  Hi All
  
  Expanding on a topic that I started elsewhere.
  
  Two installs of PN.8MS2. Both use the same config.php and same DB.
  
  The setup that I have means that everything is identical for both installations (same server, same DB, same PN but copied twice in diff dir's) except for different host headers !
  
  The live directory is root at live.domain while the dev copy is in a sub-dir like dev.domain/postnuke/
  
  I have just stepped through and tested all combinations of off / file / dir shorturls with the following results.
  
  ShortURL option OFF - (afterthought: .htaccess for files was present)
  
  live index.php?module=Legal OK
  dev index.php?module=Legal OK
  
  ShortURL option ON / File ON (.htaccess for files)
  
  live module-Legal.html OK
  dev module-Legal.html FAIL
  
  ShortURL option ON / File ON (.htaccess for dirs)
  
  live index.php/Legal/ FAILS
  dev index.php/Legal/ FAILS
  
  ShortURL option ON / File ON /StripEntry ON (.htaccess for dirs)
  
  live Legal/ FAILS
  dev Legal/ FAILS
  
  Somewhere in the chain of apache/mod_rewrite/.htaccess something is failing to process the conversion. So its probably an Apache httpd.conf issue rather than PN which I'll look at further but since I have typed this up already I might as well post it.

  Hi All
  
  Not a PN problem, but a sysadmin issue, namely me!
  
  .htaccess will not work without AllowOverride in the httpd.conf for the directory.
  
  What took me 24 hours to realise was that the 'live' site was covered by the default apache config instructions while the 'dev' site was not and needed the 'AllowOverride All' instruction to be added to the virtual host section.
