If your site is still down, and it's a 'public' site, drop me a word here if you need someone to fix things for you.

@Aaron Smith, I'm not 100% sure it's documented. However, it was (is?) my intention to automate this as well, so... I don't now. The problem is that this htaccess file doesn't only contain references to pretty URLs (it's only at the end.) It also contains a lot of helpers that force some Apache or PHP settings if the script can't force them by itself.
What I COULD do, though, is, in the Pretty URLs admin page, have some explanation on why you need the htaccess there (if not found), and perhaps also use the opportunity to give more pointers for ngnix and lighttpd compatibility, for instance.
That would work I think. More pointers is always welcome.

So, please confirm that the new installer fixes stuff.
So after a fresh install on my local machine and my VPS everything appears right with the world. Paths are normal again and Pretty URLs is working. For me at least.

I think it may be my host. I tried allot of stuff and nothing.. the thing is they have anew way of installing sub-domains:
Have a Domain so a sub and it show up under the servers main root public_html/wforum
when it should be sud-domain name/wforum..But not worry I think I can do a restore point on that directory!

I have several Domains on my server!

thanks,
Maxx

In the morning I'm going to do a Fresh install, on another server to see what happens, this one they have crazy way creating a sub domain, and I will also try to install into a manually created directory to see that goes ... to caver various install types. I will post things as I find them, I have other issue, but I think they do to paths for the assets and other stuff.

But anyway if you are using like host monster or similar you may run in to the same issues ( Please not) the direct path is not the same as the sub-domain, when you create one, and this something else I will investegate in my Cpanel setups!

regards,
Maxx

Yeah, can't say I've been using Wedge in a lot of sub-folders, but it's what I did yesterday and it was working just fine.

I had SMF on root\ and Wedge on root\upgrade.  After importing SMF to Wedge I moved all the Wedge files to root\ and modified all the paths in Wedge.  Everything works fine but pretty URLs.  When I turn on pretty URL on topics and try to browse to a topic, the link goes to upgrade.domain.com instead of www.domain.com.  That was the path to the Wedge installation and subdomain before the move.  Where is that setting at?

I see you're live! Did you figure out the answer or just switch off pretty-urls?
