In the 404 requests page, we keep getting an SEF url of index.php. We have Joomla setup with SEF on and rewriting on. This 404 request comes up multiple times a day. I've set it to redirect to index.php (which should be the front page) but this 404 error continues to come up. How do I resolve this?

Please let me know.

Hi

This is because in case of 404, we only record the path, not any query variable (the part after the ? in a URL). So if a request such as:

yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_xxxxxx&view=xxx&id=yyy

is sent to your site, and gives a 404 (for instance if the component is not installed on your site, or the ids or views are wrong), then this is only recorded as "index.php".

In other words, just delete it and don't worry about it, unless it is marked as "internal". That would mean that bad link is somewhere on your site. If so, you need to find it and fix it.
