.htaccess in Joomla directory

[texc4]

Hello,
I use Joomla 1.0.x on a TS109
My web site is ok and all is working fine but I can't activate SEO ( url rewriting ) in joomla. I tried many things.
My .htaccess is OK, I think.

When SEO is activated I have 404 not found errors...

I think .htaccess is not read
I just follow Joomla standard recommandations Qweb/Joomla/.htaccess

Please Help!

WORKS FINE WITH:

If you ever tried to activate SEO in Joomla! without success, here is a tip.
This is a simple hack you can try if you can't make urlRewriting work.

First af all edit the file "/includes/sef.php" and replace the line 502

return $mosConfig_live_site .'/'. $string . $fragment;

with

return $mosConfig_live_site."/index.php/". $string . $fragment;

The forget anything about the .htaccess file!
Just activate SEO in Joomla! configuration.

Anyway, you should try this custom .htaccess file. Simply replace "pathtomydir" (bold) if your Joomla is not at the root of your webserver.

# Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL

# Update Your Joomla/MamboDirectory (just / for root)

# RewriteBase /pathtomydir
