SEF URLs not working at all.

[pepea]

Hi, I installed a fresh version of coppermine, and then the SEF plugin, and I get this: http://penthouse.co/colombiapics

None of the links work at all.  Using Godaddy.  Any suggestions?

Thanks

Make sure the .htaccess file has been installed correctly.

Hi, .htaccess was installed correctly.  I tried ediing it several times with different configuration that people advised on the net.  However no luck.  I also called Godaddy support, and they said mod_rewrite is working on the server but they could not provide additional help on the script.

Please attach your .htaccess file to your next reply.

Here it is.  Thanks.  (Renamed so I can upload it here.)

The .htaccess file looks okay so far. Please try to set the RewriteBase parameter: find

Code Select Expand

#RewriteBase /YOUR_COPPERMINE_ROOT
and replace with

Code Select Expand

RewriteBase /colombiapics

For some reason that worked.  I swear I tried this yesterday, like 20 times.  I spent about 10 hours screwing with it, searching the net, calling Godaddy,  etc.  And yesterday it just would not work.  It was a 404 error no matter what I did.  I know Godaddy can take some time to update a .htaccess file but they say when it is only modified it takes effect right away.  I guess not.

That for your help.  Is there any way to get it to display /my_picture_of_beach15.html  instead of: displayimage-15.html

Thanks again.
