Home does only load with /index.php - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

best,

i have installed joomla 2.5 on homepage. sadly not load with: http://www.sloshed-media.com
but load http://www.sloshed-media.com/index.php
what do?

i tried putting htaccess (at right spot ) yet not work either:

########## begin - 301 redirect
#
options +followsymlinks
rewriteengine on
#
directoryindex index.php index.html
#
rewritecond %{the_request} ^[a-z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*(index|home)\.html?\ http/
rewriterule ^(([^/]+/)*)(index|home)\.html?$ http://www.sloshed-media.com/$1 [r=301,l]
#
rewritecond %{the_request} !^post
rewritecond %{the_request} ^[a-z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.php\ http/
rewritecond %{server_port}>s ^(443>(s)|[0-9]+>s)$
rewriterule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.php$ http%2://www.sloshed-media.com/$1 [r=301,l]
#
rewritecond %{http_host} !^(www\.sloshed-media\.com)?$
rewriterule (.*) http://www.sloshed-media.com/$1 [r=301,l]
#
########## end - 301 redirect

cheers,

try changing 1 rule @ time.

rename current .htaccess file htaccess.txtold time being.

edit configuration.php file default sef setting enabled.

code: select all

   public $sef = '1';
   public $sef_rewrite = '0';
   public $sef_suffix = '0';

open fresh copy of htaccess.txt file supplied joomla.

only add rule .htaccess file handle order in files accessed browser:

code: select all

##### begin - file order rule #####
directoryindex index.php index.html
####end - file order rule ######

then solve issue , leave else in place.

try site then.

if works expected work introduce rules need/want site.

checking functionality of site @ each stage.

if not work please run forum post assistant provide information try , resolve issue.
please follow instructions in post , program pack closely.
