Hi there, I just installed Kirby on a server through FTP. I’m trying to point a subdomain to it (ex. http://subdomain.domain.com ) I activated RewriteBase / in .htaccess But : My homepage looks perfect Every link I click on creates a weird dumbed-down version of my HP (and not the /page expecte…

Put a new php file (e.g. info.php) in the root of your folder just with the following command: phpinfo(); You can even put that in the index.php if you want. Then open that file in a browser and use search for mod_rewrite, it should be listed in the section “Loaded Modules”

OK, I finally managed to get in touch with my hosting provider. (btw, I don’t recommend using Nordnet, they’re total crap). And it seems the mod_rewrite PHP module is not activated and there’s no way to activate it… So that leaves me there…
