Hello Guys,

I'm having problem with the Search Engine Friendly URLs (SEF) in joomla 1.6

I'm running my webpage on a SHARED WEBHOSTING SERVER of Godaddy.

When I turn on Search Engine Friendly URLs (SEF), I get a blank page. Even if I change the .htaccess.txt to .htaccess, I still get the same blank page.
I've also uncommented this line from the .htaccess file "RewriteBase /"

Now I ran out of ideas.

What can I do?

Please remember that I can't modify any files from the /etc/apache folder of the linux because I'm using a shared webhosting.

regards,

Angel

A blank page normally indicates a PHP error has occurred. However most host providers will disable error reporting to the page to help improve security (error messages can often provide information that will aid in malicious attacks)

The way to find out what the error is, is to enable error reporting within Joomla! which you can do in Site->Global Configuration->server->error reporting

Set it to either simple or maximum.

Load you page up again, and see if an error is shown.

If you still get a blank page, then we to get a little more aggressive,
Edit your /index.php (in the root of your Joomla! install)
and add the following somewhere near the top, within the <?php tag

Code:
 error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
 ini_set("display_errors", 1);


The sadly, the above wil not report parse errors. So if you are still getting a blank page, you need to find out if you have access to error_log which many hosts give these days. If you are unsure, ask your hosting provider for access to your apache error_log file.


Alternatively you can edit your /.htaccess file (create it if it doesnt exist)

and enter

Code:
php_value display_errors 1
php_value display_startup_errors 1


Provided your host supports user htaccess files, this will show any error your site is generating.

Once you have your error, you can start to figure out why its happening.
