I have a strange problem on a brand new 1.8 install...when I go to the admin panel>Users & Groups and click OPTIONS>View Profile on a user, I get this error message:
Quote:Not Found
The requested URL /wattsnet/user-2.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
With more testing, I see that I get the same error even on the live site when trying to view a member's profile! What could cause this and of course, how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance!
what is your forum url ? do you have rewrite rules file (eg.
.htaccess) for the
SEF URLs

I did just turn on SEF URL's and that seemed to cause the problem. Turned it back to auto detect and problem is gone! I tried the link you gave me but it had no effect by renaming htaccess
Edit: you can ignore this
forum folder should have a file named htaccess.txt - it should be renamed as .htaccess (it has a dot at the beginning)
or if you want to disable the SEF URLs then navigate to below location and turn off it
admin panel >> configuration (settings) >> Server and Optimization Options
--> Enable search engine friendly URLs? <-- select disabled and save the settings
Ok, I renamed the .htaccess file and enabled SEF URL's but my thread titles still aren't SEF?? Profiles do still work!
ETA: Looks like SEF URL's are working but I guess I was expecting SEO URL's...how can I do that? Is Google SEO still required for 1.8?
Good deal! Thanks for the help!!
