Hi everyone,

I recently installed the JoomSEF on my Joomla (Sunfire) Website with Plesk, IIS and the Ionics Isapi Rewrite. I'm using the rewrite rules suggested by the JoomSEF documentation. Everything is working perfecly alright, unless I want to access the Joomla administrator site under 'www.mydomain.com/administrator/index2.php'. When I try to do so, IIS replies with a '404 - Not found'.

Further more I have some other domains running with my IIS 'www.myotherdomain.com' and 'www.mytotallydifferentdomain.com'. Unfortunatly, when I'm using the rewrite rules suggested by the JoomSEF documentation, IIS rewrites the URL for ALL domains. But I want it to do it for 'www.mydomain.com' only.

These are the rules, I'm usig:

########## Begin 3rd Party or Core SEF Section
#
RewriteCond %{URL} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR] ##optional - see notes##
RewriteCond %{URL} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /(.*) /index.php [L,U]

Ideas, anyone?

Hi. i seem to have the same problem. I have been using the joomsef component on my site http://www.borderterriers.se without problems. But since i upgraded the site from joomla 1.012 to joomla 1.015 i cannot acess my administrator backend. i get a .404 errormessage from joomsef. when i type in the url: borderterriers.se/administrator/ i get redirected to borderterriers/administrator/installation/ and get the errormessage. Any solutions?

did you get an answer?

No, I didn't get an answer.

Joomla is for a LAMP environment, Lanix, apache, mysql, PHP

windows is designed for a .net environment and IIS and is not designed for htaccess.

.htaccess does not work the same in windows and you will need to have your host make the changes, if they know how, which I doubt.

you will run into other issues down the road,

solution

move to a LAMP server

or now that I have reread your question, your upgrade corrupted your site, can you restore a backup to the pre upgrade version of your site?
