Instructions to enable SEO PRO (Apache web server)

Inside the Elxis root folder you will find a file called htaccess.txt. Open this file with a text editor such as notepad, pspad, editpad, etc. Find this line:

# RewriteBase /YourElxisDirectory/

Remove the comment # and replace the "/YourElxisDirectory/" with the relative path to your Elxis installation. In most cases this will be just a slash "/". So, that line will become:

RewriteBase /

If your site is located in a sub-directory you should use something like this:

RewriteBase /mysite/
