Hello,

I have cleared the cache and purged Sef url, 301, 404, etc..

Now, if I click on a Menu Item called 'Legislacion', which has the Sef url /legislacion/ I get a message like this:



Joomsef has a register for that url. The sef url corresponds to this non sef url:



If I load the non sef url on the browser it loads the correct page. (a Content Section Table)

Any ideas?


PD: I have had to purge all because I have had a serious problem with sef-urls. Suddenly they stop to work. I payed Artio for web support but they have just given me generic advices that better should be added to the documentation of Joomsef instead of use them to simulate a support service that it is useless. In fact they haven't supported ANYTHING. For me, like for many others, my website represents thousands hours of hard work, and don't like to see it down even for one minute. At last, the only way to solve problems is to purge, with unpredictable results, like this I talk about, url duplicates, manual links to be reviewed... I'm really wondering if JoomSEF does worth all this work.

I have read the forum in deep but i haven't found any solution for my problem. It seems that .htaccess has something to do. Somebody has solved similar problems commenting out certain lines. But in those cases ALL sef urls cause the 'Forbidden...' message to appear. Not only ONE of them.

In my case only ONE sef url produces the message. One menu item.

It is VERY VERY FRUSTRATING.

What the *#@Ç& can i do?

After a while I discoved what was causing the problem:

In my server there is a directoy called /legislacion/ containing documents. That directory has exactly the same name that the menu item and that the sef url.

When the server looks for the sef url /legislacion/ expects an index file because the url match a server directory. If there is no index file, it response with the Forbidden status.


If you put an index file in the directory, the server response showing that index file (.html or .php it depends on the server configuration), not the real url corresponding to the sef url.

So the solution is either change the name of the sef url so that it don't match the directory name, or, change the name of the directory.

I think there is an .htaccess rule to prevent a related issue of Joomla SEO when you have a physical directory called '/content'

God.

I have to comment out the symlink line in my htaccess or I get that error
