Thought I posted earlier.. not sure what happend.. ok, here is the deal..

I setup the .htacess and that part is working fine.. I can go to mydomain.com/mambo/username and view there profile..

The problem now is that when I click on the memberlist, it gives me a 404 error and I cannot view any profiles on the list. What am I doing wrong?

Also when I click on Myprofile it gives me a 404.. but I guess that would be expected

I am also having toruble getting this working. I am using 404 sef; it seems to work with everything except user profile pages. The URLs for the user profile pages look like this:

mambo/userprofile.html
mamob/userprofile-2.html

Hi Tuse

I had the same problem. thats the matter why i disabled the Search Engine Friendly URLs under SEO. without sef it worked for me. Just let the htaccess file working

@SIGHUP

You need to have an apache for this (not IIS, IIS dont can handle with htaccess files!)

Your're english is fine dude.

Hmm, actually this is what's happening right now.


@hedingsi

I turned off SEO under the administrator/global configuration panel. Now it freaking works! Just like you said.

Aha! Now turned it back on with the corresponding RewriteEngine code and guess what? It doesn't work any more it gives a 404 when trying to access a users profile via mysite.com/viewprofile

Very interesting, we'll see what happens next.

I've seen this work on other sites with SEO turned on, hope it doesn't come to deciding between features.

It's not working for me. Here's my htaccess code:
