Forum Archive - .htaccess issues - languages pages broken link

I have a Drupal 7 website and have been using GTranslate without problems, I updated the site with the latest version of Drupal 7 (V7.26) and now when people try to use the site's drop down menu they get a broken link ie the site cannot find the cached languages. I over wrote the .htaccess file (that was on the server) with the default .htaccess file (on the root level) from the Drupal upgrade, is this is the problem. I initially copied RewriteEngine On # gtranslate config RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /$1/$3 [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /$1/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1 [L,QSA] from another post on this forum but when I added this code to the default .htaccess error msg saying I needed the ionCube loader, I know I did this sometime ago when I asked my web hosting service provider to add this feature. I urgently need this to be resolved. www.alvanblanchgroup.com I have disabled the language drop down menu for the time being. Kind regards

I add the above code to .htaccess (saved in root level) and got the following error msg Site error: the file /[deleted by me/[deleted by me]/public_html/gtranslate/translate.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so to be installed by the website operator. If you are the website operator please use the ionCube Loader Wizard to assist with installation. I had already asked the web hosting service provider to do this and the site was fully working with no problems with languages - I really need help to get the languages back up I will in the meantime disable the language drop down menu again Thanks

Hi, Just have checked your website and can see that you fixed the issue. The translation is working properly.

Hi Yana The issue was that I overwrote the .htaccess file (containing the gtranslate code) with Drupal's default .htaccess. I also had amend (on my web hosting cpanel) the PHP version from 5.2 to 5.4 (for the IonCube Loader). I get another error message regarding the views module but this out of your remit. Thanks for replying anyway. Kind regards
