Friendly URL error

[Ben.Fitzpatrick]

Hello,

When I enable "Friendly URL" in my back office my website stops working. All of the internal website links don't work and the only page I can load is the home/index page. All other pages return "404 Not Found - The requested URL was not found on the server". I've confirmed that my server is already configured to enable mod rewriting. When I click the link it redirects to the friendly URL however the 404 error appears. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks.

Ben

Update:

- Website address is bees.com.au

- Hosted on Google Cloud Platform using PrestaShop Click to Deploy

- Cache has been cleared after enabling Friendly URL and error persists

- All pages return the 404 error (i.e. content and product pages) except for the homepage

- Disabled Apache's MultiViews option and no change

- Change code in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf from:

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

To: 

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

And it didn't fix the problem either.

Update: When I change "Redirect to the canonical URL to "No redirection (you may have to duplicate content issues)" the links works and you can navigate through the site, however, the product pages and the product images no longer work.

Please make sure your pseudo static file: .htaccess is normal.

Hi

What do you exactly mean by normal?

[rmalla]

If friendly urls are not working it is probably beacause a misconfiguration of your server.

If you have a complete server with root access (not a shared hosting) you can check your virtual hosts (/etc/apache2/site-avilable (or something similar)) and make sure inside your enabled virtual host you have Allow Override All, as someone stared above.

 

Not sure about the exact terminology as Im writing this from my cellphone.

 

This setting will allow that the .htaccess file automaticay created hy prestashop is taken into account, otherwise i believe its ignored.

Dig into virtual hosts and I believe you will find the solution. Additionally make sure you research the security implications of putting Allow Override All, you may want to make sure it works for your usecase.

Yes, in my case it was due to server missconfiguration in virtual hosts.

Hope it helps.
