yeah, thought about that, which is why I uninstalled pretty much every component and addon that I could think of and once the system-SEF plugin was unpublished, voila, it worked.

I am surprised that noone else has had this problem and that no admins have responded to either this post or my email within 48 hours.

Good thing I figured it out on my own.

Ok, after beating my head against the wall, reading through the forums, reading the manual for JoomSEF, I finally fixed the issue.

If you install Artio JoomSEF and after editing a URL under "Manage URL's" and then you get 404 page not found, go into the Plugin settings and disable the "System - SEF" plugin. There seems to be a conflict.

Now, I didn't see this anywhere in the manual unless I was looking in the wrong location, but I think this should be one of the main points to be aware of when installing.

My apologies if I overlooked any documentation, but just in case someone else can't find it, hopefully this will help.

JoomSEF appears to not be working. If I have it disabled, then my SEF url's are fine with the standard joomla features, but whenever I turn on JoomSEF, I get 404 or a redirect back to the home page with every link.

Installed and uninstalled multiple times. Installed directly from Artio server. Tried uninstalling components that I though would conflict and still not working. I do have RS Firewall Pro installed on the site

Anyone have any idea what is going on or what I may be doing wrong?

Recap:

1. SEF works with JoomSEF turned off
2. Get 404 with JoomSEF turn on
