  I've installed the mod_rewrite module in my apache2 webserver. After that i have copied the .htaccess file from /docs/shorturls.file.htaccess (mv shorturls.file.htaccess .htaccess) to the root directory. Now i'm testing the short urls in the postnuke settings. The directory type (type of URLs generated) runs very well but i have problems with the file type. The links are translated but when i klick on a link the site isn't found. Can anybody help?
  
  Thank's a lot

  Did you enable shorturls within PostNuke?
  
  

  • Login
    ../user.php
    
  • Go to admin
    ../admin.php
    
  • Settings
    
  • Xanthia
    
  • Configuration
    
  • enable Short-urls

  I have enable short-urls in the backend with (System -> Settings -> Short-URLs). I don't have Settings -> Xanthia -> Configuration... ? I'm testing the Postnuke Version 0.8.0.0 RC1. The "directory mode" works very well, but not the alternative "file mode" with *.html.

  Are you sure you have the correct .htaccess in place? If the correct htaccess is not present you will get 404 errors.

  Hi Jan!
  Welcome to the PostNuke Community!
  
  There are different htaccess for both types of urls.
  If you choice the directory type you must copy the htaccess named 'shorturls.directory.htaccess', otherwise if you want a file type urls, you must use the 'shorturls.file.htaccess' one.
  The process isn't all automatic.
  
  What do you think about the 0.8 features? look'n feel?
  
  Welcome again and Enjoy PostNuke!

  Hi Hammerhead, hi nestormateo!
  
  I have copied the content of /docs/shorturls.file.htaccess in the /.htaccess file and it contains now:
  
  

  Code

  and i get a 404 Not Found Error.
  
  Thank's a lot!
  
  Thanks for nice reception! @nestormateo
  
  In the last year i have to settle for a content management systen. The alternatives at this time were joomla and typo3. Using postnuke was the descision, because it's easy to use and it's easy to write extensions.
  Congratulation for Postnuke!

  Strange,
  This must not happen when you have the correct file.htaccess and the settings with File-type and 'HTML' extension for file-based URLs! You didn't change the extension right? Be sure of this.
  
  If you want to change the file extension from HTML to htm, you must change all the .html in the htaccess to the new extension.
  
  Also you can delete all the compiled (and possibly cached templates):
  Layout ->
  pnRender Engine ->
  Delete compiled templates
  Delete cached pages
  Xanthi a theme engine ->
  Settings ->
  Delete compiled templates
  Delete cached templates
  
  and try again,
  Tell us what happen.
  Good luck and good choice
  
  Happy PostNuking!

  I have this same problem, but worse. short urls for file give me 404s and also the directory ones unless I DON'T strip the entry point. Then it works.

  You must have a .htaccess in place to strip the entry point - if you're getting 404s the correct .htaccess isn't there.
