HTaccess issue in joomla on my localhost - .htaccess

I've copied my live website to my localhost for migrating into higher version. The problem that has been arises is that my menus and components are not opening and it's saying that it does not found any articles and components that has been assigned to menu. So i just want to know that if i will upgrade my joomla website which is currently has 1.5.26 version to 2.5 then will it effect on my website when i will upload it later on after migrating into higher version. Will everything will gonna work fine or still having a htaccess issues or not?

First make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled in you Apache config.
What errors do you get - a 500 ?

There is no guarantee it will work after the upgrade. You need to get it working on the local site before upgrading in my opinion.
Try disabling SEF urls and see if the site starts working. If it does then you know that it is an .htaccess issue and you should be OK to upgrade and upload.

Is the rewriting of speaking URLs in 9LTS supposed to work out of the box on IIS?

We are testing an upgrade from Typo3 8LTS to 9LTS and speaking URLs seem to work in typo3 itself, but the server returns a 404. Is the rewriting of URLs supposed to work out of the box on IIS? Or do we need to add some extra configuration manually, e.g. to the Web.config?
We tried the official documentation but there is only some information about an Apache server. And google was of no help either.
In sysext/install/Resources/Private/FolderStructureTemplateFiles/root-web-config you can find a demo IIS configuration. I assume this part is missing in your TYPO3 installation.

Joomla - 404 on Every Page, Back-End Still Works

all! I have a Joomla site (http://wired-ar.com) that I attempted an upgrade to 1.5.26 just a while ago. The upgrade went a bit awry, and I was forced to revert to a backup copy of the site using 1.5.15. Was upgrading with the intent to then upgrade to 2.x and then the latest.
I'm new to Joomla, but I believe I've reattached all the necessary components and modules. However, I'm getting 404 errors on EVERY page. Homepage, interior pages. I'm also having some problems with my editor, as only the top-portion of the editor appears and no TinyMCE. I've re-uploaded all editor files just to be safe, but no luck.
I haven't got a clue what's going on here, and I'm all out of leads. Most other problems like this involve the home page working, and nothing else. On my end, the back end works a-okay, and no visual pages are coming through. Changing different themes does not help, nor modifying any of the SEO areas, like mod_rewrite. Disabling plugins returns no results, either.
I would love some help with this, please! Any thoughts, options, or possibilities would be great.
Try to disable SEF url from backend, and figure out from the links, which articles/comp. are assigned to the menu. (maybe languages arent set correctly - you have assigned another lang article/category for ex. to an En lang menu)
As it turns out, and this may be the case with others, if you can access the back-end and nothing else, you likely have a corrupted file tree that's missing components or modules.
In my case, the really old files on this server had very wonky permissions, which made a smooth re-upload nearly impossible. The solution was to check and double check all components, adding the missing ones where needed. Took a lot of CHMOD work, too, for me.
Hope that helps someone, if you're in a similar pickle with an old Joomla site!

Google links opens wrong pages

Our website has been recently hacked (Joomla 1.5, hosted on VPS). Attacker added few php scripts that were redirecting to some ad sites. We have cleaned everything (or at least we think we did), and now everything works as it should.
However, links on Google (or Yahoo) that are pointing to our web site are still trying to include these php scripts (and returns 404 as these are deleted now). Direct links from browser works as they should.
We have cleaned site 10 days ago, so I do not think that something is cached at Google servers. Re-indexing should be done by now.
To reproduce this behavior:
Go to www.google.com
type in "anitex socks"
click any php link that starts with "anitexsocks.com"
You will get "The requested URL /wp-includes/client.php was not found on this server" + 404 error
Refresh page and everything works without issues
Why are only Google links making troubles?
Any help is welcome. Thanks!
As for the reason why this is happening, I installed a firefox add-on which blocks my browser's Referrer Header and then followed a Google link to your site and it worked fine. Then I disabled the add-on and the problem started occurring again.
This shows that there is still some malicious code running on your website which is checking all http requests to see if they come from Google (based on checking the HTTP Referrer header) and redirecting them to /wp-includes/client.php if they do,
To try to determine where this code may lie, try performing a recursive grep through all your www files on your server as well as your www configuration files,somewhere in there there must still be a reference to that client.php script, hopefully you can find and eliminate it.
That said, if it were my site and I knew a hacker had had free reign over my server to do whatever they wanted to it, I would not mess around with trying to undo the damage and would instead restore the most recent backup from before the site was hacked. You only have to miss one back door the hacker left in place and they can re-enter your site. After restoring backups, you should also upgrade/reconfigure the software they used to gain access in the first place so they can't simply rehack it in the same manner again.

seo friendly urls not recognised by IIS

I have a php based site hosted on a IIS server. URL like http://host.net/t.php works but
without the php extension does not work. This site was working properly on a LINUX server previously. ISAPI rewrite Life version was installed on the IIS server. But the problem still persists.
IIS versions prior to 7.x doesn't support extension-less URLs without some ISAPI filter.
This is the reason ;)
EDIT:

Was it useful for you? Good luck! :)
The problem was resolved by installing IIRF Rewrite 3 module.

IIS Issue? Site not coming up all of a sudden

So I have a site setup on a server. It has been working for ever. All of a sudden it stops working. I tried going to it even by IP. It just says, "Under Construction..
Under Construction
The site you are trying to view does not currently have a default page. It may be in the process of being upgraded and configured..."
I check to make sure it was pointing at the right virtual dir and that the default page was set in the documents list. The default page does exist in the dir too....
Nothing has been changed via code. Nothing has been altered on the server. I have a bunch of other sites running on the same server and they are all coming up. Just wondering if there was something that may have happened or overlooked. Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks a million.
Double check your bindings are set correctly. Perhaps a new site was created which conflicts with the bindings of your site?
Edit
Make sure .net is set to the right version. I've seen where pages are not served up when the web is set to 1.1 on a 2.0 site.
Also does the site work locally on the box? Have you ruled out firewall issues / changes or other network related elements.
It sounds like your request is being handled by another IIS site. Make sure that the host header is set correctly.
With your comment, the "Bad Request" error means that the default web site was handling the request. There are a couple of things you can check:
If this is not the site that you expected to serve your app, then you still have a website identity issue.
If your app is hosted on the default web site, then make sure that the default document is set correctly.
Also make sure that you don't have a file named "app_offline.htm" in your app's root.
Well we rebooted the server and now it works again. I guess I should have tried that in the first place. It was just odd that all the otehr sites were working. Anyway thanks for suggestions everyone.
