Hello, Can I change the URL structure from www.domain.com/gallery2/main.php/category TO www.domain.com/gallery2/category. I want to remove main.php from the URL. I have already enabled URL REWRITE in the admin settings of gallery2.3.1. Thanks for Your Time. |

You want something close, but not just /gallery2/category Trust me, it can create problems. Best to have /gallery2/v/category or something to that effect. Just a suggestion on that.
First go an uninstall URL Rewrite under Site Admin > Plugins
Then reinstall it and select Apache mod_rewrite instead of PHP Pathinfo

A bundle of Thanks nivekiam,
It solved the problem.
main.php is gone from the urls. but it is still there in the main url. can it be removed from there too.
www.domain.com/gallery2/main.php TO www.domain.com/gallery2
and why should removing /v/ from the urls would create problems? I have seen some demo sites of gallery2 without /v/ and /d/.

To remove main.php from the URL, first edit config.php and near the bottom is a line for baseUri
Set the URL there to be www.domain.com/gallery2/
Then edit your .htaccess and add this:
# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex main.php
As for removing v/ or d/ from the URL, at the very least will break the 404 functionality and every incorrect or typo'd URL will result in gallery giving an "Item not found" message instead of dishing up a 404 message.

Thanks for the Support nivekiam,
It solved my problem. Now the urls look clean.
Coming back to v/ or d/. If there is only one drawback of not using v/ or d/ and that is 404 issue.
Then it is okay with me.
Would you suggest using urls without v/ or d/ if i don't need 404?
Regards
Yasir

That's just one issue I could recall off the top of my head. It's not recommended to run that way, but if it seems to work for you great.

FAQ: My Gallery URLs begin with /v/ and /d/, why?
