I've spent hours trying the different approaches to removing index.php from the URL of the site, but now I give up, and hope someone braver and stronger than me might help. I'm in a hosted environment, and don't have access to the httpd.conf (why doesn't the installation documentation offer help for this?). I've added the ForceVirutalHost=true to override/site.ini.append.php, and copied .htaccess_root to .htaccess. When accessing the root page everything's fine. But when trying to access subpages with index.php in the URL, I get an "Access forbidden" error. I would greatly appriciate any help - either being pointed in the direction of a tutorial or documentation page, or suggestions on what to try.
Gaetano Giunta	Friday 13 November 2009 4:10:06 am If you're using the stock .htaccess file from eZP install, you need to comment out the first 2 FilesMatch directives to make it work in 'vhost mode': #<FilesMatch "."> #order allow,deny #deny from all #</FilesMatch> #<FilesMatch "(^index\.php\|favicon\.ico\|index_treemenu\.php\|\.(gif\|jpe?g?\|png\|css\|js\|swf\|html?)\|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf)$"> #order allow,deny #allow from all #</FilesMatch> This should have the exact same effect as uncommenting the 3rd configuration block, which is recommended by the comments within the .htaccess file itself...
