Hi,
I have problem with top menu when using SEO enable and/or sh404sef. Menu links lead to Not Found page. When I turn off Joomla SEO and sh404sef, all work ok.
I am using Joomla 1.5.7 on localhost for the moment.
You can check the template here http://www.shape5.com/demo/index.php#
Template is February - Forever ACE
Please help me to figure out this issue.
Thanks

Re: Top Menu does not work with sh404sef or Joomla SEO
So let me be a lil more specific
With SEO on it shows http://localhost/Joomla!-License-Guidelines but leads to 404
With SEO off it shows http://localhost/1/index.php?option=com ... 5&Itemid=2
and the page it shows ok

Re: Top Menu does not work with sh404sef or Joomla SEO
You'll need to configure your apache server to use php 5 by renaming the htaccess.txt to .htaccess
Yes, that's (dot)htaccess
In addition, you'll need to add the following two lines of code to the htaccess file:
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4
and make sure the Rewrite Engine is turned on by uncommenting it, if it is commented with a hash in your install. Here's what my htaccess file looks like. Note: php_flag register_globals are not set here, My host has already configured that for me:
Try this and see if that fixes your SEO woes.

Re: Top Menu does not work with sh404sef or Joomla SEO
Hi GameDaddy
Reloaded the site and got the following message:
"You have chosen to open http://www.mytestsite.com which is
a: application/x-httpd-php
from: http://mytestsite.com
What should Firefox do with this file?"
So I had to revert to previous version of the .htaccess files.
Like the users above, everything on my site was working fine until I upgraded to 1.5.7, now, if I activate "Search Engine Friendly URL's" in global admin, I get 404 errors on most of the pages.
Thanks
Chris
I added the code to my .htaccess file (mine was already running php5 with Rewrite Engine on), backed up the original and uploaded the new version.GameDaddy wrote: Try this and see if that fixes your SEO woes.

In my case it was a Firefox issue, I checked the site with Safari and Opera and no problem. In the end I cleared all the Firefox cache and it was fine?suavemart wrote:I got the same problem - anyone manage to solve it?
