been having the same problem after upgrading an old version 1.2.4 site with one click upgrade.

 

After working through a number of issues I got everything working, except when I enabled friendly URL's.

 

I worked through the errors, tried various fixes including the one above, but nothing worked.

 

I'm working on a local XAMPP system and have a number installations I've been working on and can activate for trial purpose.

 

I took the .htacess file from a fresh install of 1.5.017 and put it into my upgraded installation.

 

The friendly URL's are now working,

 

There must have been some invalid re-writes generated when my original .htaccess was modified during the upgrade.

 

Hope this helps.

 

deepee

I deleted the old .httaccess file and had the store generate a new one, so this is still a mistery to me and have not been able to solve it. Currently I have a developer looking it over. I've lost a lot of time and orders trying to resolve this.

[jimmyc]

subbing to this - same problem on a fresh latest version install

Tried that first and it didn't work for me either.

 

It worked when I replaced the .htaccess with one from a fresh installation of 1.5.17, installed with default options (i.e. populated with sample products etc.) and no changes made to it.

i add Rewritebase / to .htaccess after RewriteEngine on and it works.... but how to make it automatically add to .htaccess when prestashop generate new .htaccess?
