create a new file in notepad with the following:
DirectoryIndex index.php RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule (.*) index.php
Save it as htaccess.txt.
Upload it via FTP to your server root ie. put it alongside your configuration.php and globals.php files
Then with FTP, rename it to .htaccess (If you're using filezilla FTP, right click and rename)
Go to your admin panel>Global Configuration.
In the SEF tab, select 'enable' and save.
From the top menu of your admin panel, select >components>Artio JoomSEF.
In the artio joomsef control panel, select 'configuration'
in the configuration panel, select 'enable' and save.
let us know if you have a problem with that. - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

Thanks GollumX
I did as you say but my (one) link at http://bucks-arms.co.uk/ now says "Not Found"
Look, I'm sure you know what you're doing but I had no end of problems when I tried this before and ended up asking my hosters about it and they just flicked some switches (don't ask) and then it worked on my site at jon-jackson.co.uk - so maybe best to wait til next week and I'll ask them again - after all it's what they get paid to do? - Last Edit: 17 years 7 months ago by Jon Jackson.

i don't mind helping, and i reckon if you master this once you won't have to depend on anyone else again. your call really. whatever suits your fancy Jon
one question. is the site in the root or is it installed in a subdirectory? - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

You're right like I said previously I'd like to get to grips with it. I seem to remember when I did my site, they (hosters - netcom.co.uk) told me something about types of htaccess files they 'allowed'. Which I don't understand really but they 'allowed' the htaccess file for my site and said 'shall we fix it for all your Joomla sites?' (I have 20+ Joomla sites on my books now). I left it there really, intending to get back to it and include SEF in my general workflow if you know what I mean?
So yes, I'd appreciate some help, pro if you like. But I think Netcom have to flick the switches? Unless you know otherwise?

thats strange. there is only one type of .htaccess file. i suppose they meant types of commands you can put in the .htaccess file.
the only thing really that we need them to be running as far as i know is mod_rewrite. if you click on the link in your menu, you'll see that the url's have in fact been rewritten, so mod_rewrite is running.
try this one instead, replace everything in your .htaccess with this, doubtful but try anyway:DirectoryIndex index.php RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule (.*) index.php
If that doesn't work, then definitely get some advice from your host. Be sure to post back if they say everything is set up correctly at their end and you still can't get it to work.

Thanks Again, but no luck with your second try. I'll speak to hosts after the weekend and like you say if all is set up I'll post again.
All good things

Just to let you know that my hosts have enabled htaccess (whatever that means) so SEF component will now work on my sites. Thanks for bring it to my attention

- What a lovely site! I had no interest in the topic, but the site intrigued me - exactly what it should do!
