Can you help..when I enable standard SEO for joomla.. all fails except home page
Posted 18 years 3 months ago
Hi peeps...this is a little niggly.. i have spoke to my web host who are more than willing to help, but between us we cant sort out a problem with one of my sites. If i was to enable the standard seo whilst setting up the site, any link from the home page will return a 404 error. Played with .htaccess for a couple of hours but to no avail.. the hosting co. has enabled mod_rewrite etc like the rest of my sites, however this one I just cant work out.... Site is using joomla 1.012 and the host as the latest verson of php etc running...

You have to unmark some more lines, here is the last part of my .htaccess, also remember to fill in your domain:
## Can be commented out if causes errors, see notes above.
Options FollowSymLinks

# mod_rewrite in use
RewriteEngine On
# Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL
# is not directly related to physical file paths.

you've activated both joomla core and 3rd party sections. choose only one and comment out the other. in the example below i have chosen the joomla core section and commented out the other. also remember to turn on SEF in your backend global config.
########## Begin - Joomla! core SEF Section
############# Use this section if using ONLY Joomla! core SEF
## ALL (RewriteCond) lines in this section are only required if you actually
## have directories named 'content' or 'component' on your server

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(content/|component/) index.php
#
########## End - Joomla! core SEF Section
########## Begin - 3rd Party SEF Section
############# Use this section if you are using a 3rd party (Non Joomla! core) SEF extension - e.g. OpenSEF, 404_SEF, 404SEFx, SEF Advance, etc
