    SEF URLs / PHP problem

    Posted 16 years 1 month ago
    • I've gone around in circles now and am hoping you smart developers will take pity.......

      When I enable SEF by renaming the htaccess.txt to .htaccess i get problems. The hosting company has me placing this line of code in the htaccess.txt file:
      Create a .htaccess file and place the following line AddType x-mapp-php5 .php in it.

      So am i running into problems because I have both htaccess files in my root directory??
      the host is 1and1.com

      I am just not a PHP expert so your explanation is greatly appreciated.

      I have a school site here:

      www.nicsroyals.com

      here is the system information

    • First of all, you cannot have 2 .htaccess files in the same directory, it's impossible :)
      Second, tell your host to upgrade to PHP5. To make SEF work you just need to:
      Enable SEF in the Joomla backend.
      Enable Apache mod_rewrite
      Disable add suffix to URL's (it may conflict with some JS)
    • Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

    • May I suggest you to upgrade joomla also? We are now at 1.5.10 :cheesy:
