LinkEX

so i installed linkex easy on 2 sites but i get to the 3rd and and i load index.php and fill it out and it goes right
back to the index.php without installing. then i remember that my htaccess file has alot of stuff in it so i deleted it
and it installed fine. i put back my htaccess file and nothing works again. heres what my htaccess file looks like.

hi,

it seems like your rewriting and LinkEX does not work that well togheter.
I would add this line to your .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/linkex/ [NC]
replacing linkex with what dirname you have installed linkex into, leaving your rewrite rules something like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*\/index\.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/linkex/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Can I ask why you are using that rewrite?

thanks void, that worked

i think its the rewrite to stop google from penalizing for duplicate content on
http://www.mysite.com/index.php and http://www.mysite.com and http://mysite.com
thats 3 different pages but with the same content on them and dont forget the 4th one is the ip address!!
