de/index.php not found

[peterdejong]

I get this for each language and I get each time a 404 error.
My website does a lot of reference to /index.php to get back to the homepage.

How to fix?

Hi,
If you remove index.php from your URL it should work properly.
Also you can try to add the following lines to your .htaccess after "RewriteEngine On"

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]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

This works but if I am on this URL: http://www.coachdejong.com/en/ for example.
When click on 'Home' top menu I get this URL: http://www.coachdejong.com/en.html

Same thing for all languages.

Hi,
You can write a rule in your .htaccess to remove .html

Hi,
You can write a rule in your .htaccess to remove .html

Please give me a rewrite example?

[Yana]

Hi,
Please try to add the following rules in your .htaccess file to add trailing slash . Hope this will solve the problem

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://coachdejong.com/$1/ [L,R=301]

PS I use Joomla en the Gtranslate system module.

I put in the lines in .htaccess but I still get links like: http://www.coachdejong.com/de/de.html/

This is now for Gtranslate in my .htaccess file:

# GTranslate redirect :
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.coachdejong.com/$1/ [L,R=301]

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]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

Hi,
Please check if you have installed the language code or language filter plugins please disable them.
Also please check joomla general options and try to disable "Adds suffix to URL" .

[peterdejong]

I am not aware of any of such plugins.

Maybe you can take a look?

I have enabled the Gtranslate account and send you a PM with the login details..

[Yana]

Hi,
I disabled "Adds Suffix to URL" option. Please check.

[peterdejong]

yes, that works!

I changed this line to : RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [L,R=301] to make it generic.

Thank you !

[Yana]

You're welcome!

[peterdejong]

That worked, thanks.
