URL rewrite not working

I enabled URL rewrite in the configuration, but in spite of getting the message that it was successfully enabled, it doesn't seem to be working. My "stories" still have urls like "http://mywebsite.com/article.php/2011021018143641.

If it helps any, I installed version 1.6.1 of Geeklog using "Fantastico" in cpanel. My web host uses Apache 1.3.42.

Thanks.

That actually is a "rewritten" URL. Without the option enabled, it would look like http://example.com/article.php?story=2011021018143641

If you were expecting to get rid of the "article.php" - sorry, that's not possible from within Geeklog. You would need to look into using Apache's rewriting instead (mod_rewrite).

bye, Dirk
