TOPIC: Joomla Comment HTTP Apache Issue ? !

[/color]

And this happens only when you turn on !joomlacomment???

yes! i know this because once i uninstall it everything works back just fine!

!! Please help

I was just in my global configuration...
and under SEO settings
i have Use Apache mod-rewrite set as NO and near the Yes there is an exclamation sign...



is my Jommla!comment issue due to This??

well did you rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess ???

i dont know the folder.. so i dont think so!

it is file, but yea - I have the feeling that you didn't configure that well. Check out the joomla wiki pages

am i supposed to rename it? what am i to do? what is this file anyways>!

I just want to clear one thing: those problems you have are not related to joomlacomment, so perhaps renaming the title should help.

Here more information about the .htaccess:
docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_convert_an_ht..._a_.htaccess_file%3F

I guess the JoomlaSpeedFormula (JSF) will be exactly for you - wait for it and pray for it

look i didnt change anything..

can u please tell me how to install joomla!comment
and ill try out ur steps maybe i did sthng wrong plz

I would like to know one thing from you - did you find out what the htaccess file does?

i read the link you sent me...
im working on localhost for the moment..
am i supposed to convert htaccess.txt file into a .htaccess file?

+ im planning to upload my site on my host soon , will i have a problem then also?>!

Noorline, I asked you - did you understand what the .htaccess file is for?

I feel so retarded...

Well, your link says:

When using PHP as an Apache module, you can change the configuration settings using directives in Apache configuration files (e.g. httpd.conf and .htaccess files). You will need "AllowOverride Options" or "AllowOverride All" privileges to do so. If you control your own Apache configuration, you can and should use httpd.conf. If you do not control your Apache configuration (such as on a shared server), you must use .htaccess files.

So im guessing these files are Apache configuration files..
and when u use PHP as an Apache module u can configure themm...

i know retarded reply.. but thats all i know

I'm wondering why aren't you using google to find out why the .htaccess makes problems for you?

I think that you are new to forums so I will give you this link:
catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
It is a must read for all that want to use the internet as a way to find answers.

I'll help, but I need to be sure that you tried to solve the problem alone and have searched for information.

I wrote above that the problem doesn't have anything to do with joomlacomment, but with the .htaccess file and the url rewriting feature. Untill you configure it right - you will have problems.

ok i went to the htaccess file.. are u sure its the one causing problems? i dint understand what line they are talking about..
and yeah i googled HTTP Apache problems on google.. dint get anything that helped..
its been like 2 days im working to resolve this !
I dont want to waste ur time and im not lazy..
i just dont know how to solve this issue!
what do they mean by Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits?!
im a biochem student, but im really trying my best to understand all this!

Did you read my post when I said - did you rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess?
If you use the mod_rewrite option you have to do this.

i did go to the file and put a .
its now .htaccess

but iv put a # infront and at the end of Options +FollowSymLinks


?

btw now i have 2 files
.htaccess and htacces in my root directory..

is it supposed to be this way

no, you are supposed to have only .htaccess after that you can turn on the mod_rewrite feature in the joomla configuration.
