Hi! I really need your help now. Wasted 2 night with sh404sef component for joomla 1.5.7 and nothing working. I need to make a friendly search url for site - fastpokernews.com. Now my links looks like fastpokernews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=82:world-poker-tour-canada-in-final-stage&catid=34:wpt&Itemid=55 Sef component included in joomla 1.5 is't work. If i turn it on, all links stays long and if i want to open some page, i always come back to home page. I installed sh404sef. First time, all pages on my site crushed. Then i changed htaccess.txt to .htaccess and turn "no index.php?" mode in the admin panel of this component. Home page working fine after it, and all links changed to short, but when i clicking on the links, i still get 404 page. Old long links is working fine. In the admin panel of 404 i see table with old and new links, and all seems to be fine. Somewhere i read that i need correct .htaccess file, but i can't find it anywhere. Maybe i doing something wrong? Can anyone help me? I really need correct urls. Thanks.
# # mod_rewrite in use # RewriteEngine On # Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL # is not directly related to physival file paths. # Update YourMamboDirectory (just / for root) # RewriteBase /YourMamboDirectory # # Rules # RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php Code (markup): that`s the htaccess you will need to use , just change the # RewriteBase /YourMamboDirectory/ to be( # RewriteBase / ) in your joomla was uploaded on the html directory , and use (# RewriteBase /Yourjoomla direcotry ) if you uploaded it in another folder . have a nice time
