New Install / Can't "Search"

[nixanwin]

Hi, I've successfully installed phpMyFaq and it's working except for the "Search" function. When I search for terms, it just shows a directory listing of /faq (attached). I'm fairly new to the linux/apache world. Any ideas what to check?

Hi,

did you enabled mod_rewrite in the configuration?

Sorry for the delay - -I didn't get an email saying the post has been replied to. That did fix the search issue - sorry about that. Thanks! I'm not quite sure what this means from the install guide (or where I edit the path): "You also have to edit the path information for the "RewriteBase"?

But now when I click on any FAQ, I get:

Not Found The requested URL /faq/content/3/4/en/who-owns-the-data.html was not found on this server.

When I look, I don't see an /faq/content directory. Thoughts?

[nixanwin]

I found the "RewriteBase" in the faq/.htaccess file and changed it to /home/web/www/public_html/faq. (Is that correct?)
I still do not have any "content" or "category" directories. Do I need to create them?

[nixanwin]

I also notice all of the hyperlinks on faq/index.php end with the .html extension. (e.g. http://www.url.com/faq/instantresponse.html). Any help is appreciated.

I've already implemented these fixes FYI.

Hi,

then please disable the rewrite stuff. I also released 2.6.8 yesterday which fixes a lot of issues.

I've updated to 2.6.8 and renamed .htaccess backup to _.htaccess.
Search works fine, but all of the faq, category and home page links end with .html instead of php. Very odd.
Also, no /faq/content folder exists on the server.

I may just start over

I just realized you meant disable Rewrite in the admin console. That fixed it. Sorry - I'm just learning. Thank you
