Cannot get past 404 errors with SEF URLs turned on

Post by stevefaber » Mon Jan 28, 2013 8:10 pm

Hi,

I'm really struggling to get SEF URLs/aliases working on my site. As soon as I turn on SEF URLs in global config, I can't access my site pages - I get 404 errors. I have renamed .htaccess.txt to .htaccess. I have edited configuration.php to set var $live_site to the root of my domain and to leave it blank ('') Joomla isn't installed in a sub-directory. My site is hosted on a public ISP, not my own machine.

As I hope I've indicated above, I have read and followed the trouble-shooting info that I've found on joomla.org and elsewhere, but I can't get a step further forward.

I have got AceSEF 1.5.21 Pro installed on my site - I don't know whether my problem is with AceSEF, or my Joomla installation, or my ISP.

I'd really appreciate any pointers for where to look and what to try next...

Thanks

Steve

I have been using tag meta extension in joomla. I will be pasting the alias and the SEF URL manually for best SEO results. I have ssen duplicate pages in Joomla for pages with html and without html, but have not came across 404 when sef URLs turned on.
