Disable Mod_Rewrite Friendly URLs?

[amagab]

I mistakenly enabled Mod_Rewrite Friendly URLs before I was able to enable the mod_rewrite module on my server. Now I can't access my website. Is there a way to disable it elsewhere....like in the database?

Thanks!

If you have ftp access rename the .htaccess file to temp in your forum root dir. That should then give you access to the adminCP.

Nope, that didn't change anything. I renamed the .htaccess file but it is still trying to open the friendly URL.

Anything else I can do?

I tried changing the friendly url value in the setting table to 1 (from 3) but that didn't work either. Can't really figure out what is wrong. I have now also enabled mod_rewrite on my server but that doesn't help.

If I type in my domain it still wants to go to: http://mydomain.com/content/1-the-front-page

I'm able to access http://mydomain.com/forum.php but not any pages that uses Mod_Rewrite Friendly URLs.

Ok, so I was able to access the ACP since it doesn't use friendly URLs, and turn it off.

That was going to be my next suggestion.

I would like to change the exisitng url rewriting form basic friendly to mod rewrite. HOw can I do that without my website being unusable?
