My site was working fine for the last couple of months and suddenly stopped working. and the issue was backend was working fine but the front end does not load at all.
then I contacted server providers they saying they have not done any changes to the server and asking me to contact Joomla support to see any in-depth errors. they even said they cant find any issues from the logs.
Then what I did was I reinstall VirtueMart (mind you this is an e-commerce site). then it started to work again from the front end. but I realize follow on pages aren't working. so what I did was I remove url re-writing and change the .htaccess code to txt.
so the issue I am having now is I can see index.php file in the URL. but whenever I try to change use url rewriting and enable .htaccess I get this error
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster#domain.au and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
anyone have any ideas?
Suddenly stopped working, without any change from your end ?
Try to step backward and recall anything you did before the issues.
The virtuemart re-installation should not have any relation with the SEF settings and the htaccess.
All these seem to be a combination of different issues.
Have you made any changes on the htaccess file ?
Go in Joomla Global configuration and disable SEF settings. Set URL rewriting to No. Then try to load pages in the front-end.
If you need SEF URLs, follow these instructions about how to enable this feature in Joomla:

I am working on an E-Commerce website project which I created in localhost. It worked fine, until I moved it online.
Since I moved it online, I've had issues accessing the admin page and the index.php. I've managed to make the admin page work and can now access the backoffice without any issues, but my index.php still shows me an "error: too many redirects1" page.
What's happening?
Main page of my website is stuck in a redirecting loop (chrome error message : this url tried to redirect you too many times)
Everytime I reload the main page, the url switches between www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com (might be an htaccess issue?)
What I've done to try and solve the problem:
I have checked everything in core_config_data table to make sure
the right urls are written in web/secure/base_url and
web/unsecure/base_url. They are.
I have manually cleared the var/cache and var/session from my
FTP.
I have cleared all cookies / cache from Chrome / Firefox
I have reuploaded the files and database multiple times, thinking it might be due to a corrupted file from the upload.
I have tried to edit the htaccess, but it didn't change anything.
What should I do now ?
I feel like I've tried everything.
As it's my first time with magento, I'm sure it's some dumb thing I might not know about, but I've read nearly every single post about this kind of issues on this website and haven't found anything to resolve it.
So I'm asking you. I'm willing to try every single idea you throw at me, as I've been stuck on this issue for a while now ^^
Thanks for reading :)
Weird, It seems that You make everything right. Try to find and update all url settings in core_config_data: select * from core_config_data where path like '%url%'.
You can try update web/url/redirect_to_base config to 0 (if you have 1).
Remember to clear cache.
I have face a big problem, suddenly my server response "406 Not acceptable" error.
POST not working on my server.
I tried to resolve with more scripts to fix this.
I used .HTACCESS script
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
But problem not solve. I can't understand other things, and I tried to contact godaddy, but there are not option to contact them, live chat is very poor, always telling that they have huge traffic.
please can you give some proper solution for this?
The main cause of error 406 error is mod_security rules on the server. Mod_security is a security module in the Apache web server that is enabled by default on all hosting accounts.
If any website, page, or any function violates one of these rules, server may send the 406 Not Acceptable error. Mostly this error triggers when you have any insecurity in your code. You could either resolve the insecurity within your code, or turn mod_security off.Turning mod_security off could open that potentially insecure page up to malicious attacks on your site. So it is better the investigate it and fix your code.
If you have WHM access check your mod security log file. It will show you exact cause what is causing this error. You may find audit logs at
/usr/local/apache/logs/audit_log
and mode security config files at
/usr/local/apache/conf/modsec.conf
/usr/local/apache/conf/modsec.user.conf
I’m fairly new to the Magento platform but I have a decent amount of experience in web development on apache servers.
A few days ago I was asked to look into an issue that was first made aware of with failing filters.
I had a look at the google analytics data and it seems the SEO friendly URLs have all stopped displaying. The navigation URLs still use friendly words however on the page return the URL is redirected to a basic catalog URL.
http://www.camera-camera.com/cameras-and-accessories.html
instead now it goes to
https://www.camera-camera.com/index.php/catalog/category/view/id/9
I checked the admin config. The Web > SEO URL rewrites are set to YES
I toggled them to No saved and back to yes then saved. Tried clearing the catalog URL rewrite cache
Checked the htaccess file and it hasn’t been touched for months.
Emptied the core rewrite table and reindexed it.
So I’m outta ideas now, was hoping some of you more experienced users can have some input as to what else I can check.
I also found it strange that the URL is now ignoring postback parameters. If you look at their filters they are simply an a link to the same page with a post parameter. This gets striped and ignored now might be related?
A file restore was on the day it happened. Any files I should check it against?
Thanks for any help you can provide !
I just discovered that it was related to HTTPS. I didn't notice but seems the site keeps redirecting to HTTPS even though the filter links etc are pointing to HTTP, in the redirect the parameters are dropped. Now to figure out why its going into HTTPS
I've got a website where on the majority of computers it works absolutely fine, redirecting users to the correct pages using the .htaccess file.
However, some computers seem to be ignoring the rules in the .htaccess file (maybe even the .htaccess file completely).
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^procyon$ /procyon.php [L]
When a user visits http://www.blackroc-technology.com/procyon it redirects them to a product page. However, for some users they get a 404 error.
Someone in the same building as me (same internet connection) is suffering from this problem - I've tried both IE and Chrome and neither work so it doesn't appear to be a browser issue.
There's also a handful of customers on other internet connections to ours which have reported the problem.
Any thoughts on this? It's seems very odd to me and hard to debug!
If you can reproduce both cases, working and not working, then do an client side HTTP capture, e.g. using Fiddler.
You can then diff the successful/unsuccessful request to try to narrow down the issue e.g. if bad requests always fail and good requests always succeed, when re-requested from Fiddler, regardless of which network, computer they are issued, then it is likely a server side issue (.htaccess or httpd.conf setting sensitive to one of the request attributes).
At the very least you will have a better idea of exactly what is transpiring vs just the end result of a 404.
You can also similarly enable logging on the server side (ideally in a staging enviroment, not production) e.g
RewriteLogLevel 9
to get more details on why bad requests result in a 404
Basically i developed my app on a localhost wamp server with PHP 5. ON uploading to the actual host i notice that
The server is running php 4.4.9
Everytime i upload my .htaccess file, the server removes it completely.. seems to not be allowed
When i test out the set all i get is a 404 page not found
Any help on how to make it work on this PHP 4 server?
I did a test with CI 1.7.2, default installation.. works on my local server but when uploaded does not work, does this mean that the server does not support it?
I'm sure this isn't what you want to here, but get a new server. Here are the reasons why:
PHP 4 is no longer well supported. It's insecure.
If the server is removing .htaccess files, they are also unsupported on that server, giving you one more reason to move.
Code Igniter runs best with PHP 5 and with an .htaccess file.
The gist of this is you are going to have to hack your code back into the dark ages to get this to work, and then you will still have pretty URL issues and overall system instability. If you can make the switch, do.
If you cannot use .htaccess files with CodeIgniter, in system/application/config/config.php there is a configuration key called index_page. You need to set that to whatever page you have bootstrapping CodeIgniter (usually /index.php)
Then, make sure all your links that get routed through CI either target index.php/controller/action/params... or utilize the URL helper (with site_url or anchor) to automatically put in the index.php
Joe Mills is exactly right in his answer, though. CI works best with PHP 5 and .htaccess.
See CI URLs and CI URL Helper for documentation.
Well i found out how to fix several things
The issue with .htaccess would be to just not use modrewrite as such i put "query_string" option in my path variavable and this works.
The other issue, which was the major issue was that i was using Datamapper library which is a php 5 only library.
