SEF URL's Not working

Post by jbassil » Tue Apr 04, 2006 10:16 pm

Hi - I tried to enable the "Search Engine Friendly URL's" option on my Joomla site and content item links are not working, however component item links are. Any ideas? I get a resource not found error when a content menu item is selected similar to:
'An appropriate representation of the requested resource /content/view/13/26/ could not be found on this server.'

Some insight would be much appreciated.

thx

You must rename the file htaccess.txt to .htaccess in order to make SEF work.

Is this an original .htaccess file? Meaning, did it come with a realease of Joomla or did you have to tweak it to work properly?

FYI...I tried the suggested .htaccess file, and could not login to my admin panel. A pop-up continually appeared asking me to "please enter password". The page in the background showed some php code posting form variables and submitting them...not sure what happened.

jbassil,
the file posted by nibra is from 1.0.7 or ealier. NOT RECOMMENDED to use that file.

1. are you on a linux server that has mod_rewrite enabled?
2. try these edits:


please try to edit your file as follows:
##  Can be commented out if causes errors, see notes above.
Options FollowSymLinks

to:
##  Can be commented out if causes errors, see notes above.
# Options FollowSymLinks



if that doesn't work, try
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

to
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

both with and without first suggestion commented out.

It is from 1.0.7. The only change I made is to add PHP5 support.

I know that, but the mentioned installation has too many core patches to make an unpaid upgrade (but it is the only one, I use with SEF). Thank you for your concern  ;)

no, the joomla! cache.

from the backend, go to system-->clean all caches
(if the option isn't there, that means chache isn't enabled, and i'll keep looking for the solution)

well...

here is what we know:
yoursite.com/content/view/13/26/

doesn't work. but:
yoursite.com/content/view/13/26

does work.

can you please try this:
in configuration.php, change $mosConfig_livesite from 'yoursite.com' to 'www.yoursite.com' and see if that does it?

okay...this is my last idea (at least for the moment)

with sef enabled, try creating a new menu item pointing to the same thing as one of the menu items that doesn't work. does this new one work?

i'm still thinking on this one. i really thought the sef bot was it...

Worked!

FYI...I added "SecFilterEngine Off" to my .htaccess file and now the built in SEF works great!

Thanks much!

For anyone freaking out because they still can't find a solution to this problem, here's my story.

I had Artio SEF URLs working perfectly, then every single page in my entire site starting throwing out 404's. The only change I made was to install Fireboard, but I disabled it and my website still wouldn't work. I read all I could find, including this thread, but nothing worked. I started randomly fiddling around with my .htaccess and found a solution.

I commented out these lines. I'm not sure of the consequences, but it fixed my site.

Code: Select all

Ok, I read through the topic and tried the things that other people have gotten success with, however, my site still isn't working.

This topic is fairly old so maybe the solutions have changed.

The following is my .htaccess file:

prince have you found any solution?
i have the same problem but in my case everything was fine, im using Artio SEF. it worked fine for me but one day all sites on my server using joomla stopped working with SEF enabled. SEF using .htaccess seems to be working for another site on the same server that is not joomla based. that gives me a hint that webserver settings should b ok.

i have tried installing joomla 1.5 b ut with same results. core SEF does not work anymore for joomla 1.0.x or 1.5. my system info is as
