    • I am putting a site together on a temporary URL. Today I enabled SEF URLs & Use Apache mod_rewrite in the global configuration. now any page apart from the homepage is rendering a 404 error. I've done this many times and never experienced this problem before. Any ideas?

    • It seems that SEF URLs do not work properly on a temporary URL, which actually makes sense

    • Hi Penn, what do yo call a temporary URL are you using a sub domain e.g. xxx.mydomain.com or are you using a directory style e.g. mydomain.com/mytestsite

      This will determine how the re-write is to be implemented, but either way you can use both with SEF although I strongly advice against enabling SEF when you are under development environment, as it can give you more trouble when you actually move it to the live location.

    • it's a temporary URL created within HG. I am migrating and redesigning a website that is still live. With HG you can add a domain without having to change the name servers first. So it means I've been able to upload all the new files onto HG and use a temporary URL to slowly construct the website. As soon as it's finished, I'll just change the name servers and the changes should take place within half an hour or so. It just takes time building the website and then having to move it manually

    • I see, not familiar with HG myself, we always use a DEV server and Jompack it up only takes a few minutes to move it, actually the longest part is often FTP'ing the archive.

    • Yes I always use Joompack if I am moving a site. I think the good thing about being able to use a temporary URL as I can build a website as I normally would come when it's finished, just change the name service and it shouldn't be more than an hour before the website goes live. It would still need a little bit of tweaking after, but at least it means that the old website is still online until the last-minute.

      The biggest pain is going to be migrating all users across at the last minute. It's not really a pain, it's more a worry in case anything goes wrong.
