: 404 not found errors when using Modx CMS in a subfolder I have installed Modx CMS on my hosting provider, but instead of installing it on my root directory where it usually goes, I put it

@Voss4911412

Hey guys I finally figured it out, some how the code that works to do this in Modx CMS is below! This code shows you how to install it in a folder on your server.

It tells the htaccess file to read the .html extension and loads up the page without a problem.
#works , so happy!!

# MODX supports Friendly URLs via this .htaccess file. You must serve web
# pages via Apache with mod_rewrite to use this functionality, and you must
# change the file name from ht.access to .htaccess.
#
# Make sure RewriteBase points to the directory where you installed MODX.
# E.g., "/modx" if your installation is in a "modx" subdirectory.
#
# You may choose to make your URLs non-case-sensitive by adding a NC directive
# to your rule: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q= [L,QSA,NC]

# If your server is not already configured as such, the following directive
# should be uncommented in order to set PHP's register_globals option to OFF.
# This closes a major security hole that is abused by most XSS (cross-site
# scripting) attacks. For more information: php.net/register_globals #
# To verify that this option has been set to OFF, open the Manager and choose
# Reports -> System Info and then click the phpinfo() link. Do a Find on Page
# for "register_globals". The Local Value should be OFF. If the Master Value
# is OFF then you do not need this directive here.

# IF REGISTER_GLOBALS DIRECTIVE CAUSES 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERRORS :

# Your server does not allow PHP directives to be set via .htaccess. In that
# case you must make this change in your php.ini file instead. If you are
# using a commercial web host, contact the administrators for assistance in
# doing this. Not all servers allow local php.ini files, and they should
# include all PHP configurations (not just this one), or you will effectively
# reset everything to PHP defaults. Consult php.net for more detailed
# information about setting PHP directives.

# For servers that support output compression, you should pick up a bit of

RewriteBase /


As stated in the comments at the top of the file, RewriteBase should be set to your subdirectory:

RewriteBase /makeabio


This affects the relative path substitution later in the file (half way down):

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q= [L,QSA]


However, the directives at the top of the file seem to conflict with this? Are these part of the standard setup?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(?!makeabio/)(.+)$ /index.php?u= [NC,QSA,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^makeabio/(.+)$ /makeabio/index.php?u= [NC,QSA,L]
