Friendly URL not working

[hurray]

When you add a product, prestashop lets you edit the friendly URL.
However it is not working for me. No matter what friendly URL I have, on the front-end it still shows the URL with =, ? .

Can anyone help?

You must enable Friendly URLs under Back Office >> Preferences then
you have to create a blank .htaccess and upload it to your root prestashop folder go to
Back Office >> Tools >> Generators and then hit Generate .htaccess file.

Hi,
I do not have the Generate /htaccess file option.

Did you make new empty file .htaccsess ?

I attached file in zip .

htaccess.zip

This is what you have to write in your .htaccess (tested on 1.3.1)

# URL rewriting module activation

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

# Force www

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dominio.es$

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.dominios.es$1 [R=301]

when uploaded to your host do not forget to change line 5 and 6 with your domain name (if you want WWW rewrite to be enabled)
