Can't get JoomSef working, ready to purchase. 14 years, 2 months ago #14709

Hi all,

Raidenhttpd web server running on Vista.
JoomSef 3.7.4
Joomla 1.5.15
Joomla template = JA_Purity_II
JoomSef reports all installed and functioning.
Core SEF enabled etc.
Joomla root = C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\content\
Web root for Joomla = www.mydomain.com/content

Have tried absolutely everything in my .htaccess file to get this working to no avail. Can anyone please help me. I've looked so hard on the JoomSef site I can't fine the example .htaccess file.

My homepage and everything else is a 404 error. If I turn of SEO in global configuration I get back my site. Everything in JoomSef is default.

I'd post the .htaccess file here but I've changed it so much.......

Based on the above can somebody post an example of a .htaccess file that should work for me, or point me in the right direction.

Would love to buy this, but only after I get the free version running.

Ian.

Hi,

Ok, under Advanced I changed "Fix index.php links:" to NO. Now I can get my homepage, but everything else gives me 404.

I found a .htaccess file in the forums, looked pretty new so have been playing with it......I've changed everything but still no joy.

Help!

Hi,

A bit of digging, example:-

One of my original URL's:-
content/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=15&Itemid=27

SEF URL:-
digital-slr-photos/

But the Old Non-Sef Url is listed as:-
index.php?option=com_content&id=15&view=category

Is this right?

Ian.

Hiya Ian, I have the same issue as yourself and have also posted on here, to no avail. My frontpage is working but getting 404 header on the rest of the pages, I'm totally stumped and Looks like the support is non extension here so i might install sh404SEF which is suppose to be another good extension.

Check it out here dev.anything-digital.com/sh404SEF/.

But if you get this solved can you let me know.

Regards
Gary
