URL Alias

That means you have clicked the top option on the bitnami install as windows service.
You may have to uninstall. Your brother can unset is as a windows service if he knows how.
If this is all you are using it for, XAMPP will do the same functions. Your preference.
In the XAMPP, don't install as a service.
In the control panel, just start the MySQL and APache. That's all you need.

And yes, Leo is a design wizard.

Just drop me a PM if you need the menu. I can help you to make it black. 2 minutes css work.

We got it fixed!

To get the local server working all we did was change one ketter from capital to lower case in the httpd.conf file. Weird, I know but it fixed the local server but not the live server.

Code: Select all

AllowOverride All
AllowOverride all

To fix the live server we ended up removing the "store" name after "RewriteBase /" and swapping line 23 and 28 in the .htaccess folder.

Code: Select all

RewriteBase /

#AlegroCart REWRITES START
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
#AlegroCart REWRITES END

</IfModule>
#Try if you have problems with url alias
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php [L,QSA]

He said something to the effect that the local and live server may be using different versions of apache and perhaps the full url was not being handed to the controller (something to do with $1 on line 23).

That's good to hear.
The local server is a mystery.
The live server can always be a problem.
And yes, if your live site is located in the document root, www or public folder, you don't need the /store.
The $1 is one I have never heard a problem with before. It fixes problems on some windows server with URL alias.
But is great that everything works.
