GoDaddy Deluxe Hosting Help

[iulianh]

Ok i just purchased 2 days ago an deluxe hosting account from google . I have some problems with .htacces and Search Engine Friendly Urls , does Godaddy support .htacces ? When i activate SE Friendly urls i get an 404 error or 500 error .

Can anyone help me ?


Thanks,
Iulian

GD supports .htaccess, but they unlike every other host, usually only detect changes to .htaccess files every hour or so.

if your sef urls aren't working after an hour, then i'd start to suspect that the contents of your .htaccess file might be the culprit

Oh , thanks -NC- . I will put all SE urls to on and i will see after an hour if they work. Rep added .

Thanks,

just to clarify:

your sef urls should start working an hour after you put the .htaccess into your website root. ( assuming your .htaccess is correct )

when you enable the sef urls in your web app shouldn't matter.

i'm also assuming you're on the linux/apache hosting plan

I know , i have 2 phpld`s installed and 1 phparcadescript and they all have the same problem, i started the sef url`s on 1 phpld site and now i am waiting to see if they work .

I'm thinking it's the .htaccess file itself - to get phpld sef urls working for me on GD hosting, I had to add this line:

RewriteBase /

After this line:

RewriteEngine On

( assuming that you are running phpld from the root of the site, not a subfolder )

Give that a go and if that doesn't work an hour later, PM me your email addy if you want me to email you my .htaccess file which is working with phpld at godaddy - you can see it working here: www.qualityweblinks.com

Yes now it works, thanks a lot -NC- , you saved me .
