SOVLED - Clients site is down - URL's are doubling up..

Post by myaviation » Thu Apr 01, 2010 6:18 pm

Ok - this is so strange my site was working fine but today I was just going to update a clients site.. and this is happening. I'm using

1.5.15

Search Engine Friendly URLs ON
Use Apache mod_rewrite ON

When you go to the the site it loads find but ANY link is doing this

http://www.ifrsimclub dot com/ifrsimclubjoomla/about-us (please edit link in browser just don't want search engines to locate this one - thanks)

as this should be just http://www.ifrsimclub dot com/about-us

Its putting in my ROOT of my actual folder that its in.. This just started - Some of my links are actual going to the my main ROOT folder website..

Not sure what got changed - It was all working fine 2 days ago.. plus i havn't worked on the site at all >:(

Here is my .htaccess file (same one i use in my other site on same server)

Code: Select all

Use Apache mod_rewrite ON


And then cleared the cache - and turn them back on and its working again..
