Since installing Joomla and Wordpress in my server about 2 weeks ago, I’m having the problem where SEO friendly URL for the Joomla site is not working. If you don’t understand this, here’s an example:

Non-SEO friendly URL: http://www.ridhuan.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=3&Itemid=4

SEO friendly version: http://www.ridhuan.com/categoryname/articlename

Finally I’ve found why Joomla 1.5.9 SEO Friendly URL doesn’t work. It is in the .htaccess file.

Replace:

RewriteRule (.*) index.php

in .htaccess file with

RewriteRule (.*) /index.php

and the SEO friendly URL should work fine. You must already turn on the Apache mod_rewrite. I’m not sure if this solution can be applied for other version than Joomla 1.5.9 as I’m using. I’m also using the latest MySQL, PHP, and Apache version therefore if the solution does not work for you, try check out you version and contact you hosting server.

I’m still having a problem with the site’s login module. Users cannot login to the site using the login form but new users can register without any problem. Unless this problem has been settled, I just can’t start to write any good article to the site. Maybe because of my nature where everything has to work fine before I can start doing my job. I’ve searched for the solution in the Joomla forum and still waiting for some solution.
