I found this post after a 4th search of the forums,
www.artio.net/support-forums/joomsef-fre...ter-enabling-joomsef

at the same time as my partner was changing the index.html (an under construction page) to aindex.html

Bingo! it worked :)

Hi I have searched through the forums but still have same problem.

I'm trying the free version before committing to buy. Have downloaded latest version 3.5.5, installed, added code to .htacess

URLs have been rewritten & all looks fine, until I try frontend login, I can not login it redirects me to home page instead.

Running on Apache server.
only extra is syret installed added the syert joomsef extention

Is there anything obvious that I am missing? Would love to be able to use this with the site, but need frontend login to work.

Thanks
