Hi,

I cannot make JoomSEF work properly! I get a 404 error on any page. Can you help me?

Thanks !

Here is my environment:

- Apache 1.3.37
- PHP 4.4.4
- MySQL 4.1.21
- Joomla 1.0.11
- JoomFish 1.7
- JoomSEF 1.3.3

My main site is www.compu-zen.com, but I made a test copy under www.compu-zen.com/_sandbox/compuzen/

My .htaccess file:

DirectoryIndex index.php

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /_sandbox/compuzen/

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^compu-zen.com/_sandbox/compuzen/$
RewriteRule ^(.*) www.compu-zen.com/_sandbox/compuzen/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/_sandbox/compuzen/component/option,com) [NC,OR] ##optional - see notes##
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} mosConfig_[a-zA-Z_]{1,21}(=|\%3D) [OR]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [F,L]

My configuration.php file:

$mosConfig_absolute_path = '/home/compuzen/public_html/_sandbox/compu-zen';
$mosConfig_live_site = 'www.compu-zen.com/_sandbox/compu-zen';
