Hi,
I'm now onto the SEO settings for my v8 upgrade, I've added friendly URL's to the categories (not products yet) and switched on SEO in the system settings and used the htaccess code for v6 to v8 upgrade in root folder, deleting the rewrite rules for my streamline/fasthost server.
Ive uploaded the file to my root (htdocs) folder which is where v8 resides.
Problem; I get the splash page but the catagories show "page not found" even though the address now shows the friendly URL.
Where am I going wrong?
Here's the .htaccess file, can someone check the rewrite bit is correct for fasthost servers, the wiki instructions confused me (easily done!) basically I deleted the first 3 lines
# Old SEO Rule Rewrites
RewriteRule ^ccp0-display/(.*)\.html$ index.php?app=cms&ns=display&ref=$1 [L,PT]

Thanks Nick, problem solved.
Could you possibly alter the wiki to say " delete these lines from the htaccess" for people like me who have pickled their brain cells over the years!
Next problem coming up soon!!
