Hi Edvard a little help ?

[[email protected]]

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,

Hi,

Can you please confirm that you have line breaks after every RewriteRule? It should look like this:

Code: Select all

# 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

[Edvard]

You still have a line break missing....

It should look like this:

Code: Select all

# gtranslate config
RewriteRule ..............
RewriteRule .............
RewriteRule .............
RewriteRule ............


You can add 2 line breaks to be sure:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ..............

RewriteRule .............

RewriteRule .............
