Server Details (Linux/Windows, Hosting service, etc) Linux/Host-Gator/C-Panel PHP version 5.3 Platform (name and version) Joomla! 2.5 Template/Extension (name and version) SolarSentinel 1.1 Link to the Issue new location: http://visualedgehosting.com/~dwl

Hi Guys,
I've migrated the db over from an older 1.5 site and the new site looks and works ok. However when I enable url rewriting, I get dead links- looking for index.php/ files clicking on any menu item other than the root. I have renamed the file to ".htaccess" and I didn't add anything extra except the apphandler for running PHP 5.3. I did see this as a comment however: # RewriteBase /~dwl/ (dwl s the account name and account directory).
My client's SEO organization is ready to start working, but I'd really like to get this resolved beforehand (if possible).
Is this a problem because I'm using a working directory?
Thanks in advance. - Last Edit: 11 years 2 months ago by Tim Miller. Reason: Solved!!!

Do you have the .htaccess for the version of Joomla you are currently using?
You should always start out with the default htaccess.txt for the joomla version your using. - Last Edit: 11 years 2 months ago by Joe Halleck.

Hi Joe,

- I would start with a fresh Joomla 2.5 htaccess.txt file. Possible you have a bad edit in the file.

I'm afraid that didn't help either.
I tried using the orig htaccess.txt ( adding "AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php"), and got a 404.
However the 404 now says this (after turning on url rewriting and changing file to .htaccess):
/home/dwl/public_html/index.php was not found on this server.
Not sure what is going on with directories here...would you like me to post the .htaccess file? - ----

Try adding the RewriteBase line back in:
RewriteBase /~dwl/ - Last Edit: 11 years 2 months ago by Joe Halleck.
