Topic: Removing ? from URLs

I followed the directions to remove the ? from URLs, however, I am not able to get it to work. When I remove the "_" from the htaccess file, I receive a "500 internal server error" when I try to navigate to my site. If I leave the "_" in the file, I am able to get to the home page, but not further. My host provider uses Linux. Please help.

Thanks!

Re: Removing ? from URLs

Try commenting out either of these lines. (just add a # in front)

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks

Some hosting providers don't like these lines/don't want you to use them.

Re: Removing ? from URLs

1. Open _htaccess then try commenting out :
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks

2. After that set the MOD_REWRITE to true, by default it is false

3. Finally save it as .htaccess ! DONE !
