does not work when mambo SEF is on
« on: June 01, 2005, 12:12:13 PM »
I do not get links like:

http://www.domain.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,29/...

I get things like:

http://www.domain.com/smf/Item,29/...

These result in a 404.

I also noticed when I went to login here after registering I received an error prompt that I needed to fill in the password field when it already was.  I had the same thing happen when I tested my install.

Hi EliteRides,

Try that:


On an Apache server
-------------------
1. Enable SEF in mambo configuration
2. do NOT rename the htaccess.txt
3. open /includes/sef.php and change this line: (~ line 242)
Code:
return $mosConfig_live_site."/".$string;
to
Code:
return $mosConfig_live_site."/index.php/".$string;




On an IIS server
----------------
For IIS or if you can't get the above working replace the line with:

Code:
return $mosConfig_live_site."/index.php?".$string;

There will remain a single ?, but it doesn't matter, such addresses are still indexed by search engines (One interrogation mark is tolerated).

It could also be needed to add this to your sef.php:

Code:
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

just above
if ($mosConfig_sef) {

(line 13 approximately)
