History of PrettyUrls

PrettyUrls use the Apache webserver's ))mod_rewrite(( module to handle URL rewriting to convert browser references such as
__http://www.example.com/blogs/1__
to web server references such as
__http://www.example.com/blogs/index.php?post_id=1__

So far Blogs, Wiki, Fisheye and Users have had code added to handle the checkbox for PrettyUrls in Admin -> Features

))mod_rewrite(( comes as part of apache by default and has to be enabled in your httpd.conf file:
{code()}
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
{code}
goes to
{code()}
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
{code}

this should be done for the / dir and your html dir such as /var/www/

Note:
Depending on your web server configuration, the default supplied .htaccess files may not work. One thing to try is to comment out the "RewriteBase" line in the file. For example:

{code()}
RewriteBase /wiki/
{code}
goes to
{code()}
# RewriteBase /wiki/
{code}
