Requested URL ....html was not found

[WhiteKnight]

Using SEO-G

 

I get this 404 error when i click on any of the links in the site.

 

"The requested URL /my-products-name.html was not found on this server."

 

It also gives the same thing when going to any category or information pages, etc. The issue is the pages are all named foobar.php but it gets changed to foorbar.html for the SEO.

 

I have mod_rewrite on and the .htaccess set as in the code and it changes the .php to .html but then it does not find it on the server (just a local server for testing).

 

Is there something obvious I am missing.

 

If I turn off SEO-G (set master switch false) in admin it all works as before just no seo.

 

Thanks for any pointers in the right direction.

OK so just posting a reply and solution to my own post for anyone else who finds this useful

 

I had AllowOverride in the wrong place in my httpd-vhosts.conf file.

I had commented it out in another site in the vhosts for testing and then went back and removed it. (That site did not need it.) Or at least that is what I thought I was doing. But in the process I deleted it from this osCommerce site instead.

 

That keeps RewriteEngine On (in the htaccess file) from really being on locally. So this would have worked on the live server (where it was running) but not on the local Apache server where it is being tested and developed.

 

Lesson learned (again) - At 3AM all these things start to look the same so that is probably not a good time to be messing around with the conf file.

 

Thanks to all who have helped so much already.

Hi WK

 

I am getting the same problem, but i don't really understand what you did

could you please provide me some lammer-proof information? :) cos i am new to OSC

 

What I understood, you removed the AllowOverride from .htaccess?

And is not possible to watch SEO working in local apache host?

 

thanks in advance

Hi

 

Just to say that I've fixed the problem:

I set AllowOverride to All in httpd.conf under apache/conf/ folder

and enabled the modules/mod_rewrite.so
