Error while removing index.php from URL in concrete 8

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,

I want pretty URL's on my site.
When i try to remove index.php from the URL in concrete 8 i get the following error:

"It was not possible to identify your server-type. Here's the configuration sections for every supported server: please manually add the one relevant for you to your server configuration."

When i then go back to the site i get a ton of error and the site is not usable.

What's causing this error?

Thanks,

Grafoman

I managed to solve this myself:

Apparently there was no .htaccess file on the FTP server. So it could not add the code, which then caused the error. 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>


I made a new .htaccess file on the ftp server and everything worked.
