    • Yes I see that but for now its just a copy of OpenSEF 2.0.0 RC5 SP2
      "uSEF 1.0.0 is a copy of the abandoned OpenSEF 2.0.0 RC5 SP2 package. This package is already used by a vast number of people and it is too good to simply let it die. As the project was released under the GNU GPL licence this is perfectly legal. A big thank you to Marko Schmuck and other developers for producing this package.

      I'm sure my issues is with the .htaccess file.
      Could someone post a working .htaccess file for me to compare to mine?
      Dumb question I'm using apache2, could this be the issue?
      Also when I look at apache2.conf I see that it refernces htaccess.txt however changing this to .htaccess has no effect on any of the SEF.
      ???

    • IT WORKS!!
      Here is what I did.
      I checked for a instance of "rewite" in the PHP info in joomla/system/system info/php info. The 1st time I did this I saw url_rewriter.tags and qucikly went on thinking all was OK. So in going back through this I discovered that in fact mod_rewite was not loaded.
      So I ran sudo a2enmod rewrite and got that it was allready installed but not loaded. Then I ran /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload. A quick check of php info showed that mod_rewrite was running.
      Then I edited etc/apache2/apache2.conf to use .htaccess instead of htaccess.txt
      Rebooted apache and it works! :o
      Hope this helps someone in the same situation.
