How-to: Search Engine Friendly URLs in Joomla 1.5 with PHP 5.2

When you enable the feature "Search Engine Friendly URLs" in Joomla 1.5, your articles may show incorrectly with PHP 5.2.

The best way to resolve this is:

1. Rename the file htaccess.txt to .htaccess in your Joomla's root directory;

2. Set to "Yes" the feature "Use Apache mod_rewrite" in the SEO Settings

Alternatively you can downgrade your PHP version to 5.0 and the problem will be also solved.

Joomla is a powerful software that is easy to work with once you have the right host to support you. Before you lose any more time with the wrong host, check out the hostlantern Joomla hosting offer.
