$live_site variable of configuration.php

Joomla! tries to automatically detect your web site root URL (ie: http://www.joomace.net) by itself because this information is needed in many operations, especially those dealing with making links and URLs

404 error on popups

Try this plz, go to AceSEF=>Configuration=>Advanced=>Base href value and set to "Use homepage"

500 error after renaming htaccess file

If you see error "500 - Internal server error" generated by your webserver after you have installed the AceSEF component or after you did some adjustments in your .htaccess file, there is probably some misspelling or invalid configuration in the .htaccess file, or the .htaccess file usage is not allowed in your environment.

AceSEF does not work with JoomFish

Go to Extensions -> Plugins and check that the System - Jfrouter plugin is enabled.




AceSEF doesnt work with SOBI2

If SOBI2 URLs are giving 404 error then go to : SOBI2->General Configuration->Cache->Second Level Cache and set it to NO



Can't edit URLs, tabs not in their places

Go to AceSEF=>Configuration=>Advanced=>Enable Source Tracker and set it to No then purge the problematic URLs.

Contact Us form generates 500 error

In fact the issue is not coused neither by Contact nor by AceSEF but by your template. To solve it:

Direct Access to this location is not allowed

This error comes out if any of the extensions you've installed is not 1.5 Native compatible, even if it seems that it is. Of course that this extension is not AceSEF, if so you would get this error message : "Restricted access".

HTML anchors are not working, missing images or other resources

Please note, that if base href generation is used, then all relative anchors, such as just "#anchor", or all other resources using relative paths (such as "/images/myimg.png" or "myfiles/file1.pdf") are automatically translated with the base href URL.

I can't find homepage SEF URL

This happens if you've assigned the any component other than Content (Articles) as "Default" menu item.

List layout instead of Blog layout & Duplicated URLs

This known as "Duplicated URLs" issue and happens because there exists 2 links to the content/category in your site - 1 with category list layout and the other with blog layout.

No images showing

This has nothing to do with AceSEF or even Joomla!. It is simply a logical result of the way a browser works.

Some modules are not showing when AceSEF is activated

This also applies to problems when correct modules are not showing or the correct menu item is not selected.

Unicode (UTF-8) URLs

Before using the UTF-8 feature of AceSEF, check these questions regarding your server?

URLs containing "." (dot) character gives 404 error

Whether URLs containing "." (dot) character do or do not work is dependant on web server configuration.


What is the Joomla ItemID?

ItemID is one of the most important and problematic part of Joomla! and SEF, check the OSTraining tutorial for more info http://bit.ly/chjojc

When should I use the J!1.5 router file instead of AceSEF extension

If you have an AceSEF extension for your component you dont NEED to use router.php file unless you dont like the URL rewriting of the extension in comparison with router.php's one.
