Hi, I have some issues on http://www.stgenix.co.uk/ returning 404s (if I follow a packet trace), but the page otherwise loads perfectly in any browser.

See trace:
3.693767 192.168.1.100 87.106.141.219 HTTP GET / HTTP/1.1
3.904350 87.106.141.219 192.168.1.100 HTTP HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found (text/html)

4.032504 87.106.141.219 192.168.1.100 HTTP HTTP/1.1 200 OK (text/css)
... the remainder of the requests complete OK with 200 or 304. It is just the first request that gets 404.

Can someone shed some light on this issue. I am concerned that search spiders will see it a 404 and not index the site correctly.

Thanks,

I didn't see any issue under IE6

Did you try this without your SEF turned on??

Note that using your home menu link gives you the following link http://www.stgenix.co.uk/home/.html

What's with the/.html? (note the period)

Thanks Dave,

The problem is related to the 404SEF Component - When SEF is enabled from the Global Configuration and disabled from 404SEF Configuration - the 404s dissapeared. I will get in touch with the 404SEF developers, see if they can help.

This is purely when requesting the root page (I am aware of the /home/.html, which is not the case in this issue).

Would you reccomend another SEF component/module which is well known and reliable? - I need proper .html URLs.
