PHP/Mambo Problem...

Not sure if this is the right forum to post in, but it has to do with the Mambo CMS (written in PHP)

In Mambo, I have activated SEF urls, folllowing all the how-to instructions shown on their forums. The .htaccess file has the proper un-commented commands, etc. and for whatever reason, I am still getting dynamic urls.

My host runs appache servers, with mod_rewrite automatically enabled on all accounts, so that should not be the problem...One thing to mention though: The domain and hosting for this site are "virtual" to another site and hosting account that was pre-existing. I.E. on the server, this site and all mambo functionality lives in a sub-folder of this other hosting account. On the front-end this new site looks and behaves like a complete seperate domain (not a sub-domain of the other.)

With that said, the .htaccess file lives in the "root" of this new site (not a folder named "mambo" within that folder for example.) So, the code with the applicable command to generate the SEF shows a "/" for the path (indicating root directory) rather than "/mambo" for example. I am wondering if that path actually needs to be absoulute, such as: "www.firstdomain.com/secondomain" or some variation of that.

Sorry for the long post, just fumbling for the words to describe whats going on. If there happens to be Mambo gurus or users out there browsing this forum, I would appreciate your input.

Thanks,
Doug

You should also switch on friendly links inside mambo administrative console, so the cms knows what kind of links should generate. If you still have some problem email me at alex311[at]o2.pl

Hi,

I use joomla which is similiar to mambo.

What I had to do was clear the cache in the admin panel.

Have a look in the mambo admin and see if there is an option to clear the cache.
