Title: SEF URL's not working - at all
Post by: communion on July 06, 2012, 03:06:16 AM
I'm just getting 404 errors on my site. Joomla 1.5.26 with VM 2.0.8c

I've got Joomla SEF enabled, I have homepage set to Virtuemart Homepage, category links just give a 404 error. Any thoughts guys?

i have some issues with SEF too.
The problem for me is that the product links in the category page are not rendered correctly when SEO is enabled.

Have you tried to delete the cache and check for any error in the upgrade process.

Yep, expunged the cache and reinstalled with no errors. Still same issue.

We need someone to look at this, it's pretty much a showstopper on J1.5.26

Having someone looking at this would be really good. I'm on J2.5.6.

Just upgraded to 2.0.8c, Joomla SEF urls enabled and category menu links also give 404 errors.

have you tried to "re-create htaccess"  ?

I use akeebah admin tools to do this

Missed that one, recreating htaccess fixed my problem.

Hi BanquetTables.pro,

I use akeebah admin tools htaccess maker, to reate htaccess,

if you do not know how to make htaccess, you better use a tool for this.

Ok, I don't use the tool of Akeebah,
I would have thought the standard htaccess work out of the box for J! and VM.

I'll do some test and share my findings if any
