sweathog73 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Hoping for some assistance. A while ago I was adding a module and trying to get the settings right when I stumbled across a post in the forums here that said to 'clear the cache'. I did that and discovered that I'd wiped most of the work I'd done on the website. After I fixed it all up again (save, save, save) I went back to the forum and found out a number of posts later that someone had highlighted that you should leave the index files or you'll fry your website. Good advice! Wish I had read all the posts before getting started... Anyway, my issue at the moment is that every second time I try and load any of the CMS pages (About us, T&Cond, Contact us etc) at the bottom of the page I get a 404 error. So it might just be a rookie error but I can't figure out why it does it every second time. I thought I'd reversed all the damage, but clearly, I haven't. Please help, riddled with 404 errors.

PascalVG Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hi Sweathog, As you can see, the 2nd time, the URL where the about us etc links to has a /content/ extra in it, which shouldn't be there. (EDIT: It should be there when FriendlyURL is ON, but not when it's OFF) This most probably has to do with some wrong redirecting. Try the following: Go to Advanced Parameters->Performance - turn OFF your smarty cache and CLEAR Smarty Cache. - 'Template cache' set to "Recompile templates if the files have been updated" - turn off all ccc settings (i.e. do 'keep ... as original' (option 2 every time)) - turn off Apache optimization - turn off Cache at bottom And Save settings Then go to Preferences->SEO&URLs Toggle friendly URL option Save Reload frontpage (Maybe enforce reload with CTRL-F5 (Win)/Command-R (Mac) ) Toggle friendly URL option back to original setting Save Reload frontpage (Maybe enforce reload with CTRL-F5 (Win)/Command-R (Mac) ) Then click on about us and look at the about us after the about us page fully loaded. Does it still say ..../content/... ?? If it's gone, change back all settings in Advanced Parameters->Performance Save Reload frontpage and check one more time.Check one more time (Don't forget to turn cache &smarty cache back ON afterwards, otherwise your site will load much slower!) Hope this helps, pascal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweathog73 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thanks for your help. The 404 problem is gone and playing around a little more I found that the problem was, as you say, the 'friendly URL'. The only thing I have to figure out now is - what can be done to make friendly URLs work without bringing back the content error? Again, thanks so much for your help. I'm an absolute coding noob.

PascalVG Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Can you fully clear your browser cache to see if that helps? www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddhajewelry Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I found the issue. My website wasn't reading the https pages. So I just deactivated my SSL. I will now however be looking on how to fix it so I can turn it back on and make the site work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
