HowTo? .htaccess SEO-friendly URL
Posted: 13 Oct 2011, 6:17am - Thursday

Today, its my 3rd time I created a SEO-friendly URL for a website... and its been a year since my last setup and forgot the procedure.. So I'm writing it down to my blog to remind me what I did... this time, I used different method coz I'm getting lazy using regex. hehehehe... I used .htaccess generator at www.myseotool.com and upload to the server.. I tested it out.. and it seems it won't work... I search for the solution and I found the solution of Eddie Ringle about his experience too. So I edited my httpd.conf , since I'm also the system/server administrator, I have full access on the server, and change from;

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>
to
<Directory />
  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>
then save httpd.conf new changes. Then restart httpd or apache. then I tested it out.. ...or other way that might cause the problem is, your mod_rewrite.so module in not enable. to do this, edit your httpd.conf; from
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
change to
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
wallah! it works!
