404 error page afther htaccess.txt modify

hi,
i activated the search engine Friendly URLs - Use URL rewriting and Add Suffix to URL from the control panel afther the htaccess.txt file modify

i modified the htaccess.txt in this way:
1) changed the Options +FollowSymLinks in # Options +FollowSymLinks
2) # RewriteBase / in RewriteBase / (the website is not in anather folder)
3) renamed the htaccess.txt in .htaccess and added by the ftp clieent Filezilla

When i go to the control pane for activate the Friendly URLs - Use URL rewriting and Add Suffix to URL i continue to recieve the 404 error page for the all menu links.. why?

i did this operation so many times and i don't find the solution for this website..

can u help me?

Hi,

Please check if the standard htaccess.txt file is working - in my opinion you shouldn't apply any changes to this file. If the standard htaccess.txt file will work then you can try to apply your changes one by one and then check which change causes your problems.

without htaccess.txt modify all link works good (but is not for google and other search engine)
without htaccess.txt modify if i set "Use URL rewriting" on Yes all links works not


with htaccess.txt changed as i said , setting "Use URL rewriting" Yes.. all link works not

If the original htaccess.txt file doesn't work, then it means that it is a problem with your server configuration - please ask your hosting provider why standard Joomla htaccess file doesn't work.

How can i know if the original htaccess.txt file works or not?
i mena, if i select not, from the control panel, the "Use URL rewriting option, it works good

the problemi is when i make the modify to the htaccess.txt renaming it in .htaccess (with the modifyes inside) and i active "Use URL rewriting" option

That's why I've asked you to check if the original file htaccess.txt renamed to .htaccess with enabled SEF url's is working correctly - please check it.

ok, i renamed the file in .htaccess without modify and it works good

Riscrivi URL SEF "no"
Suffisso URL "no

in this way it works

where is the problem so?

tnx

So it means that your changes caused the problem - you can consult it with your hosting, why it is not working, because most probably it depends from the server configuration.

Can u tell me what kind of configuration the server must have for to let work the .htaccess file correctly?

tnx so much

You should have installed on your server mod_rewrite.

tnx so much.. i called the host and i noticed that the mod_rewrite was not activated..
tnx
