Real URL (realurl)

Configure Apache

RealURLs work by providing 'virtual paths' to 'virtual files'. These don't actually exist on the file-system, so you must tell Apache to let a PHP-script handle the request if it can't find the file. This way, all URLs to pages (like www.server.com/products/product1/left.html) will be 'redirected' to /index.php, which will handle the translation of the URL into GET parameters. Real files (like images, the TYPO3 backend, static html-files, etc.) will still be handled by Apache itself though.

You should put the supplied sample .htaccess file (called _.htaccess) in the root of your TYPO3-installation.

Alternatively, you could include the following lines in your httpd.conf, probably in the VirtualHost-section. Here is an example:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot /var/www/typo3/dev/testsite-3/
ServerName www.test1.intra
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/typo3$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^/typo3/.*$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* /index.php
</VirtualHost>
