404 Error when clicking viewlinkdetails and ratelink

Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2007 3:19 pm

Hi,

I know I am going to regret posting this because I know it is going to be something simple, but I've been looking at it for over an hour and still can't find the problem.

In Web Links when clicking Details, or Rate This Site I am getting a 404 error.

The link generated by Shortlinks is /viewlinkdetails-2.html and /ratelink-2.html respectively.

I'm sure this worked before I upgraded to RN 2.10.01, but I can't be sure.

I've double checked that I have the latest shortlink files uploaded and the latest code in the .htaccess, but its still not working.

All shortlinks elsewhere on the site appear to be OK.

Any pointers would be gratefully appreciated.

Not a bad question at all because others may experience the same issue. You need to replace your the .htaccess rewrite rules with the ones that are in the new shortlinks.htaccess for both Downloads and Web Links as these had to be changed for 2.10.01 due to the removal of the title from the links (another fix that was made).

[Edited: I had to change the verbiage above as it was not clear. Hopefully this is better.]

I thought I had done that and double checked it, but I will check again tonight.

OK I'm the idiot! Sad

I copied the shortlink details into the .htaccess file and it works. Very Happy

I'm sure I had done that, but obviously not. Confused

I think I need more sleep!
