samuel-t Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hi there I'm a completly newbie and have a basic question regarding friendly URLs: I want to activate it, but an error occurs, says: URL rewriting (mod_rewrite) is not active on your server, or it is not possible to check your server configuration. If you want to use Friendly URLs, you must activate this mod. But I can't adapt any mod_rewrite config in my php configuration file... My PrestaShop config: Server information Server information: Linux #2 SMP Tue Jan 10 15:49:22 CET 2012 x86_64 Server software version: Apache/2.2.22 PHP version: 5.4.9 Memory limit: 256M Max execution time: 300 Database information MySQL version: 5.5.28-log MySQL engine: InnoDB Tables prefix: ps_ Store information PrestaShop version: 1.5.4.1 Current theme in use: default Mail configuration Mail method: You are using the PHP mail function.

vekia Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 A mod_rewrite engine is software located in a Web application framework running on a Web server that modifies a web URL's appearance. This modification is called URL rewriting. Rewritten URLs (sometimes known as short, fancy URLs, search engine friendly - SEF URLs, or slugs) are used to provide shorter and more relevant-looking links to web pages. The technique adds a layer of abstraction between the files used to generate a web page and the URL that is presented to the outside world. It's necessary for friendly url. so if you havent got mod_rewrite available on your hosting - you can't use friendly urls. we don't know your hosting packet, so it's better to contact with your hoster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuel-t Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Thank you very much for your fast reply. I just activated friend urls now, well, the error still occurs, but when I test my shop, it works fine... I should be happy with this, perhaps the error message will disappear one day;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 So, you've got mod_rewrite and friendly urls will work for you well. This message about mod_rewrite - don't care about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vekia Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 it isn't bug, everything works fine - and you see this communicate because script probably hasn't got rights to check php configuration. It isn't important, believe me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledelire Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 exuse me for this incredibly stupid question, but I am new to the online world and try to do my best, but I get so lost sometimes with so much info: I have the same error message displaying, so how do I proceed to test if friendly URLs work? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 well, if you see this message (in back office about fr urls) you don't have to worry, it's because script haven't got rights to check it. How to test it? just turn friendly urls on, if website will work - it mean that you've got it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
