[Fed]

Hello guys
I tried to activate Search engine friendly urls plugin and now i can't access my gallery anymore
how can I disable it so everything starts working again?
I also tried restore a backup and it didn't work
when I try to access my gallery I get a 403 forbidden error
the cpg1410_plugins table is empty
can I do it in phpmyadmin?edit a config file? or what?

thank you

Delete the .htaccess file in your Coppermine directory.

thank you, I removed it and it's working now
I have another htaccess in the main folder of my site and it seems that, being coppermine in a subfolder, they can't get on well together
I think maybe the .htaccess code should be edited to work with any other htaccess in an upper directory (don't take it as a critic but as an idea for an enhancement, if possible), I don't actually know if this is possible and I basically suck at htaccess and regular expressions in genenral

it doesnt create the htaccess for me, could anyone help me, why?

Check permissions: the user the webserver runs under needs write permissions on the gallery root to perform this.

edit the .htaccess

from plugins

Code Select Expand


Options FollowSymLinks SymLinksIfOwnerMatch


fix to

Code Select Expand


Options +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch


and it maybe work

How would that affect whether the file can be written or not?

There is no guide on how to install Search Engine Friendly URLs v1.0 as plugin.

I could not find it anywhere. . .

[Joachim Müller]

The guide in the docs that explains how to install any plugin is valid for the plugin you mention as well.

OK .. Thank you..
Is there new version for this plugin ?

[Joachim Müller]

Most recent version is SEF_URLs plugin for cpg1.4.x. Locking.
