Hi Yannick

Joomla 3.10.11 & PHP 7.3.33 apache 2.4 Ubuntu 22.04

I contacted you yesterday but posted in public forum - sorry!

I have both 4SEO and 4SEF on my site https://example.com

I had an issue with a White Screen of Death which was caused by "To many redirects". I discovered that if I entered "index.php" to the end of my base url my site worked. I assumed there must be some form of redirection in my apache setup or in .htaccess file (admintools). I checked the apache setup and vhost .conf files and replaced .htaccess with a default vanilla joomla .htaccess file. This did not work. I therefore put in place a redirect in the vhost file "RedirectMatch ^/$ /index.php" which diplayed the home page correctly (base URL was https://example.com now displayed as https://example.com/index.php).

However I now get 404 errors on all other pages.

Most likely you have some redirects imported by 4SEO from sh404SEF. Make sure you have no redirects created for anything that starts with "index.php" in the 4SEO redirects list. You don't have to delete them right now, just disable them.

Actually, just go to Tools | Redirects | Settings and set Apply all redirect rules to No.

Then clear your browser cache (important, as browser can cache redirects) and try again.

If things work now, it means indeed one or more redirects in 4SEO are causing this so you can enable back redirects globally and search for the faulty one.

If not solved, the next step is as follow:

1 - Disable the 4SEO system plugin

2 - Disable the 4SEF system plugin

3 - Clear browser cache and try

If this works now, we now either 4SEF or 4SEO are involved (4SEF should not as it does not do any redirect by default).

If still does not work, then 4SEF and 4SEO are not involved and the problem comes from somewhere else on the site.

Best regards

I disabled both 4SEO and 4SEF

I solved my issue of blank home page if "index.php" was NOT appened to base URL by adding "DirectoryIndex index.php index.html" to the .htaccess file (although this was already set in the apache vhost .conf file).

Checked all URLS working using Joomla SEF - ALL OK.

Re-enabled 4SEO and once again got "error to many redirects".

Disabled 4SEO and Joomla SEF worked again no issues?

Yes, things cannot work without it at some level.

Disabled 4SEO and Joomla SEF worked again no issues?

So then very first part of my response should apply:

Most likely you have some redirects imported by 4SEO from sh404SEF. Make sure you have no redirects created for anything that starts with "index.php" in the 4SEO redirects list. You don't have to delete them right now, just disable them.
