To see the .htaccess file you can use a ftp-client called Filezilla. It's excellent for tis kind of work, because it also works well to change the access rights on files.

On what version of PHP are you? I had similar problems and it was related to JoomSEF not being compatiblem with PHP 5. When we had the site moved to a PHP 4 server it started working.

Our problem now is that JoomSEF generateds so incredibly many MySQL-calls, that we have reached the roof of the allowd calls of 360.000 calls per hour set by the hosting company.

I have no idea what causes this..

Check if the PHP version is in the 4.x.x branch. I have found that JoomSEF does not work on PHP 5.x.x

It's a standard Joomla .htaccess file from version 1.0.12, and yes, I have commented out on the right places. Just to have it said: I have more that 30 Joomla installations running, so I do know what is where.

I copied the files over from the old site. Then I uploaded the core Joomla-installation and overwrote the copied ones - in case there was any problems with corrupted files.

I also re-installed JoomSEF - just to have it done.

I believe I have done all there is to do looking at it from a seasoned developers viewpoint.

My personal believe is that there might be compatibility issues with the new host.

That is also why I ask in the official forums of Artio - to get a comment or suggestion how to rectify the problem.

I just turned off JoomSEF, so the built in SEF in Joomla took over. Everything works fine with Joomla's sef, and it stops working when JoomSEF is turned on again. I have done all the purge-stuff as well in JoomSEF.

The database is on the new host, and I imported all data from the old one. There was no problems with the import, and as mentioned abobe - everything works as expected without JoomSEF.

The only links that actually works with Joomsef turned on, is the first level links that goes to the section pages.

After moving a site to a new host, almost all the pages returns a 404 error. When I turn off JoomSEF the site behaves normally.

What should I look for in the configuration to resolve this issue? The site is in production and there is pointing in hundreds of links to the sub-pages so this is rather urgent to solve for us.

I have upgraded to JoomSEF 1.5, and it is the paid version.

I have just checke the http-headers, and it actually sends a 301 when I click categories and pages.

Here is the header info I get:

HTTP/1.x 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 20:58:45 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.59
Content-Encoding: gzip
Vary: Accept-Encoding

So, it looks like there is a bug somewhere. Any ideas what I could do to rectify this problem? It's pretty important to get a solution - a temporary or permanent one.. My client is PISSED :(

I have checked with the new version you sent me. It rewrites now, but sends any requests to categoires or pages to the frontpage. Any ideas what to do?

Thank you Michal for your prompt reply. I will check if the new files works better and report back here when I know more.

I have just installed version 1.4.2 paid version, and it does not rewrite the url's at all. Any clues what might be the problem? I have done everything the installer suggests regarding the .htaccess file, and actually version 1.4 did rewrite as it should.

I also had the problem with all url's sending me to the frontpage with version 1.4, so I was hoping the paid version would solve that. But now all the url's are with Joomla's inbuilt SEF instead.

Yes. I use it at the url above. It gives url's like /smf-1.html and not the full title of the post or the titles of the forums.

I have tried it with version 1.1 of SMF and Joomla 1.0.11
With those versions it gives the url's as it's supposed to.<br><br>Post edited by: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , at: 2007/04/03 21:04

I use the Orstio version of the bridge - if anyone cares ;)

I wonder if I am am the only one that has problems getting the payed plugin for SMF to work with SMF 1.1.2? Are there any plans to get it to work soon, or do I have to ask for the money to get refunded? As it is now, it only shows the urls as www.dittnettsted.no/smf-3.html and does not rewrite the url's as it's supposed to.

We use Joomla version 1.0.12 and SMF version 1.1.2

Yeah. I have the same problem, so this must be a bug somewhere.

I have JoomSEF version 1.4 and SMF extension installed.

Joomla version 1.1.2<br><br>Post edited by: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , at: 2007/03/20 01:27
