I'm running Joomla 2.5.8 and I'm trying to delete the stupid index.php so having SEO friendly URLs. Yet.. When enabled and rebuild' the menu, when I click on a menu item the site goes to the page without the /index.php/ BUT it returns a 404 page. However, when I manually type /index.php/ between the domain and the page, I see the normal page.

A few notes

I changed htaccess.txt to .htaccess

I removed the '#' before RewriteBase /

I added 'cms' to the directory path (RewriteBase /cms ) Since Joomla is in the /cms folder

However, the htaccess is in the SAME folder as Joomla itself, they both lie in a subfolder

In the root folder, where a different website is stored, there also lies a .htaccess file

Any suggestions guys?

Thanks!

Sounds like your config is OK. The htaccess with RewriteBase /CMS, should be in the /CMS folder. In Joomla you should have sef rules enabled and use mod_rewrite option enabled.

This could simply be a cache clearing issue.

  • One other thing I forgot, you should also configure the LiveSite entry in your configuration.php. I've found this helps on certain sites, the criteria for which I haven't managed to figure out yet. – BodgeIT Mar 24 '13 at 12:24
