Hi Peter

Would you have a URL to a example of this issue? Have you tried enabling URL re writing?

Ciarán

Yes, here: http://www.cechealthcarecoding.com/
you will need srap and srap12 to get into the site, front and back.

Hello

Have you since resolved this issue as your links are now working correctly?

Ciarán

If I select the About Us menu option, the url is http://www.cechealthcarecoding.com/index.php?option=com_content&;view=article&id=101&Itemid=561

I would expect to see http://www.cechealthcarecoding.com/about-us

I believe this means the urls are not SEF (this is confirmed by the option in the global configuration of the website).

If I switch the "Use Search Engine Friendly URLs" to Yes, the About Us now gives an internal server error...

Am I wrong/missing something?

Hi Peter

In your Global Config try enabling URL re writing. Please note that for this to work correctly you will need to rename your htaccess.txt to .htaccess in the root of your Joomla installation. This will remove the index.php from your URLs.

Ciarán

Have done that, and it causes the internal error listed above. I have also compared the .htaccess file with a site where it does work, where the following is inserted, and I have tried with it in and out...

<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_ConfigPath /
<Files php5.ini>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
</IfModule>

Apologies but I am out of my depth here.

Hello

The following article is rather old but all the information would be still very relevant.. http://www.scribd.com/doc/2300167/Joomla-v-1-5-Configure-and-troubleshoot-SEF-URLs

Thank you again Ciaran!

Sorted.

The following line needed to be activated in .htaccess:

RewriteBase /

Great .. thank you for the update.
