Joomla articles do not work

I get a 404 error when accessing a newly created article via an alias, I found that something like this needs to work:

http://yoursite.com/section-alias/category-alias/article-alias

Showing error 404, any idea? If I just use http://yoursite.com/section-alias This also gives 404 - any idea?

I am using joomla 1.5.23

My current sef settings:

  • Search engine: on
  • Use Apache mod_rewrite: on
  • Add URL suffix: off

Create a hidden menu (i.e. a menu that should not be displayed to site visitors) from the Menu Manager and add articles as menu items. You do not need to create a module for this menu, since you are not going to display them in the external interface. When creating a menu item, Joomla tracks aliases and displays them correctly.

In the sidebar, you have friendly search queries ... so you renamed htaccess.txt to .htaccess? Also check this out.

If you are having problems with specific links giving 404, check all your menus and find duplicate aliases.

You also need to create a menu item that points to this article. Then, using the menu alias, you can access the article.
