I'm a new beginner to Joomla. I'm trying to build a website with a sub domain of joomla (free sub domain). After successfully setting up and installing the database plus other components according to several beginners' tutorials, where I successfully upload several templates, I try to test the link of my website but all I get is this error message:
The requested page can't be found.
An error has occurred while processing your request.
You may not be able to visit this page because of:

If difficulties persist, please contact the System Administrator of this site and report the error below.
404 Article not found
How can I really go about solving this issue because after intensive research I have found out that this error message is very common for beginners when it comes to Joomla.
Some Suggestions:
SEF URLS
Try using a non-SEF URL to access an article to see if that works.
For example, check in Content -> Articles for a valid published article ID (the article IDs are in the last column at the right hand side of the page) and access the page using a URL like this:
http://[your-domain-name].com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=xx
where xx is the article ID.
If this works, then your problem has something to do with SEF URLs or URL Rewriting.
You can temporarily disable SEF URLs and URL Rewriting in the Global Configuration.
.htaccess
A badly configured .htaccess file could cause this issue.
Assuming the .htaccess file exists in the root folder of your website (e.g. in the /public_html folder) then try copying .htaccess to .htaccess.old as a backup and reset the .htaccess file to the default settings by copying htaccess.txt to .htaccess.
htaccess.txt should also be found in the root folder of your website as part of a normal Joomla install.
Test whether this fixes the issue.
Third Party Extensions
Try disabling any SEF related third party extensions.
I have a strange problem with Magento Connect Manager: firstly, if I cliick the "settings" tab, the page redirects to an the 1and1.com.com homepage with an affiliate link suffix (1and1 arent my hosting provider).
Similarly, if I try and uninstall / reinstall any extension on the "extensions" page, the same 1and1.com page appears in the window below the list of extensions (where you would normally see the installation being actioned).
I am also unable to install any new extensions / or uninstall any existing ones. I'm guessing this is the result of some malicious code being inserted somewhere?
does anyone else have any similar experience or any idea how to fix?
Thanks in advance.
Rollback your updated htaccess to default magento htaccess and clear your cache and test again.
OR
In your current htaccess file you may find some urls like
http://www.yourdomain.com/
update them to your website url.
I am using Magento 1.7.0.2
My Store admin URL is for example: http://www.mydomain.com/index.php/admin
I want to Rewrite this URL as : http://www.mydomain.com/admin
I have also tried "Admin Rewrites" Magento Extension, But it couldn't Help.
Currently I can't work directly in live website as it may lead to big trouble, So I am working in LOCALHOST now.
How Can I Achieve this ?
Thanks.
I got my solution from this following Blog Link:
Magento Admin URL Rewrite - Set /index.php/admin to /admin (Javascript required)
Admin Rewrites (Magento Extension)
The just linked blog-post is referencing and explaining the usage of a Magento Extension called Admin Rewrites (Magento Extension).
The extension itself is available on Github and can be installed via Magento Composer Installer and/or Modman:
https://github.com/clockworkgeek/Magento-Admin-Rewrites
Alternatively it is also listed in Magento Conect (Magento Conect 2.0 Key).
Another method of doing this does involve modifying a core Magento file (which is a big no, no for upgrading purposes) but works all the same: http://www.code007.ro/magento-how-to-remove-index-php-from-admin-url/
I have a website that is live and a version that I am working on locally using XAMPP. For some reason every time I try to load:
http://localhost/websitename
or
http://127.0.0.1/websitename
it goes to the internet version. This has only started happening. All services are started. XAMPP is working for all other sites that I am working on locally.
Check your site settings as I believe you're having the url in your website set to the live version.
This can have alot of reasons.
What does your windows host file have for redirect rules (C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/host) I assume that you use Windows because you said "xampp", correct me if im wrong)
Check for header(); redirects within your websites php scripts.
Do you have a v-host entry redirecting you to another url in your v-host config of your apache?
Check if you have any hard-coded url's? or redirects? in the project that are redirecting to the live version.
I have a magento site running locally using WAMP and it works great. However I need to create a different site so I created a folder for this new site under htdocs.
In that folder I loaded the Magento files.
Created a new database for newsite with all rights in phpmyadmin.
Went to the localhost:8888/newsite and started Magento installation wizard.
In the configuration section of the wizard I entered all the info required: db name, user, password. For URL Base I used the default (http://localhost:8888/newsite). Selected allow charts and Allow apache rewrites. Finished installing magento.
Now magento is running on newsite. I can see the front and back-end of the site.
Here is the problem: When I create a category and/or subcategory, magento does create the menu link but when I click any category, the browser takes me to a 404 not found. Upon analyzing the URL that took me there i see that the URL is : http://localhost:8888/newsite/category.html BUT by adding "index.php" into the URL (http://localhost:8888/newsite/index.php/category.html , the page does work!
So this means magento IS creating the page for the category but the linking is somewhat wrong.
Now, I've been making sure that rewrite is enabled and after all, the other site I mentioned I have is working properly, so I assume rewrite is properly enabled.
So I need help finding:
Why is one site working and the other isn't?
How can I fix this issue?
Thank you!
Sounds like you haven't copied over the .htaccess file (in your Magento root folder). You need this file for the Apache rewrites to work.
