Paul,
Upgraded from 4.0.36 to 4.1.9 and the modrewrite isn't rewriting the links. Apparently the modrewrite isn't working at all.

This will have something to do with your rewriting settings, so I need to see them. Show me Admin -> Settings -> SEO.

You say categories don't work? I don't see how that's possible, it looks the same as what I have at http://links.webmastersite.net .

Have you tried resubmitting the SEO page as-is?

Do you know if your server has special requirements for .htaccess files? Years ago a few people said they needed to remove +Follow symlinks or the like but I haven't heard of anyone needing modifications in a long time.

Can you be more specific about what "isn't working at all" means? Are you seeing a specific error message on your page, a blank page, some other sort of page? Everywhere, only in categories?

Paul,
Ok, On the main page the categories and subcategories are rewriting but the links in toplists aren't rewritting. When you go into a main category and have subcategories under it, the subcategories are not rewriting. The link details are rewriting but the links are not rewriting. Threads are rewriting. Mainly the subcategories(except on main page) and links are not rewriting.

Hello azteca, just to comment that you have to compare current templates with yours as the url now are formed differently to be rewritten.

Peumus,
I did that and notice now that {CATURL} is now for the categories so I got the subcategories to work. Ok now I've checked the templates for the links and I have {TRACKLINKURL} for the links. The links are not rewriting is the only problem I have now.

Peumus,
I am using {LINKDETAILSURL} for details and it's working fine. I'm talking the actual links are not rewriting. In 4.1.10 is now where I am at on this now. I updated to the latest thinking this would solve the problem and it didn't. I thought that if you are tracking hits out that you needed to have the links rewritten to do so. For my links in toplists and directory I use {TRACKLINKURL}. Is this not being used anymore as far as tracking out going hits?

Liz, tested at my heavily costomized templates,
using: <a href="{TRACKLINKURL}"><b>LINKURL: {LINKURL}</a> works fine at displaylinks.tpl also at details.tpl

Hits (out at least) are not tracked you are right.

Nor should they. I can't see any sense in rewriting when we can just use a direct link, since hits tracking no longer involves indirect linking. Outgoing links can rewrite only when you use the outgoing frameset switch, since that's the only case where it makes sense... are you using it?

Ok so {TRACKLINKURL} is no longer used then for hit tracking? Gotcha. No I'm not using outgoing frameset. Was just concerned with the hit tracking in all. Thanks Paul and Peumus for you help.

{TRACKLINKURL} is still used for hit tracking, it just happens to use the link {LINKURL} along with an AJAX trigger, or {LINKDETAILSURL} if there isn't a link url.
