TOPIC: forbidden access 404 and links don't work

forbidden access 404 and links don't work 16 years, 9 months ago #3867

Hey,

Hopefully you can help me!

I installed joomSEF activated everything and viewed my page -

All my page names had been changed to nice SEF urls but when clicked they all went to a 404 error page not found.

I then read that i needed to change the .htaccess - so i changed that and uploaded it. But when i uploaded this - my whole site went down and said I didn't have permission to view the site.

So i put the original .htaccess back in and it worked again.

Any help would be great!

This is my current .htaccess. I have changed this to 777 chmod and this didn't change anything.

With this code I can currently view my site and all the new SEF links although they all go to 404 error pages.

# The line just below this section: 'Options +FollowSymLinks' may cause problems

# 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.
#
# Only use one of the two SEF sections that follow. Lines that can be uncommented
# (and thus used) have only one #. Lines with two #'s should not be uncommented
# In the section that you don't use, all lines should start with #
#
# For Standard SEF, use the standard SEF section. You can comment out
# all of the RewriteCond lines and reduce your server's load if you

#
# If you are using a 3rd Party SEF or the Core SEF solution
# uncomment all of the lines in the '3rd Party or Core SEF' section

# In both the 'Standard SEF', and '3rd Party or Core SEF' sections the line:

# May need to be uncommented. If you are running your Joomla!/Mambo from

# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/test/component/option,com) [NC,OR] ##optional - see notes##
