    SOLVED SEF Component - can you check over my .htaccess?

    Posted 18 years 4 months ago
    • Hi guys, I have installed SEF correctly and mod_rewrite is active on my server. I'm still getting the 404 errors though.

      Can you please just check over my .htaccess file and let me know if there any problems with it?

      ## OpenSEF Simplified htaccess File
       
      ## Can be commented out if causes errors
      #Options +FollowSymLinks
       
      ## mod_rewrite in use
      RewriteEngine On
       
      ## If Joomla is installed in the web server root
      ## RewriteBase /
      ## If Joomla is installed in a sub-directory
      ## RewriteBase /directory_name_here
      RewriteBase /
       
      ## Begin 3rd-Party or OpenSEF Section
      #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 or OpenSEF Section
       
      ## Joomla Security Section (has nothing to do with SEF/SEO)
      ## Begin - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits
      ## If you experience problems on your site block out the operations listed below
      ## This attempts to block the most common type of exploit `attempts` to Joomla!
      # Block out any script trying to set a mosConfig value through the URL
      RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} mosConfig_[a-zA-Z_]{1,21}(=|\%3D) [OR]
      # Block out any script trying to base64_encode crap to send via URL
      RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode.*\(.*\) [OR]
      # Block out any script that includes a tag in URL
      RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\<|%3C).*script.*(\>|%3E) [NC,OR]
      # Block out any script trying to set a PHP GLOBALS variable via URL
      RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]
      # Block out any script trying to modify a _REQUEST variable via URL
      RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
      # Send all blocked request to homepage with 403 Forbidden error!
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [F,L]
      ## End - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits

      Also check if you have correctly activated the SEO function in the configuration panel.

    • Now I get this
      Internal Server Error
      The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

      Please contact the server administrator, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

      More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

      Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
