Dreamhost pretty URLs
PermalinkJust set up a new site for a friend (http://www.1stsightfilms.co.uk) and been trying some of the suggestions in previous posts I found on Google about getting pretty URLs working on Dreamhost, but can't seem to get it to work.
Does someone know what the definitive solution for getting it to work? Is it only to do with .htaccess, or do I need to work with some other stuff to get them working?
Thanks,

Thanks for getting back to me - so, for htaccess, do you mean I need to CHMod to 755? It's currently on 644 which I assume is safer?
Thanks,

EDIT - Sorry, I'm being stupid. I've already done this and added the mod rewrite code in there, but I get an error of File no Input
I'll open a ticket with them and see if they can explain why I'm getting that error message.
Thanks for your help

Thanks for getting back to me everyone here.

You'll need to make sure that the .htaccess file is writable.
Go to the dashboard and click on sitewide settings. You'll see a box saying pretty URL's, put a tick in the checkbox and copy the code into your .htaccess file.
The only other thing you'll need is mod_rewrite enable which Dreamhost will need to do for you if it isn't already switched on.
Hope this helps.
