Have a look in your admincp/index.php?do=phpinfo , search for mod_rewrite to see if it's enabled.

If it is there, make sure your host allows htaccess rewriteengine.

This looks the same as what I see when I look at the phpinfo file, yeah? When I search for "mod_rewrite", it's not found. :(

Yeah, that's where your host comes in. They need to recompile PHP with the mod_rewrite extension. :)

I guess I'm out of luck on this one, unless you have another idea. :(

This is what my host said. "Your account is hosted on the Windows-based server with IIS6 webserver and for this reason you can't use Apache directives and .htaccess file."

There's an extension for IIS that enables rewrites, I'll see if I can find out more for you.

Hello,

if your host has ISAPI_Rewrite module for IIS installed, you can use these rewrite rules:
(replace "yourdomain.com" with your domain name and "/forums/" with your forums folder name)

Thank you, but where do I put this (what file?).

Hello,

Recently I got an error. I already set 25000 links and 15 secs like one of the members suggested.

This modification doesn't do anything to your URLs. It is a sitemap generator that creates an .xml sitemap for Google/Yahoo.
