    • HELP!!! Problem with SEF feature

    Posted by nirvanesque posts: 32

    Hello All,

    Please help me.

    Using Tiki 10.0 So far so good for the last few months.

    Then tried to activate the SEF feature from admin panel. Now, I cannot even get into my website or admin panel.

    I get this error on my Firefox browser:

    QUOTE
    The page isn't redirecting properly.

    Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
    /QUOTE
    cry
    I'm using a shared hosting. So logged-in through cPanel-PhPMyadmin and deleted the rows in table tiki_preferences, related to sefurl

    Still not working!!! cry

    Meanwhile, site is down.

    Please help.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Rick,

    Thanks for your prompt reply and help.

    Yes, it was a problem with the .htaccess file as well (the hosting company - Bluehost - uses a LAMP stack). The _htaccess file that I renamed was garbled (conversion problem between Unix & Windows editors).

    So my "workaround" was:
    - deleted the rows in DB table tiki_preferences, related to sefurl
    - replaced with an old (tiki v9) .htaccess file

    The website came back to life and I deactivated carefully the SEF feature (better safe than sorry!) Sorry for my conservative approach (in the Tiki learning process). Earlier had a WSOD issue with the multi-lang feature and deleted preferences rows again.

    So much for the time being, but would love to use the SEF features so still looking for a cool "solution" without running into the same problem. biggrin


    Hope to check out other forums for this.

    Best!
