Title: SEO Pro Not Functioning
Post by: jcoreymart on September 17, 2012, 19:21:31
Test Server = Windows 2008 R2 SP1 - Fully Patched

Apache 2.4.3-x64 installed in c:/etc/apache
PHP 5.4.5 x64 installed in c:/etc/php
MySQL 5.5.27 x64 installed in c:/etc/MySQL
Elxis 2009.3 installed directly in c:/etc/www

Only Sample Data is loaded as I am just testing capability and function at this point.

When I enable SEO Pro, then only the Home page will load, none of the other links function.

.htaccess is enabled and renamed properly

.htaccess has "RewriteBase /"

Apache has "AllowOverride All" set

What am I missing...Or does SEO Pro simply not work on a windows host?

You can use Ionic Isapi Rewrite* module on a IIS (Internet Information Services) web server.  IIS is the default (commercial) web server for windows hosting. Verify that your website hosting company offer you such a module. Here is a relative article on Elxis Wiki: http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Ionic_Isapi_Rewrite_and_SEO_PRO_on_Windows_IIS
*Ionic's Isapi Rewrite Filter, aka IIRF, is a small, FREE, easy to use, URL rewriting ISAPI filter. It combines a good price (free!) with good features. It is fast and powerful. It works on IIS 6.0, and later.

Obviously you did not read my post.  I'm not using IIS as the web server.  I'm using Apache.

Off course SEO PRO works under windows. I use Elxis every day under windows with all the features fully functional.
It is almost certain that you haven't enable properly URL rewrite in your apache.

Make sure the module is loaded, exists and the line in not commented:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so (it can be different in your computer)

In your vhosts make sure the following exists and it is not commented:
AllowOverride All

After you change an apache configuration variable restart it!

Thank you.  I thought I had gotten all of the AllowOverrides, however apparantly I missed a few.
