    I am using Joomla 1.5 via a web host. I have just purchased sh404sef from dev.anything-digital.com and the instructions are telling me that I need to set the $live_site in the configuration file to the url of the site i.e. www.blahblah.co.uk.
    When I do this and upload it I cannot get into the administrator site it goes to a 404 page and the front page doesn't display properly i.e. no theme, no pages and just the site navigation in the middle of the page.

    When I change the live_site field back to ' ' everything is back to normal.

    I am not technie so help in very basic language would be appreciated.

    Many thanks

    did you forget the http:\\ in the setting? var $live_site = 'http://www.yoursite.com'; Also I've found that sh404sef does not actually *require* the live site setting. My site works fine without it.
