Yes, but only if using the Panel. The core works beautifully without rewriting.
Yes, that’s intentional. I tried deleting the .htaccess
in a test installation and set the rewrite
option to false
. The /index.php/projects
URL works just fine, as Apache passes any additional path info after an existing file to that file. Doesn’t it work for you? If so, what server does your hoster use?
