I've spent around 5 hours trying to get this to work. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any info to my problems online.
I'm trying to install a component for friendly urls in joomla 1.0.4
First I've got the latest version of seo404 and followed the installation instructions strictly like 200 times. Nevertheless, when i enable the component I get an error on http://www.mysite.com which says
Found
The document has moved here.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
.htaccess file is alright I guess it says:
"##
# @version $Id: readme.inc,v 1.3 2005/02/13 18:03:41 marlboroman_2k Exp $
# @package Mambo_4.5

RewriteEngine On

# this Options line

# Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL
# is not directly related to physival file paths.
# Update YourMamboDirectory (just / for root)
RewriteBase /
#
# Rules
#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php"
Please note! http://mysite.com without the www. works perfectly! But it's kinda senseless to keep that crap because half my traffic is going down the drain on that 500 error.
No luck
alright
uninstalled that sef404 thing
got the latest opensef component which is 2.0.0 something.
Installed following strictly the instructions(http://opensef.org/manual/installation.html). Got the old .htaccess file (the one i had before the sef404 installation).
Enabled the use.
Result: crappy urls something like: mysite.com/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/
so I thought maybe I'm under a curse or something. 5 hours go down the drain.
my question is: wtf?
