Joomla 1.5 problem.. iam living in HELL !

you are banned before you can help.. by the way.. am in no mood of spending $1000 on this.. sorry..

 

Have you got it sorted Sami?
Or are you still having issues with the Login?

#Options +FollowSymLinks

in the .htaccess file, upload the file... go eat some lunch and then come back and test it. GoDaddy has a delay in changes made to the .htaccess file. I think you may be able to work around that delay by renaming the .htaccess file on the server to htaccess.txt and then uploading the new one... but it may have just been a coincidence that it worked for me once.

Good luck!

 

Tried your solution buddy.. but even after a dozen meals.. the damn godaddy is giving me "server error 500" on various pages.. the homepage works fine either seo enabled or disabled..

 

delete your joomla... install joomla 1.5.5 and it works -.- dont ask questions... it works lol

 

i was wrong! it says it will work and it does... untill SEO is turned on.. i changed the file to .htaccess and still nothing.. what to do?

 

experiment before you post.. good luck buddy.. we both having same problem.. If anybody from Godaddy listening.. theres four letter word for you guys.. !

 

Hi there,

I too have the same problem before after turning on Joomla! built in SEF configuration.. and my site is at godaddy also.. but after patching the site with the patch provided at joomla forum the SEF works...

the patch can be found here :

http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=199&t=257555&start=60#p1185719

need to log in to be able to download the file..

the instruction to install the patch can be found here :

http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=199&t=257555&start=60#p1186700

Good luck.. click my playground to see it for yourself..

Have fun..

 

is it cunt or twat?

 

kidding with you buddy.. and taunting.. godaddy guys..

 

lol well im not with go daddy anyway.. and still having this issue.

 

mohaz your solution didnt work for me.. seems like there is no solution..

 

have you tried this, i was getting the same untill i done this and change the htaccess file name

sorry for stating the obvious

 

Are you using sh404sef? or Joomla's internet seo?

 

using joomla's default SEO.. the prob is with godaddy..

 

sh404sef works amazing and you dont need to change the htaccess file either.

 

no it doesnt.. it gives the same damn error.. anyways.. i've kicked godaddy for good !

 

I made it work for 2 Joomla based sites and one directory ... You may read the post here

Let me know if I can help in anyway.
