TOPIC: Links give 404 errors

Links give 404 errors 17 years, 7 months ago #2008

I know there a billion of these posts - but none of the fixes have worked so I feel like I'm chasing my tail.


I have a new site at www.bsbcareers.com/v2/

My home page loads but none of the links work. What am I missing??? (I'm going to have a coniption fit if I can't get this working. :-)

My .htaccess looks like this:

Hey, I just checked out your site. It looks like you got everything working. I think I'm having the same problem as you. What did you do to fix that problem.

Re:Links give 404 errors 17 years, 7 months ago #2022

My httpd.conf file needed to have "AllowOverride ALL" added for the VHOST that I was trying to get it to work in.

Re:Links give 404 errors 17 years, 6 months ago #2028

Excuse, can you post the part of httpd.conf you changed

Re:Links give 404 errors 17 years, 6 months ago #2032

Is the httpd.config related to your server? Or is it a config within Joomla? if so where is it located?

Hello,

httpd.conf (or similar) file is mostly located in the configuration directory of your web server. On linux systems, this will mostly be /etc/httpd or /etc/apache.

However, your site is located at web-hosting company, you may not have access to this file. In such case, you should check with the system administrator to confirm, that the rules in .htacess will work correctly.

Best regards,
