Hi to everyone!!!!!!!!!

I've just realised that websites made with PHPnuke are not very well indexed in Google.

Apart from the people who have bookmarked my site, I receive lots of visits thanks to Google results.

I've been looking for a solution, and I found several of the:

-mod_rewrite using htaccess. I've been told that it requires the computer to think quite a lot.

-Something that requires AcceptPathInfo to be turned on. It has some relation with $PHP_Self and $Path_Info. But I don't understand how it works...

- friendlyURL...... this method requires the user to do hard-boring-work..

Any suggestions?

Nice holidays

I hope these links will help you:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/howto/htaccess.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/mod/mod_rewrite.html

As well if you search this forum I had posted an example .htaccess that would re-write a dynamic url to make it look static.

I couldn't find the htaccess you mentioned but I found one which applies the following rules:

The weird thing is that it s only applied sometimes: it modifies the "top10" but it doesn't modify the "search" link... This happens also with other sections.

Won't this cause a high server load?

I've run quite a few servers with extensive rewrite rules and havent ever noticed increased load on them in the past. It will involve a little more overhead processing, but it shouldnt be tremendous.

As far as some working, some not, what is the link to your site, maybe the syntax is incorrect on the rules.

Jason

ok, forget it.......

The website from where I took the htaccess didn't totally modify the header.php... so the links which weren't added in the header.php weren't turned into static.

Thanks anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I just realised that downloads are unavailable for my visitors from my domain.

If they try to download a "zip" or "rar" file from my domain it is impossible!!!!!

I tried: http://www.mydomain.biz/folder/file.zip

and http://www.mydomain.biz/public_html/folder/file.zip

But none of them works, the only one which works is the one with your IP: http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx/~mydomain/folder/file.zip.

Any suggestions? Another Rewrite rule?

Rewrite should have nothing to do with static content unless you are rewriting the URL's to retrieve it... If thats the case, why rewrite it if its already Static?

Its impossible to diganose without the domain name to test with, Sorry.

Jason

the domain is www.emedicina.biz


And the forums don't allow users to create new topics.... I'll erase the rules which aplly to the forums
