.htaccess File – Modx friendly URLs

  1. # Vital components of your .htaccess file
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    # Force “www.yourdomain.com” instead of just “yourdomain.com”
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com [NC]
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    # The Friendly URLs part
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

  2. Make sure your site is still working… you can still use the same un-friendly URLs after making these edits; you just want to make sure you didn’t misspell something in your .htaccess file and cause it to parse incorrectly.
  3. Login to the MODx manager (www.yoursite.com/manager) and go toTools?Configuration?Friendly URLs and change the following settings:
    * Use friendly URLs: YES
    * Use friendly aliases: YES
    * Use friendly alias path: YES
