Joomla/SMF: Login Integration Fine, but 404's in SMF...

Okay, I may not have consciously not noticed the DOT-htaccess, but that is what the file is called.  I downloaded it, resaved it as .htaccess.txt and then uploaded it back to the server. . . then renamed it on the server as .htaccess and no dice  :'(  This seems like it ought to be so simple.

Is there a file on the server named htaccess.txt, in addition to the file named .htaccess?

toob:
I renamed that "oldhtaccess-orig.txt" but even after deleting that file, with the .htaccess file in place, it still isn't doing any good.  It will work, however, if I disable SEF, but since the renaming is so easy (or supposed to be!), you would think I would still be able to enjoy the benefits of having SEF, in theory, anyway!   :)

OMG.

You need to delete the .htaccess file, and rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess in order to make SEF work.

You made this far more complicated than it needs to be.

All you needed to do was take the file htaccess.txt and overwrite whatever was in .htacess.

Now you have completely deleted it?

toob:
Yipes!  No, I did NOT delete the .htaccess file.  It is there, just like that,

.htaccess

no .txt after it.

(I deleted the renamed one that I left there as my own paranoia thing which I'd originally renamed "oldhtaccess-orig.txt" and left on the server.  I am paranoid about losing things permanently, believe me!)  So there is only one .htaccess file and it does not have txt after it or anything.

After browsing the Joomla forums, I even went so far as to double-check with my host to ensure that mod_rewrite is indeed enabled on the apache server (which it is).  I can't imagine why this isn't working.  Thanks for trying to help, though, and sorry to get you so frustrated.  I suppose my option now is to disable SEF as the links seem to work when it is disabled.
