I managed to get the pages back again working by following the instructions on a previous thread by
renaming htaccess.txt to .htaccess and removing the #'s in notepad in the 3rd party SEF section.

However, when i activate the SEF inside the global site configurations/SEo....
I get:
-----------------------------
FILE NOT FOUND: /joomla100/availability/index.php
404: Not Found
Sorry, but the content you requested could not be found
------------------------------
I have tried renaming the path inside the .htaccess file, but so far cannot find the combination to make it work.

my details are:

Absolute Path: C:/xampp/htdocs/JOOMLA100
Live Site: localhost/joomla100


------------------------------------------------------------------------
my .htaccess file reads:

# Begin - 3rd Party SEF Section############

# Use this section if you are using a 3rd party (Non Joomla! core) SEF extension - e.g. OpenSEF, 404_SEF, 404SEFx, SEF Advance, etc
#

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/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
#

########## End - 3rd Party SEF Section#########
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have tried all combinations but so far nothng works. Interesting that all links work with all combinations when I turn off the Global Site Setting for SEO.

Any help much appreciated.

Hi Craig,

if you're live site is in joomla100 subdirectory, try adding following line before RewriteConds:


Also change the /component/option,com in first RewriteCond to /joomla100/component/option,com.

Does anyone have any more information they can provide on this by chance?

I'm trying to run a test site on local host and it's something in my .htaccess that is screwing it up I believe.

I've gone into httpd.conf and changed the AllowOverrides to all.

But when I go to localhost now, it tries to download a page called localhost that is a php file. When I get rid of the htaccess and just do a hello.php test the page displays fine, but Joomla craps out with an error on JoomSEF passing header data.

I'm stuck as what else to try to change in htaccess or httpd conf

I'm having exactly the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
