404: Not Found error with old sef urls - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi
i have cleared sef urls after configuration change include category id in url (as had several categories same name). since clearing urls of search engine result links go "404: not found" page.

is there way show related pages similar url/title instead of page.

see yourself
1) google search on "service kit bmw 320d e90 fos"
2) click on 1 of www.fosperformance.co.uk..... links
3) straight 404 page.

it better have 404 page looked similar pages on site user clicks on result rather them having hunt new page themselves. example:
"sorry, page looking may have been moved or deleted. however, may interested in 1 of following pages....." followed list of pages related search string entered search engine or based on url.

any ideas?

i tried solve problem 24 hours!! , finaly got that. here is:

problem installing joomla in sub directory ( not in root)

so solution is:

1- make mod_rewrite > seo settings yes in global conifguration . ( specialy first 2 radio buttun)


2- open .htaccess file in joomla folder , make sure ' rewriteengine on '
3- if u have .htaccess in root make ' rewriteengine on '

4 , find 'rewritebase' , uncomment line (which means remove # line). , write sub folder name ( example line this:
rewritebase /jnews

(jnews folder name in joomla installed)

hope work u . way iam on networksolutions sever.
