My hosting is with netfirms.com.
I am having a problem with JoomSEF (same issues with open-serf)
I have SEO enabled on Joomla and works.
mod_rewrite does work. I tested it manually.
I have JoomlSEF enabled.
My .htaccess is as follows
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /test
########## Begin - Joomla! core SEF Section
############# Use this section if using ONLY Joomla! core SEF
## ALL (RewriteCond) lines in this section are only required if you actually
## have directories named 'content' or 'component' on your server
## If you do not have directories with these names, comment them out.
#
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR] ##optional - see notes##
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(content/|component/)(.*) index.php/$1$2
#
########## End - Joomla! core SEF Section
########## Begin - 3rd Party SEF Section
############# Use this section if you are using a 3rd party (Non Joomla! core) SEF extension - e.g. OpenSEF,
404_SEF, 404SEFx, SEF Advance, etc
#
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR] ##optional - see notes##
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
#
########## End - 3rd Party SEF Section
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My problem is that SOME of the SEF links work and others don't. The ones that do not work give a 404 error "FILE NOT FOUND: test/index.php
Now......under netfirms control panel I have the directory "test" that points to my MAIN url. (ie
www.mysite.com)
Note this is NOT
www.mysite.com/test.
If you look at the htaccess file I have "RewriteBase /test" however if I remove this ALL links only reload the main
www.mysite.com page.
Any suggestions?
With Netfirms I have access to mod_rewrite and the following:
AuthType
ErrorDocument
RewriteEngine (RewriteRule, RewriteBase, RewriteCond)
Redirect
Options
IndexOptions
IndexIgnore
Thanks in advance
