Sorry, the second one was posted before I saw this one...

I have that set in the mambo/configuration.php, but still not working, will be debugging into this one if you give me a bit time

Should have thought of that myself.

The bug report mentions RewriteBase, but it didn't click that corrosponding entry should be

ErrorDocument 404 /cms/index.php

vice

RewriteBase /cms/

Thanks!

The problem: redirecting to /index.php instead of /mambo/index.php was because I had "ErrorDocument 404 /index.php" in the .htaccess, this should have been "ErrorDocument 404 /mambo/index.php"

It might be a good idea to specify this in the installation docs.

After I fix this though, when I click on an article, I get an error as "FILE NOT FOUND: /mambo/Newsflashes/Newsflash/Newsflash_2.htm" in the mainbody block (where the article was supposed to be displayed), just below this error, I get the article titled 404--which I created for installing 404 Sef...

Now, when I look at the database, mos_redirection table contains:

Newsflashes/Newsflash/Newsflash_2.html in the oldurl column. However, as you can see from the error above, in process_uri method of sef.php, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] returns the URL with the subdirectory, which is:

/mambo/Newsflashes/Newsflash/Newsflash_2.htm, so the database lookup returns empty there... And I think that is why it fails there...

Perhaps changing the sql in process_uri()

PHP Code:

      $sql="SELECT oldurl, newurl FROM #__redirection ".

        "WHERE '".substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],1)."' ".

        "RLIKE CONCAT( oldurl, '(/.*)?$' ) ". 

        "ORDER BY CHAR_LENGTH(oldurl) DESC ".

        "LIMIT 1";

Hi,

This fixed the problem... Thanks!

Why do you think it inserts it without the "/mambo/" though?

In any case, it works, and I am happy

Appreciate your help.

Great, this will be included in alpha4 too.

To answer your question, it inserts without the /mambo/ because the SEF urls are built independantly of the the physical file location. To me, makes more sense that way since the results get appended to the value of $mosconfig_live_site.

alpha4 has been released.

Thanks for the feedback this weekend!!! Please keep it up. I can't fix what I don't know it broken.

Not really sure what you mean by aliases, but if you are talking about creating your on "special" urls that should already work. You just need to know the correct NON-sef url to put in the `newurl` field. You can make up anything you want for the `oldurl` field it should work. Just remember to leave off the leading slash (Ignore the Redirection Manager warning if you are using it for my project)
