Before anyone grills me for not searching the forums, I tried it and nothing came up.

Right, I’m not sure if this is a JA issue or a Joomla! issue or what but I cannot get the SEF URLs to work on my site: http://www.lawprintpack.co.uk

I have tried the default SEO settings in the Global Configuration that you get when you install Joomla and no matter what combination of settings I do, the SEF URLs don’t work. Or I get the links changing to http://www.lawprintpack.co.uk/index.php/category-name but when I click on these menu links they don’t work.

I installed Artio JoomSEF as well but that doesn’t work either. I must be doing something wrong and I have no idea what to do :-[

Please can someone help me? What does everyone else use?

with the default Joomla sef have you renamed your htaccess.txt to .htaccess?
That often catches ppl out.

in the seo settings panel (admin area/global configuration) where you ticked the 3 boxes etc the second one (which requires you to change the htaccess.txt to .htaccess is called the apache mod_rewrite . . . see attached image

Are you in cPanel or Plesk ? Maybe there is a server issue, it’s not that dificult to have sef..enabled.

I really have NO idea at all why it is suddenly deciding to work, but it does. Thanks everyone, I don’t know what you did but something works now.

I was having a similar problem, but renamed htaccess, and enabled the mod_rewrite, and it works now. So, I can confirm this solution works.
