Hello,
Thanks for the software and all your hard work.
I’m running on my localhost server and because I already have Joomla installed in the root, I am testing in a double sub directory: /MAMP/jvirtuemart/Joomla/
ie: .htaccess
# Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL
# is not directly related to physical file paths.
# Update Your Joomla! Directory (just / for root)
RewriteBase/MAMP/Jvirtuemart/Joomla/ (NOTE:) I have also tried this without the MAMP.
# Options +FollowSymLinks (NOTE:) I have also tried this uncommented.
#
# mod_rewrite in use
RewriteEngine On
The main thing is: My home page always loads no problem: Address:
http://localhost:8888/MAMP/Jvirtuemart/Joomla/
But, when I turn on (Use Apache mod_rewrite) and "Search Engine Friendly URLs" only the home page works. All other pages give me a 404 Not Found message including Virtuemart.
I have checked in the Apache file that the mod_rewrite is uncommented and in my php settings it shows that the module is loaded. I have double checked all versions for compatibility or known bug releases and I seem to have all the latest versions with no reported issues. After a solid week of working on this I just can’t think of any place else to look or things to try. I have tried this test for Apache:
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.google.com/
with no luck.
I have read the posts here and find no one with such a basic problem expressed. I do not use sh404sef
or any other third party plug-ins or components. It just doesn't work in the basic Joomla install.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Wayne
