    SEF and .htaccess

    Posted 17 years 6 months ago
    • I'm having problems with SEF URLs using the current .htaccess

      I have no problems when using this .htaccess
      ##
      # @version $Id: htaccess.txt 1570 2005-12-29 05:53:33Z eddieajau $

      Options +FollowSymLinks
      #
      #  mod_rewrite in use
      #
      RewriteEngine On
      ##
      ## NOTE!
      ## When using multiple Joomla sites or other web applications in sub-folders,
      ## you must explicitly turn the RewriteEngine off or use the settings
      ## recommended for the application
      ##
      #  Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL
      #  is not directly related to physical file paths.
      #  Update YourJoomlaDirectory (just / for root)
      # RewriteBase /YourJoomlaDirectory
      #
      #  Rules
      #
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|js|pl|txt)$
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

      But Joomla reccomends using the latest .htaccess file, below. I can't seem to figure how to set it in order to work with core SEF. Any help appreciated.

      # The line just below this section: 'Options FollowSymLinks' may cause problems
      # with some server configurations.  It is required for use of mod_rewrite, but may already
      # be set by your server administrator in a way that dissallows changing it in
      # your .htaccess file.  If using it causes your server to error out, comment it out (add # to
      # beginning of line), reload your site in your browser and test your sef url's.  If they work,
      # it has been set by your server administrator and you do not need it set here.
      #
      # Only use one of the two SEF sections that follow.  Lines that can be uncommented
      # (and thus used) have only one #.  Lines with two #'s should not be uncommented
      # In the section that you don't use, all lines should start with #
      #
      # For Standard SEF, use the standard SEF section.  You can comment out
      # all of the RewriteCond lines and reduce your server's load if you
      # don't have directories in your root named 'component' or 'content'
      #
      # If you are using a 3rd Party SEF or the Core SEF solution
      # uncomment all of the lines in the '3rd Party or Core SEF' section

    • Hi Andy, yes I did, but I have done vvery little with .htaccess

      It appears to me that everyyhing in that .htaccess is commented out? Am I right?
      I don't have "content" or "component" directories.

    • yes, it appears in this version you have to uncomment the part that applies to you, either built in sef, or third party.

    • In the veersion that works, the following are not commented out:
      Options +FollowSymLinks
      #
      #  mod_rewrite in use
      #
      RewriteEngine On

      Do I uncomment these in the latest version also?

    • Try this one...
      It works out of the box.
      The info's that come with the component makes it very easy to setup.
