Problem with .htaccess and SH404SEF

[jordi512]

Hiya people.

I'm having a problem with my .htaccess file and Joomla.

When I enable rewriting mode with .htacess I get the following error message:

public_html/index.php was not found on this server.

If anyone could help it would be amazing!!!

Here is my .htacess file:

Code: Select all

Try editing your configuration.php file to include your live site url.

Code: Select all

var $live_site = 'http://yourdomain.com';

Just tried this and no such luck.

I could provide you with details for my site in a pm if you would be willing to look?

Thank you

I can have a look if you want to PM the details.

Check with your host whether the server has mod_rewrite enabled.

Check with your host whether the server has mod_rewrite enabled.

Will email them now. Thankyou.

It looks to me like mod_rewrite is not enabled. Everything appears to be configured correctly. What did you find out from your host?

I emailed the guy and he assured me it is enabled. Really stuck not sure what to do/where to go.
