Forum Archive - Hi Edvard a little help ?

Hi Edvard, Sorry to trouble you, and I hope it's a basic question. Our website has your extension enabled however, I get the error 404 page with the lang/URL correct. I checked your trouble shooting guide as below, and confirm that the criteria have all been met ? Can you help. Many thanks. When I select a language I'm being redirected to a URL with the language code, but it gives 404 not found error. - Make sure that you have uploaded gtranslate folder to your www root folder. ----- YES - Make sure that you have .htaccess file and have placed # gtranslate config block to the next line of RewriteEngine On line in it. ------ YES Done - Make sure that you have Apache mod_rewrite or an alternative installed on your server (check with your hosting provider). ----- Yes... host enabled.

Hi, Can you post your .htaccess here? I can see that you have link which contain 2 letters URI (http://domain.com/at, http://domain.com/rs), that can be confused with the languages like http://domain.com/it, http://domain.com/fr, etc... Is it possible to use road-safety instead of rs, etc...?

Hi Ed, Here you go ! ... I will look into changing the 2 letter URL's Cheers Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On # gtranslate config RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /$1/$3 [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /$1/ [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1 [L,QSA] #RewriteBase / ## Back-end access (only for temp URLs) RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.+\.directrouter\.co(m|\.uk)$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.+\.\x72\x6F\x63\x68\x65\x6E\.\x63\x6F(m|\.uk)$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (\/~.+?\/) RewriteRule ^(administrator[/]?)$ %1$1/index.php [L] ### Server protection rules, by Nicholas K.

Hi, Can you please confirm that you have line breaks after every RewriteRule? It should look like this: # gtranslate config RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /$1/$3 [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /$1/ [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1 [L,QSA] One RewriteRule at one line...

Hi, There were no line breaks, however I have applied them as your request RewriteEngine On # gtranslate config RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /$1/$3 [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /$1/ [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1 [L,QSA] #RewriteBase / ..... But still no language function ? Cheers Richard

You still have a line break missing.... It should look like this: # gtranslate config RewriteRule .............. RewriteRule ............. RewriteRule ............. RewriteRule ............ You can add 2 line breaks to be sure: RewriteRule .............. RewriteRule ............. RewriteRule ............. RewriteRule ............
