Top links broken

[pk698]

Couldn't find this in search.

My top links, popular links, random links, all do not work.

I get a 404 error "not found".

What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Looks like .htaccess file is missing on your installation. Make sure it's there and it looks exactly like the one that came with the script

[pk698]

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ index.php?category=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^index([0-9]+).html$ index.php?category=&page=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^index.html$ index.php?category=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index.html$ index.php?category=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index([0-9]+).html$ index.php?category=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)-listings.html$ listings.php?view=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)-listings([0-9]+).html$ listings.php?view=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)-l([0-9]+).html$ view-listing.php?title=$1&id=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-l([0-9]+).html$ view-listing.php?cat=$1&title=$2&id=$3 [QSA,L]

That's what I have in my .htaccess file

[pk698]

Uh.... so any advice on this? The problem still exists...

[Dave Baker]

Hello pk698,
Please send me PM with your ftp credentials.

[Dave Baker]

pk698,
For some reasons from your .htaccess were removed the rules intended for those pages. I've restored your .htaccess. Please be careful in the next time. :)

[pk698]

OK, thank you for fixing it.

[Dave Baker]

You are welcome pk698!

RewriteBase /links/

Can anyone help??? (using free version 1.6)

[Simon Gooffin]

Hi Belgirl,
Welcome here. Try to insert this line

RewriteBase /links/

right after
RewriteEngine on

And please post your questions related to pro version in our Pro forums area

[belgirl]

I'm not using the pro-version. However, I had the wrong .htaccess file and tech support emailed me the correct one for version 1.6 (free) so problem has been solved.

So what is proper htaccess file? the one I have which was in the 1.6 download is below. But I still have the problems with the links not working right. And also, the emails that go out to the person submitting a link are messed up.

Where it is suppose to tell them the url they submitted it reformats their url to some like http://www.mydomain.com/test-l4.html

Where their url that was submitted was actually test.com
