I’m having an issue, whenever I turn on ‘Search Engine Friendly URLs’ from the global configuration menu all of the pages on my site break except my index page, all of the other pages lose their backgrounds, images & css effects.

I made sure to change htaccess.txt to .htaccess, but the other pages still display incorrectly, I’ve got a screenshot attached.

Hopefully somebody can help me…

Thanks!

Hi vaughn,

are you sure that your htaccess file is OK?

There might be some special requirements from your server, that make the htaccess file unappropriate, which is what your hosting provider should tell you about.

Can you please send me your ftp and joomla admin login on a PM?

I was having the exact same problem. Tried just turning on SEF links then appear http://www.xxx.com/home/index.php/typography and everything is broken… no css at all or images.

Then tried with the Apache mod_rewrite and renaming the htaccess.txt to .htaccess but didn’t work.

Went back and double checked everything and found I renamed htaccess.txt to simply htaccess. In my case I left off the dot in front. Everything is perfect now. Never hurts to double check everything… maybe you have the same mistake?

Also make sure you have the Apache mod_rewrite enabled too and didn’t just change the htaccess.txt file. Otherwise you get that index.php in the url and that breaks the page.

Dear imsleepy!

When you turned on the Search Engine Friendly URLs function and did not turn on the Use Apache mod_rewrite function, so the SEF did not use the .htaccess file and the Apache mod_rewrite, you need not make any changes with them.

Now, pls check the HTML Source of page and try to view all css links and js links in the head tag. in there, you ‘ll see that it have a wrong in the live site link.

Example for this:

Wrong:<link href=”DOMAIN/index.php/templates/ja_avior/css/color/default.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” title=”ColorCSS_default” />

Right: <link href=”DOMAIN/templates/ja_avior/css/color/default.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” title=”ColorCSS_default” />

So that the requests failed and the template could not get css codes and js codes using for render layout.

At the monent, i have not find a exactly problem, but i guess this is from php version and php’s configuration :).

You can fix this as following:
a) open the file: configuration.php and find code at line 20:
[PHP]var $live_site = ”[/PHP]
and replace:
[PHP]var $live_site = YOUR DOAIN;// @example: http://joomlart.com[/PHP%5D

b) Or you rename the htaccess.txt to .htaccess and turn on the “Use Apache mod_rewrite” function

Good luck
