permalinks not working after moving host

    I recently moved hosts & had numerous problems with getting database to work. My host has not been very helful unfortuntely.

    I’m now having a problem with internal links, permalinks & image editing in wordpress. I’ve tried varuois routes i.e creating .htaccess file. Finding out that my host runs on Zeus which has different rules. Heres the response from my host…

    Thank you for getting in touch with us about mod_rewrite

    Unfortunately, mod_rewrite is not available on our hosting packages as this is a module for Apache servers and we run Zeus. We do however, offer an alternative, more powerful rewrite facility on all of our Linux hosting packages.

    The Zeus Rewrite functionality works in a similar way but has a slightly different syntax. Simply create a file called ‘rewrite.script’ in your web directory and enter your rewrite rules.

    The full Zeus Web Server documentation (including Zeus rewrites) can be downloaded from here:
    – http://support.zeus.com/zws/media/docs/4.3/ZWSUserGuide.pdf

    We also have a few example rewrite scripts which you can find located in the Knowledge Base section of your online control panel, as well as that a quick Internet search should also find you some example Zeus scripts for rewriting URLs in common CMS systems such as Drupal and WordPress. Although please keep in mind that we cannot convert your scripts for you or write new ones on your behalf.

    Further information on how to use Zeus Rewrite on our platform is available on our Knowledge base:
    – http://www.names.co.uk/knowledge/search_articles.php5?query=zeus+rewrite

    Ive uploaded a rewrite file as well as a .htaccess file but still have this permalinks issue. I seem to be getting a index.php in permalink to rfedirect to the home page and i’m not sure why?

    e.g http://webyogi.co.uk/index.php/brighton-digital-marketing-consultancy-services/

    my rewrite file looks like this ….

    #Zeus webserver version of basic WordPress mod_rewrite rules
    map path into SCRATCH:path from %{URL}

    look for file at %{SCRATCH:path}
    if exists then goto END
    look for dir at %{SCRATCH:path}

    if exists then goto END
    ##### FIX FOR LOGIN/FORGOTTEN PASSWORD/ADMIN ETC #####

    match URL into $ with ^/wp-.*$
    if matched then goto END
    set URL = /

    I’m really tearing my hair out & the host is really not helping. Can anyone throw any light on what need to do now?

    thanks 🙂

    Ya Register365 are on Zeus – Why????

    Try this:

    #Zeus webserver version of basic WordPress mod_rewrite rules
    map path into SCRATCH:path from %{URL}
    look for file at %{SCRATCH:path}
    if exists then goto END
    look for dir at %{SCRATCH:path}
    if exists then goto END
    ##### FIX FOR LOGIN/FORGOTTEN PASSWORD/ADMIN ETC #####
    match URL into $ with ^/wp-.*$
    if matched then goto END
    ##### FIX TO ALLOW SEARCH TO WORK #####
    match URL into $ with ^/(.*)
    set URL = /index.php/$1

    Try this script, I have had loads of experience with these Zeus servers, this seems to do the trick for lots of users;
