default .htaccess settings?

[mokers]

I know I have apache on my server, but for some reason, prestashop is not able to create an .htaccess file. after I enable friendly urls, I get no option to generate the .htaccess file. Are the default .htaccess settings listed somewhere? I don't mind editing the file myself, but I don't know what it's contents should be.

Thanks,

Joe

Did you upload a blank .htaccess file with chmod 666 permissions to the root directory of PrestaShop on your server? The "Generate .htaccess file" button won't appear until you have.

I uploaded a blank .htaccess and modified the permissions correctly. I was able to do the robots.txt file without a problem.

That's weird that you can generate a robots.txt file, but not a .htaccess file. Here's the default .htaccess file in PrestaShop v1.3.2, assuming the shop is in the root directory:

# Catch 404 errors
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

If your shop is in a subdirectory, you will need to add the subdirectory before the / near the end of each line.

[JOYE]

solved...turned out my htdocs was the main catalog and it worked just fine

[curtdonohue]

I created a video to walk through the process of enabling friendly URLs, creating the blank .htaccess file, and uploading that file to the web host.

You can view the video at the following address: http://www.prestatraining.com/create-prestashop-htaccess-file/

I hope this helps!
