Mark Marsiglio	Tuesday 02 November 2004 4:55:56 am When I develop eZ sites on my local webserver, my sites never show index.php, and all of my code uses ezurl instead of ezroot. I assume this is because of my apache config. However, when I switch to my hosting provider's server, the same site then shows the /index.php in the url unless i replace all of the occurrances of ezurl in the code with ezroot. The problem is, I cannot do this for all instances with creating lots of new overrides because the templates in the base and standard design folders use ezurl. Is there another way to get this to work without making this change? The admin side also does not work when I replace ezurl with ezroot (the design changes to my public side design), so I seem to be stuck with the index.php there. Any ideas why this would be different on the two servers, which otherwise are installed and configured the same way (eZ pub configuration, not necessarily apache or php config).

But there shouldn't be too many instances on your user site, admin is a different story and I have not bothered removing the index.php from the path for admin access. www.dbinformatics.com.au We are always interested in hearing from experienced eZ PHP programmers and eZ template designers interested in contract work.

That would make sense, but I am sure that I would have never been able to figure that out...thanks for the help. Mark http://www.thinkcreative.com Turning Ideas Into Strategic Solutions
