Clean URLs

By default OwnShip uses query-string URLs: ?page=my-page. With clean URLs enabled, pages serve as /my-page instead.

Setup

1. Enable in site.ini:

clean_urls = true

2. Create .htaccess next to index.php:

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

This works at any path depth — no RewriteBase needed.

Requirements

• Apache with mod_rewrite enabled (standard on virtually all shared hosting)
• .htaccess support enabled (usually the default)

Local preview

PHP's built-in server does not process .htaccess. Set clean_urls = false in site.ini when using the local preview scripts.
