I have cloned a live Magento 1.5.0.0 site to my development server (windows wamp)
the development server does not have an .htaccess file in the roor directory but i have copied one into my root directory from another magento install?
Every thing seems to be configure ok the database is connected ok, I have set up alias which loads the index.php page ok but the url's do not work , so if i click on the contact us page the server error is:
The requested URL /vhosts/petextra/magento/index.php was not found on this server.
The adress bar url for the same is: http://127.0.0.1/petextra/contact-us/.
If I manualy type in the index.php in the address bar
http://127.0.0.1/petextra/index.php/contact-us/`
then the page loads ok.
Some how the url is not including the index.php?
Has anybody got any ideas why this is happening?
ensure that:
mod_rewrite is enabled on your dev site
.htaccess is in place
.htaccess file > RewriteEngine off
or turn off url rewriting from magento admin configuration>web> Search Engines Optimization > Use Web Server Rewrites > No
The same thing happened to me, The problem was that i enabled the search engines Optimization but later switched to NO. is working fine after that

hi i`m very new to magento.i'm working on already developed eCommerce site which is developed by magento.i installed in my local machine.there is some url rewritings issues in it.here is my live instance http://test.cstoremaster.com/.
every thing is working fine at my live instance but at my local machine it's not working fine,every time i need to put index.php at my url.even some pages were redirecting to my www folder it's like localhost/aboutus...help me
I am not sure this solution would work but you can try.
Login to you admin panel.
Go to System->Configuration.and click on Web tab.
Under Search engine optimization set the web server rewrite
to "Yes".
Save the changes.
Now clear the cache if any enabled and check on frontend the problem of adding index.php should be fixed.
Hope this will help.

After duplicating our web store onto a new server, copying the database over and changing the base url/safe base url in the db, all we get from the copied installation is the front page. That is, no custom url redirects work (for products, the admin panel, etc.), they all result in a 404 (and not the magento 404, the server default). Do you have any ideas what I could check out? Could there be an issue with one of the libraries included in magento?
I tried reindexing with /shell/indexer.php - which executed successfully but didn't fix the redirects.
Any ideas? Note I cannot access the admin panel via /admin because of this issue.
Edit: solution was .htaccess file missing in root directory
I added the sample htaccess file from the magento installation (I uploaded a copy in case someone finds it useful: http://sdrv.ms/13mw8Ok), and mod_rewrite was activated the next time I visited the site.
Make sure your vhosts file is setup correctly to allow mod_rewrite
Make sure your .htaccess file is setup correctly
How to enable mod_rewrite for Apache 2.2
You can access your admin through /index.php/admin in the meanwhile.
I have to two stores each having different domain. They are hosted on dedicated server with SuExec disabled. I have copied the .htaccess and index.php and everything works fine.
The problem I am having is with my 2nd store Web Server Rewrites. As soon I enabled this for the 2nd store which is using symbolic link to the root directory, it starts giving page not found error.
domain2.com/index.php/abc.html ----- Works Fine with Use Web Server Rewrites Turned Off
domain2.com/abc.html ----- Does not work with Use Web Server Rewrites Turned ON
The base store works without any problem.
Any help is much appreciated.

-> Flush The Magento Cache
Goto System->Cache Management
Refresh the catalog rewrites
Goto All Cache and change drop down to Refresh.
Click save
On most server, this should take out the index.php in your URL’s.
If you are getting a 404 error, continue reading.
-> Fixed Mode_Rewrite Errors
Please check you webserver configuration.
Do you use Apache? Maybe there is something like "AllowOverride none" in your configuration which disables .htaccess-files (the .htaccess-file in your magento-root-directory defines the rewrite-rules).
The most common cause for this is that you have an incorrect .htaccess file in your ftp.
Goto the magentocommerce.com site and download the magento files again.
Extract the files, and ONLY upload the .htaccess file to your Magento root directory.
This should fix any problems related to enabling the use of web server rewrites in Magento.
I was facing the same problem above, but now i solved already. The main reason for that problem is .htaccess file. By replacing .htaccess file with magento default .htaccess file solve all the problem. Web Server Rewrites Turned on or off, you can do as you like.
After saving the configuration, don't forget to clear cache.
I've just moved a Joomla 1.7 site to a new server.
Administration back-end works fine. Configuration.php seems fine. Get "The requested document was not found on this server." for every page other than Home.
Must be talking to the database OK or I'd get an error. Could this be a problem with the PHP?
Thanks,
Andy
Did you clear joomla cache ?
Disable page and/or module caching.
Disable any plugin that optimizes "loading speed".
Try removing SEF URLs (Joomla! and any 3rd party extension).
If you are using a custom .htacess, then use an unmodified joomla one.
Disable some system plugins.
Disable modules in the homepage.
Have you tried using another template (site) ?
You have Seach Engine Friendly URLs enabled in /administrator/ area's global configuration settings. You have probably enabled the option to use the mod_rewrite function which removes the /index.php/ portion of the urls.
It is a requirement of this mode that you have the .htaccess file in place in the root of your site. You probably had this correctly configured on your development server but perhaps forgot to move the file across when you went live. Some FTP programs hide dot files (files starting with a leading dot in the filename) so depending upon how you transferred the files (I'm guessing manually with FTP rather than Akeeba backup or similar) the file may have been missed. Look through your FTP client's options/preferences for an option to show/hide hidden files.
Failing this - the file could be correctly in place - but if you were developing in a sub-folder on your development server you would have set the RewriteBase line to your /sub-folder/
RewriteBase /sub-folder/
Now you've moved to the live server this line could be incorrect. If this is the case, edit the file to Read
RewriteBase /
Chances are it is one or other of these issues - missing .htaccess file or incorrect RewriteBase. A third and nowadays somewhat more unlikely option is that your server doesn't have mod_rewrite enabled - but I think that would result in server 500 errors.
Check whether you are using any modules that is calling database and you have not changed DB details in that module after migration. If admin panel is working fine then I think problem with some modules that are used in front-end. You can do debugging by disabling few suspected modules and check whether your site works fine or not. Else provide some more information about your site so that I can check further.
I took an akeeba backup and moved it to a new server - the site as it exists has an 'enter page' that's plain html and then joomla is installed to a folder called 'site' so its mydomain.com/site is the Joomla root. The new server does not have a domain pointed to it its just an ip with a username like so the public html is http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/~user/
so I put my 700mb backup into the http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/~user/site folder (without ssh you can imagine how long this took) put the kickstart files in there set up the db on the new server ran the kickstart.php with both with the default settings (a blank site url) and trying to set the site url (http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/~user/site) both ways the akeeba/kickstart backup went off without a hitch - I go to the site's default and it looks fine I'm actually amazed how smoothly it went but if I click the about page or any other page I get a 404.
If I run the same backup on localhost the menus don't load at all so I don't know what thats all about. I have very limited Joomla experience am mostly a wordpress guy - any ideas why the install and site is running fine but I'm getting these 404's?
Most likely the problem is with the SEF URLs. You need to change your htaccess file. Look for:
RewriteBase /site
Change it to:
RewriteBase /~user/site
