Hi Mambers,

I have problems with the Search Engine Friendly URLs.
I keep getting responses like this:
The requested URL /content/section/4/29/ was not found on this server.

Apache/1.3.29 Server at localhost Port 80

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Alwin

My server is Apache 1.3.29 (for windows)
OS = XP Pro
mod_rewrite module loaded and added
d51-SEF installed
.htaccess file OK
In Mambo global configuration Search Engine Friendly URLs set to Yes and saved.

Hi!

I really don't know which restriction is responsible, but with my hoster (strato / germany) SEF don't work.

Maybe it's the same problem with your hoster.

Hi Mambers,

same problem activating SEF. Does anybody know if this works with provider and package "1&1 Business Pro 5.0 (former 1&1 Premium-Paket 4.0)" ?

Thanx in advance !

I had the same problem for awhile. I was able to fix it by changing "AllowOverride" to All in my httpd.conf file.

... feeling confused. There is no file "httpd.conf" neither in any of the mambo directories nor in my web space. I found this file for example in an archive of phpMyAdmin:
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All
#
But I am not using phpMyAdmin. How can I change this parameter for my web space ?

Greetings

It can only be changed wihtin the http.conf of the apache server.
(the http.con is the configuration-file for the server! )

You need root-acces to your web-server!

Example:
If your mambo is installed in the webroot (no subdirectory) and if this is /var/www looking for

<Directory /var/www>
...
...
</Directory> and change it to (or add it to the end of the configuration file):

<Directory /var/www>
...
...
AllowOverride All
</Directory> "..." means some other configurations, if exists, do not add ... anywhere!


here is a little Article from the Apache Homepage what the AllowOverride Directive does:

AllowOverride directive

Syntax: AllowOverride All|None|directive-type [directive-type] ...
Default: AllowOverride All
Context: directory
Status: core When the server finds an .htaccess file (as specified by AccessFileName) it needs to know which directives declared in that file can override earlier access information.

Note: AllowOverride is only valid in <Directory> sections, not in <Location> or <Files> sections, as implied by the Context section above.

When this directive is set to None, then .htaccess files are completely ignored. In this case, the server will not even attempt to read .htaccess files in the filesystem.

When this directive is set to All, then any directive which has the .htaccess Context is allowed in .htaccess files.

The directive-type can be one of the following groupings of directives.

AuthConfig Allow use of the authorization directives (AuthDBMGroupFile, AuthDBMUserFile, AuthGroupFile, AuthName, AuthDigestRealmSeed, AuthType, AuthUserFile, Require, etc.).FileInfo Allow use of the directives controlling document types (AddEncoding, AddLanguage, AddType, DefaultType, ErrorDocument, LanguagePriority, etc.).Indexes Allow use of the directives controlling directory indexing (AddDescription, AddIcon, AddIconByEncoding, AddIconByType, DefaultIcon, DirectoryIndex, FancyIndexing, HeaderName, IndexIgnore, IndexOptions, ReadmeName, etc.).Limit Allow use of the directives controlling host access (Allow, Deny and Order).Options Allow use of the directives controlling specific directory features (Options and XBitHack). Example:

AllowOverride AuthConfig Indexes

Hope this helps
Greetings

Thanxs for the details. Meanwhile I asked my provider; see dialog (sorry, german provider):
Question = Mein CMS-System benötigt für eine suchmaschinenfreundliche Einstellung einen Eintrag in der Server-Konfigurationsdatei httpd.konf mit "AllowOverride All"; kann dies von Ihnen vorgenommen werden (da ich wahrscheinlich keine root-access Berechtigung erhalten werde) ?
Answer = wir nehmen keine individuellen Änderungen an der httpd.conf vor.
As a result I will have to compare some provider. Is there any list of german providers supporting the mambo environment in a better way ?

They only need to change the configuration for your webroot-directory. But i know about the mostly bad service of german providers. I Think the best way is to decide to rent an own Server. Then you are able to change everything you want.


Das einzige was die ändern müssten, wäre die Konfiguration für dein Webroot-Verzeichnis. Aber ich habe auch schon schlechte Erfahrungen mit dem einen oder anderen Povider in Deutschland gemacht. Die stellen sich manchmal wegen den kleinsten Änderungen Quer. Am Besten einen eigenen Server mieten, dann hast du deine Ruhe und kannst alles ändern un installieren was du möchtest

Wie sind den so die Erfahrungen mit all-inkl.de ? Die sollen recht kooperativ sein

Gruß / greetings

Hi, I use http://www.webspace4all.de. They support "Rewrite Engine On" in .htaccess on request. It will take a day for them to apply changes. Support is good and prices are low.

DDuck

They support access to .htaccess with "Rewrite Engine On" by default.
