Joomla not finding index.php after

Question

I had turned Use URL rewriting to ON Added some code in to the ht access file and this never worked.

I then turned off url rewriting and removed the code and now when I try to go to the website I am getting a 404 error.

I can still access /administration

the website is www2.daxtra.com

the page it should find is http://www2.daxtra.com/index.php/home

Does anyone have any ideas what has happened?

This was the code I added:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

Thanks

Answer 1

Right, I've done a small test.

To get what you want, you need to following:

1. htaccess.txt (you don't need a .htaccess file)
2. Search Engine Friendly URLs set to On
3. Use URL rewriting set to Off
4. You finally need to ensure that your Homepage menu items it set to a specific component such as an article or something else, not an Alias

This will ensure that you get example.com/index.php/home

Hope this helps
