Hi,
Open JoomSEF's URLs Manager and find the "clinical-psychologist/karen-berger" SEF URL generated for ListBingo. Please post its associated Real non-SEF URL, so I can check if there's any problem with it.

Before doing this I deleted all the URL's just to be sure we were clean.

The SEF URL is www.alliedpages.co.za/professional-categ...ologist/karen-berger
The Normal URL is www.alliedpages.co.za/index.php?option=c...s.view&Itemid=48

I always get 500 Internal Server Error.

I would like to note that i am struggling with JoomSEF and the Listbingo addon. I think its best to try first get Joomsef to work on its own. Once that works I will try get the Plugin to work.

I am also using the free version of Joomsef, but agree to buy it if I can get it to work.

I am happy to show my .htaccess file or whatever else is required

Here is my .htaccess file which i have 777 permissions (as supplied to me by Listbingo Support)

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /lb14/lb14

Yes, the 500 Internal server error is usually associated to some problem with .htaccess file.
From the SEF URL you supplied it seems that your Joomla installation is in the root directory of the web server, but you have /lb14/lb14 set as RewriteBase in your .htaccess.
Try changing the RewriteBase line in your .htaccess file to:

If that doesn't help, try removing the "DirectoryIndex index.php" line from the .htaccess file.

Thanks for your reply.

This is the top of the .htaccess file now.

#DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

I now only get 404 errors whether #DirectoryIndex index.php is on or off.

i have asked my web host and they say everything should work.

I am getting frustrated. Is the best option to pay for support and get someone to install this for me?

Would love to get this working today.

First try using the default Joomla htaccess file - just rename the htaccess.txt to .htaccess in your Joomla directory.
If it doesn't work with it, purchasing the installation service will probably be the easiest solution: www.artio.net/e-shop/joomsef/joomsef-ins...stallation-on-apache
