Google SEO links not working though install successful

[aveshd]

Hello Guys,
This is driving me nuts. I have myBB 1.6v and I would like to add google seo plugin.

I could install it successfully and could see options in my admin CP. but when I click links on my forum it changes the name of the url all right but I get 404 Error.

I am not bale to find the answer for that.

Can anybody please help
regards,
Aveshd

You haven't made the necessary changes to .htaccess

On the plugin page under the google_seo plugin it will show you what you need to put in htaccess

Thank you for your reply. I rechecked my .htacess file and its fine, there are not many things needs to be chaged except the correct path to the folders.
I couldn't figure out so I reinstalled the plug-in and now I have very wierd problem:
On plugin menu it tells me to congifure the google seo plugin and when I change my settings (yes to almost all the choices except a few), nothing happens. When I rechek my plug-in page its stil shows me that I need to configure my google seo settings. When I click on the links I see no chnages to the url's
I have also made sure that I have correct functions.php file in /inc folder.


One more thing I know it wont matter but still, my website is windows NT server.

Are you using Apache on Windows NT or are you using IIS as your webserver? IIS does not support htaccess so thats probably where you problem is.

You can check out this thread and see if it might help you.

I fixed it by switching to linux server. I have Godaddy account and apparently mod_rewrite in not enabled in their windows server.
Please do a simple test and see its enable in your website
here is a helpful link. IN the fisrt part of this page author shows how to test for mod_rewrite
