Pretty Url Problems

Server Config
21

md1,

Other members have asked their hosts to restart and, with the explanation of the erroneous redirection, they’ve always been happy to do it. If not, then 1&1 is reputed to be a terrible host so it might enable you to find a good host to provide the service you should expect (and must demand).

Regards,

Hi DK,

I was actually able to make it work by fiddling with the code a bit:


Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d  
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteRule ^author/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)(/?)$ /author.php?name=$1

I’m not entirely sure why it worked this time instead of the times before.

Also one last question, i know you mentioned before there were 2 ways to fix the issue that would arise with the css, js and other attached files, i know i could change everything to absolute url’s but i would rather not do that, i know another option could be to include the files using PHP, so that the style sheet is internal. I this a viable option or is there a better solution.

EDIT: NM, i figured it out i just used the <base> tag.

Thanks for all the help everyone,
