SOLVED! - New Site -SEO Settings (Global Config) not working - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

i have site on clients server host (verio). new client.

the install went fine being on server company i'm not familiar having not worked them before.

i developing site in subdirectory called /joom15

following directions provided in previous post (by ranwilli):
viewtopic.php?f=431&t=451329&p=1938065#p1938065

i began altering seo settings.

a) search engine friendly urls yes
b) use apache mod_rewrite yes
c) add suffix urls yes

i renamed htaccess.txt .htaccess

i checked apache rewrite , redirecting pages google. worked fine.

with a, b, , c "yes" , apache rewrite working - error on 2 test pages beyond index page:
the requested url /usr/home/xxxxxx/www/htdocs/joom15/index.php not found on server.

i altered htaccess reflect subdirectory path changing this:

code: select all

# rewritebase

this:

code: select all

# rewritebase www/htdocs/joom15

i tried

code: select all

# rewritebase /htdocs/joom15

try it.

beneath error code - this:
apache/1.3.41 server @ myclient.com port 80

according system info on joomla site:
joomla 1.5.15
php version 5.2.6
mysql 5.1.36

any appreciated. thanks!

whatever have done line #rewritebase commented. informed # first character comment. have un-comment it.

i believe .htaccess file in directory \joom15. also, believe accessing site your-domain-name/joom15.

i suggest trying following in order , testing :

(a) rewritebase /

(b) rewritebase /joom15
