I did before this question in Joomla forums, but no answer there
I hope someone can help me here.
I want to have a static content as frontpage, but don't know why I get "The page you are trying to access does not exist.
Please select a page from the main menu." when I try to enter the site from the http://www......com
With the main menu settings looks everything fine! The static page is this here: www.zeriyt.com/hyrja.html - Last Edit: 18 years 3 months ago by Evis Kurti.

i can't know for sure without more info but here's a suggestion.
i noticed you have SEF URI's, try setting the URI for your home page as index.php instead of the .html - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

I had the same problem when I tried to use seo url's at first as well. I'm not sure where I figured it out but I found a solution in adding a single line of code at the top of my .htaccess file:
DirectoryIndex index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=2&Itemid=18
This basically says that the first page to load when this directory is opened is the content item. And because I had seo turned on in Joomla, that DirectoryIndex command automatically gets re-written as well so you never see the index.php?... part at all. And then the rest of the pages work fine after the initial page is loaded.
So try adding that line and adjust your content id's. It might work for you

- Hmm.. i do this all the time. In fact both sporticus and exlier demo sites use static content as the front page. You just have to make sure it's the first item in the mainmenu and the other "com_frontpage" component is not published.

Andy,
It seems to me that what you said is exactly why I had tried as well but for some strange reason, the "home" page (first item in mainmenu) always came up as not existing. Which SEO component do you use? - -- ChurchWiz - Easy & Affordable Church Websites
