Could you post a link to a info.php on your site so its possible to see if mod_rewrite is enabled, and wich Operating system the server is running.

If you do not know what I am talking about, put this:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

In a file on the server, and call in phpinfo.php, and post a link here when your through.

"always get page not found 404 error."

.htaccess is missing! Please upload it in your MDpro ROOT directory.

I'm having a similar problem. I have the phpinfo file uploaded to:

http://bagladyprevention.com/cms/phpinfo.php

Everything works on one of my other sites, so I'm suspecting that mod_rewrite is not enabled on this server, but I don't know where to look for the info. I only see 1 listing that says anything about URL writing, but it's not labeled as mod_rewrite.

Can someone confirm this? Also, is there anything I can do other than ask the server administrators to enable mod_rewrite?

Yes, for everyone on this post, you must ask your hosting provider if mod_rewrite is enabled. If not, then short urls will not work.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no other way to find out.

Also, you must have an .htaccess file from short urls installed in your CMS root dir.
