Switching to Static URL's...

[tproductions484]

Hello.
I currently have a dynamic URL
(http://mysite.x10.mx/mybb/member.php...=profile&uid=1)

And I want to switch to static URL's
(http://mysite.x10.mx/mybb/user-1.html)

Yet, all of the php I have trie in my .htaccess in the root of my site (/public_html/.htaccess "is the location of my file") And my forum install (MyBB) is located in: (public_html/mybb/). So, can someone please tell me, to change to static url's, what code do I have to put into my .htaccess for my url's to work as static url's? I get a 404 error when I try one of these:

Options +Multiviews 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !mod= [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /index.php?mod=$1 [L] 

Please help.

Hello,

As from what you've said I gather your site to be run by a MyBB script, I suggest you consult their support. They will be able to give you more specialist advice.

Yes, but I do not know all of the optimized settings on x10hosting, and neither would MyBB, so, as one last question, is there any prefix that I have to place before the code or something such as

RewriteBase / 

or would it be

RewriteBase /mybb/ 

Because the script isn't installed into the root, there is it's own directory... (public_html/mybb/)

Hello,

RewriteBase / should be placed immediately below RewriteEngine On in your .htaccess.

Okay, my .htaccess is supposed to include this:

Options -MultiViews +FollowSymlinks -Indexes

# If mod_security is enabled, attempt to disable it.
# - Note, this will work on the majority of hosts but on
#   MediaTemple, it is known to cause random Internal Server

#
<IfModule mod_security.c>
    # Turn off mod_security filtering.
    SecFilterEngine Off

    # The below probably isn't needed, but better safe than sorry.
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

    RewriteRule ^calendar-([0-9]+)-week-(n?[0-9]+)\.html$ calendar.php?action=weekview&calendar=$1&week=$2 [L,QSA]

And I still get 404 errors when I try to access pages on the site! But when I remove the code, the site works! So, can someone please edit this code to what would work for MyBB and x10hosting options (such as RewriteBase / needed, as well as maybe other things like that).

If this helps, MyBB is uploaded into this directory: "public_html/mybb/"
Do I maybe have to change "RewriteBase /" to "RewriteBase /mybb/"?

Hello,

You will need to change it to RewriteBase /mybb/ as you stated above, since your forum is in the /mybb directory.

[tproductions484]

It STILL DOESN'T WORK. I still keep getting 404's. Would I have to change ANY OF THE LINKS OF THIS CODE? Considering that it is installed in public_html/mybb/?

You took out the RewriteBase...

Should look like the following under the <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> line

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /mybb/

That just gives me a 500 error... OMG. Does x10hosting not support this feature or something? I'm doing exactly what you day.

[Skizzerz]

Oh, just noticed your first post -- you need to move that .htaccess file into the mybb directory
