[ajaykakde21]

Hi,

 

I am using prestashop 1.6.1.4. I have tried near about all the possible tricks and method to generate htaccess file but unable to generate it.

 

List of tried methods.

 

1. Canonical URL option.

2. Preferences > SEO & URLs - Friendly URL - Set to Yes

3. turn on / turn off multstore feature

4. Use all method of this link http://www.templatemonster.com/help/prestashop-1-6-x-how-to-regenerate-htaccess-file.html#gref

 

Guys please help. I relly getting tense because of this issue.

Hello,

Did you check your permission?

You can,

 

- Check your folder and .htaccess file permission. Folder p. is should be 755. Htaccess 644

- and first, you ought to delete or change htaccess name

- Finally, You can try to regenerate.

 

Good works,

Mobile Sahin

Sorry,

In addition, if htaccess is okay, you should clear the all cache.

also when we view .htaccess via ftp, at install .htaccess has different file permission  like other files, 644, but 664.  This means unless we set our FTP to view hidden files, it will not be seen, hence we may not think it exists.  Hope that helps.

I have similar issue .htaccess is not redirecting my website ends with www.myname.com/ecommerce and I'm trying to remove the "Ecommerce" from the url.

I've tried all the solution described on this topic and nothing works.

How about you just open the file with a simple text editor, remove the word "ecommerce" and save?

Helo eleazar,

Thanks for your response. my .htaccess contains these ....

 

" # <BlockUntilInstalled>

Redirect 404 //index.php

# </BlockUntilInstalled>

 

There's nothing else in there. I've spent the whole day trying to figure this out. 

[1Luciano]

There's absolutely nothing in my .htaccess file except what I've posted above.

The Friendly URL and cm_rewrite is not working for me. My .htaccess file does not contain anything else except these 

 

" # <BlockUntilInstalled>

Redirect 404 //index.php

# </BlockUntilInstalled>

Then I suspect you have permission problems.

after enabling debug mode, then please turn off and back on friendly url's to get PS to generate the .httacceess file.  Note any php error or warnings.

El Patron. Good afternoon.

Thanks for your response. Can you kindly tell me where the debug mode is located? thanks once again.

 

I forgot to mention to you that the message on my website is this:

 

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

 

 I will also look at the internal error reporting link you attached. Thanks once again.
