Do you happen to have Smartblogger? If so is it installed/enabled on this site?

no I do not... it's pretty much a completely clean install of Joomla... although I have DJ Catalog which doesn't work either, and wbGallery installed... other than that it's a clean install running in legacy mode.

Matthew Murphy said:Do you happen to have Smartblogger? If so is it installed/enabled on this site?

I had SmartBlogger plugin installed and enabled, i disabled it and everything started working, id see about removing DJ Catalog, try it again if thats not it put it back, then do wbGallery... Why legacy mode? I wouldnt be using legacy even more so with 1.6 around the corner.

uninstalled everything but K2 just now and turned off legacy support and still getting the same thing.

thinking about doing a full new reinstall.

Why did you have legacy on? What version of Joomla, What version of K2?

I had it on for a template...

Joomla Version 1.5.6
K2 Version 2.1

You REALLY need to upgrade your Joomla, that site can be hacked in seconds id upgrade the template so its 1.5 native its pretty easy to do.

alright, I've updated and still the same error...

Hi,

You need mod_rewrite on to use SEF URLs properly. Turn on mod_rewrite - after you do the following:

The .htaccess file is in the root of your joomla install - it may still be named htaccess.txt - change it to .htaccess

And then...

If you are using mod_rewrite and SEF URLs, it sounds like you may need to add the subdirectory for the rewriteBase in your .htaccess file like so:

Open .htaccess in notepad or dreamweaver or whatever you use for coding and change the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

to

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subdirectoryName

I hope that is your problem and this fixes it.

thanks much for that... I will try today sometime and come back and let you know.

you sooooo ROCK Cristina! that fixed it...

to clarify for future readers...

I had an error where my K2 catalog links would give an "404 error component not found"

Cristina Solana, suggested:

1. ensuring that the htaccess file was active
2. that the htaccess file had the subdirectory turned on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subdirectoryName
3. that "Use Apache mod_rewrite" have "yes" selected.

after completing those suggestions, my error has been fixed.

thanks so much Cristina...

What if your not using a subdirectory? its just a www.sitename.com

this is my entire .htaccess and the sites been working fine with smartblogger enabled and today it just quit working when i have not touched the site in 2 days (been swamped with client work and this is my own site)
