My TYPO3 SEO URLs don’t work correctly after migration
SEO friendly URLs are not available out of the box on TYPO3 website.
To enable them, follow these steps:
- Install the extension (RealURL or CoolURI) for SEO URLs following the instructions from TYPO3 website.
- Insert the following lines in the .htaccess file (it is located in TYPO3 root folder).
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^typo3$ - [L] RewriteRule ^typo3/.*$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteRule .* index.php
If .htaccess file is missing:
- create a file in your text editor and save it as .htaccess.
- upload the .htaccess file to your TYPO3 root folder via FTP and insert the above code in it.
