Hi,

I have the following problem, my pagination links do not work.  
At the bottom of my blog the links say: [http://myblog/?page=2](http://myblog/?page=2), ?page=3,  
…  
But they don’t seem to work. When I add the name of the controller, they  
do  
work: [http://myblog/log?page=2](http://myblog/log?page=2).

Any suggestions?

I made a new route like this:  
map.connect “page/:page”,  
:controller =\> “log”,  
:action =\> “index”  
That does work, but you have to enter the route first in the browser:  
[http://myblog/page/2](http://myblog/page/2), after that the links work great. But when I reload  
the  
index page, the links at the bottom again say [http://myblog/?page=2](http://myblog/?page=2).  
How can change this so they also say [http://myblog/page/2](http://myblog/page/2) on my index  
page.

Any help would be great.

Maarten H.

Oh, sorry, the [myblog.com](http://myblog.com) link was just an example 🙂  
Didn’t realize it was an actual link.

Problem is solved, it was an caching issue.  
I had to expire the page and now all is well!
