Hi all I am having Major issues with my attempt and SEO'ing a site I have created. I have install JoomSEF and everything installed fine I have set up a few custom urls and i have also selected auto SEF on the rest of the urls. Within joomla I have enabled 'Apache mod rewrites' and also SEF to yes (See attached picture for settings) and every thing looks good with no errors.

BUT.. when I try to view my site the main page loads fine but all the other pages show a 404 error. I've tried a few different configurations and have also searched these boards for a solution but no one gives a straight answer.

Attached is a collection of photos showing my current configuration both in Joomsef and Joomla.

I have spoken to my hosting company and they assure me that rewrites are enables on the .htaccess file

Am I missing something really obvious?

Any help is much appreciated

Kindest Regards
Gary

P.s. my site address is /p://www.minecamps.com.au/

Did you get 404 from Joomla or Apache?

I use this code and solve the problem for me. I hope it help you.

Hi lubi , Thanks for the reply I think I am getting an Apache 404 message but not entirely sure I have attached a screenshot below so you can see for yourself.

Hi neopablix, where did you use this code in the configuration.php?
