I have had the same problem.
I found that in the apache2 installation (opensuse 10) mod_rewrite was turn off.
I have changed my vhost configuration from
<Directory <website directory>>
AllowOverride None to AllowOverride all
and added the line Options +FollowSymLinks

After restarting apache joomsef is working

my default joomla sef is working fine but when I enable joomsef it stopped working. So it is not question of enabling mod_rewrite in my case. many thanks

Hello graaf,

First make sure that in JoomSEF's control panel in SEF Status tab everything is enabled.
What kind of 404 do you get? The standard apache one, or the Joomla's 404 (the white table with red header) or you get the "Not found" text with Joomla's template? Could you post a link to your website where I can see the problem?
