mod_rewite and staticpage article?

[Guest]

I am using the staticpage generator. I am using a permalink to point: i.e., /index.php?/pages/about.html .

Only works with rewrite off.

Thoughts?

When you're using URL rewriting, you cannot use the "index.php/?..." scheme -- you'll need to use a scheme like "/pages/about.html".

So you need to decide whether to use URL rewriting URLs, or non-URL rewriting URLs, you can't use both interchangingly.

I guess the staticpage plugin could be patched to allow both, but I don't think this is really required. It's better to have a central URL scheme in your blog than to use two different methods, IMHO...
