Boost .htaccess for clean urls on specific shared hosts
Last modified: April 5, 2009 - 16:21
This code was taken from the Boost module and modified just a little bit. Please note that this implements a static cache of pages for anonymous users on your site. Read the Boost documentation to understand what this means.
Various users have reported that this .htaccess file works on the following hosts:
- 1and1.com
- byethost.com
- dotster
- ehostpros.com
- ehosting.ca
- hostmonster.com
- IXWebhosting.com
- mediatemple.net
- siteground.com
- Site5.com
- godaddy.com
There is no guarantee this will work for you though.
Instructions:
Create a text file, copy and paste the code below and save it as .htaccess
Upload the file and put it in the public_html directory of your site.
Modify "RewriteBase /" in line 68 to "RewriteBase /example" if your site is in subdirectory "example."
