Hi, I'm posting this message as I had a problem where spiders would get a 404 page instead of my index.php on my site http://www.e-money-machine.com powered by Joomla! 1.0.5. I posted a frustrated question about this here also... http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=47257 Anyway, I don't know if anybody has noticed this problem with their Joomla! site also but apparently there is a serious bug that causes this. Here is how you can fix it: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,26361.msg152961.html#msg152961 Hope this post will save others from frustration. Happy new year!
Have you reported it in their support forum. As far as I know is that Joomlas final version will be sometime in 2006.
It's already being taken care of by the Joomla! developers and they say they're going to release the 1.0.6 version soon. Here is the thread: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php?topic=27126.new;topicseen#new
