I installed Artio SEO. Turned SEF in global on, rewrite mod changed to .htaccess. I have Joomla 1.5.8/legacy. Php version 5.2.6. Mysql. This is what I put in my .htaccess file.... RewriteEngine on

# The line just below this section: 'Options +FollowSymLinks' may cause problems
# with some server configurations. It is required for use of mod_rewrite, but may already
# be set by your server administrator in a way that dissallows changing it in
# your .htaccess file. If using it causes your server to error out, comment it out (add # to
# beginning of line), reload your site in your browser and test your sef url's. If they work,
# it has been set by your server administrator and you do not need it set here.

I'm getting 404 errors. The new url appears but the error states it can't find the page. Let me also explain that I recently switched hosts, and changed templates. Everything was working fine before, but then I started having frontpage issues with a frontpage slider opening in frontpage and not in new window. Template company suggested disabling this extension... I uninstalled it and just reinstalled the newest version. This is a very valuable asset and would like to have it working again. Can you help me out with this. I may have messed up the format of this file.
