Major Problem: SEF, Mambelfish, 404-Page - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hope right board.

i have strange, urgent problem.

had site mambo 4.5.2 ,sef turned on , custom 404 page running. fine. lot of links in google.

now after changed joomla 1.04 mambelfish running sef not working anymore. read in threads on different forums. 1 part of problem, , if one, live it, 404 functionality on our server (hosted webspace) more strange.

i try explain behaviour examples.

our website http://www.xxxxxx-xxxxx.de/cms

one no-sef link

http://www.xxxxxx-xxxxx.de/cms/index.ph ... &itemid=73

no try provoke 404-error , type:

http://www.bartels-logistic.de/press/in ... &itemid=73

i custom 404-page: http://www.xxxxxx-xxxxx.de/cms/index.ph ... &error=404

when type:

http://www.xxxxxx-xxxxx.de/cmms/index.p ... &itemid=73

the wrong subdirectory (cmms) change right on (cms) , on correct page.

but, , thats major problem, when url 1 of prior sef-generated (links still @ google)

http://www.xxxxxx-xxxxx.de/cms/content/view/49/118/

i plain hoster default 404-page.

when link is:

http://www.xxxxxx-xxxxx.de/cms/conten/view/49/118/ (see missing "t" @ word "content")

i see custom 404-page again.

can explain me behaviour? seems directory/word "content" responible this.

thanks help!

first, intended doublepost, because including kind on answer problems. second mod, don't think topic in right place now, cause be, see within answer, more general problem.

after more testing came conclusion, not working sef, , wrong 404 error handling have same reason. word/directory "content" 2nd subdirectory within url -> http://www.xxxxx-xxxxx.de/cms/content.

after while thought, okay sounds crazy, but, why not making directory call content within cms-folder. , know what! working now. sef, 404, mambelfish, everything.

so, curious, why? ideas?

anyway, maybe information helpul others, kind workaround, simple on. no core-hacking needed
