 Apache Mod_rewrite - seo and more! One of the most powerful tools that you can use both for SEO and general site management is to get to grips with mod_rewrite What does it do? What doesn't it do! Seriously though.. mod_rewrite allows you to control and rewrite URIs to suit your needs. You can turn ugly ?=45sd type junk into meaningful and more attractive URIs that both your readers and search engines can take advantage of For some basic information check out the Apache documentation: Apache module mod_rewrite - for Apache 1.3.* Apache 1.3 URL Rewriting Guide - more detailed with examples If you want to get your hands dirty then this site is an excellent resource: mod_rewrite Cheat Sheet - Apache - ILoveJackDaniels.com

 i have attempted to set this up tonight... i have ssh'd into my server and i have got the editor up to edit the httpd.conf file... LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so is uncommented but i couldn't find ClearModuleList or AddModule mod_rewrite.c to ensure that they each had the correct settings appointed to them. I was following this info > Enable mod_rewrite on Apache Can i copy the entire httpd.conf file to a clip board and view it in notepad so i can search for the keywords, it would make things a lot easier for me. I was using putty and there is a clipboard option but it copied the commands and not the actuall file content... |

| As you are using windows (yes I do read the server logs!) I'd recommend you get WinSCP :: Freeware SFTP and SCP client for Windows so that you can download the files without getting a headache? Which linux distribution are you using?

| Thanks, i'll check out that app now... edit:that app looks interesting, i opened a terminal within it and attemped to edit the file again in the hope of being able to copy it and it crashed on me :-( I'm using Ubuntu ( i presume you mean which i'm using personally at home and not which one the server uses?)

| Now you are confusing me  If you are using ubuntu on your desktop then you already have scp, as it's part of ssh What is running on the server?

| Ok. You should just be able to uncomment the LoadModule directive and give apache a HUP via Code: /etc/init.d/httpd reload

| If you have mod_rewrite in a Load Module in the httpd.conf file, what else do you have to do? Have you just tried restarting and seeing if rewriting works. Yeah, rewrite is very powerful, I wish I knew about it from the start. Around 2002, I was spending ages trying to get my PHP scripts to create search-engine friendly directories and files to mimic mod_rewrite. Was very messy. |
