Joomla Templates

The rewrite rule is not working on the site and I don't see the joomulus instance to see what it's doing.

The basics ...

suhosin and other server protections are designed to prevent cross-server attacks so they consider a link within joomlabear.com/page1 pointing to www.joomlabear/page2 to be a link coming from outside with the effect that it's also by an unregistered user initiating a new session.
The crossdomain file will instruct the server to treat the other domain as a friendly insider.

You should be using the htaccess that came with joomla, called htaccess.txt and rename it to be .htaccess The rename may make it disappear if you do not have permission to view hidden files. It has a line that turns mod rewrite on. The code above should go there as the first rewrite executed. All it does is if www is in the URL, it removes it so if you typed in the address bar www.joomlabear.com with this code working, it would instantly be replaced with joomlabear.com
This allows you to write all your links with or without the www and they will still work, more importantly, a link from an external site to www.harabara.com/apage will still allow joomulus to work because it will immediately be changed to harabara.com/apage.

All three joomla SEF buttons in global config. should be 'On'.

Ahem - this whole thread is assuming no third party SEF is active. Likewise for a third party search enhancement that needs a different URL. Do you have sh404SEF or similar running?

The third issue is how you have your links constructed in the joomulus parameters page. local links should start from your root directory.
tag: tagged page
URL: /search/tagged&20page.html
Size: 20
the url may also have a search type appended such as 'all words' or 'exact'.

1. Joomulus is re-enabled

2. crossdomain file inserted per Bambi with this content:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain- policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="harabara.com/" />
<allow-access-from domain="www.harabara.com/" />
</cross-domain-policy>

but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

3. re: "Ahem - this whole thread is assuming no third party SEF is active. Likewise for a third party search enhancement that needs a different URL. Do you have sh404SEF or similar running?" : not as far as I know

4. "All three joomla SEF buttons in global config. should be 'On'." : done (Apache mod_rewrite had been off)

5. links in Joomulus rewritten to start from root directory instead of , e.g. "/index.php/component/search/green%20supply% 20chain.html?ordering=&searchphrase=all"

6. I have htaccess.txt, with no contents, and .htaccess with the following content:
"<IfModule mod_php5.c>
# mod_suPHP is active - php.ini overrides must be within these tags or in your local php.ini
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond % ^www.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>"

7. refreshed everything and waited . . . no apparent improvement.

8. thanks for your help with this but it still doesn't work properly.

I'm quite confident it's not a Joomulus error, but something to do with one of the above. I would have thought the cross domains policy would do the trick....
I get 404 not found when going to this link www.harabara.com/harabara-blog.html

works fine with www :( I'd say it's an issue with the URL re-writing. And I don't know about the code in the .htaccess file above. It's trying to 301 redirect all pages to them selves. I'm quite sure Google treats with and with out www as the same web page.

Agree it is not a Joomulus error

I think I found the issue at kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14213.html

this problem results from a fix embodied in Flash Player 7

I have put in a crossdomain policy file with these contents:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain- policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="www.harabara.com" />
<allow-access-from domain="harabara.com" />
</cross-domain-policy>

Note the syntax is slightly different from yours.

URL re-writing is a different issue, and had us confused. I will take out the rewriting in .htaccess for now, then let's see how everything works.

Thanks again for continuing help.
