Hi
We have a site using ARTIO JoomSEF v1.3.3
www.rosendorff.com.au
Even through it loads fine in the web browser. It is however returning a 404 header. This makes search bots run crying and screaming.
Everything else works fine.
www.rosendorff.com.au/business-opportunities.html
This returns a correct 200 header. And so do all the other pages, except the default page in the web root.
We have looked at the .htaccess file but I can't see anything that sets the headers.
Has anyone else encountered this problem before? The problem is only with pages headers not matching the content.
This the .htacccess file below
