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 feature:

!!Where to find it

Look for PrettyUrls in Admin -> Kernel -> Features
(mydomain.xx/kernel/admin/index.php?page=features)

''NB: If mod_rewrite is not activated, activating this feature will generally disable all the links in left and right hand columns.''

!!About ))mod_rewrite((

))mod_rewrite(( comes as part of apache by default and has to be enabled in your httpd.conf file:
{CODE source='Apache'}
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
{/CODE}
goes to
{CODE source='Apache'}
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo
</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 source='Apache'}
RewriteBase /wiki/
{/CODE}
goes to
{CODE source='Apache'}
# RewriteBase /wiki/
{/CODE}
