Server installation problem- front end error 404

0
hi all
I have my site on localhost and evrything is working fine
I restored through the akeeba backup and kickstart.

But when i put it on the server i had 404 problem in the front end

But i can access the backend normaly and nothing is wrong there.

I think it s smtg related to htaccess.
so i changed the .htaccess to :

#Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
...
RewriteBase /directory ##(my joomla is in the folder /public_html/directory)
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteCond ...
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

Can someone help me in this, and also if someone think that the problem is not from the .htaccess
i accept all suggestions :D

Thanks in advanced
Kike

    Hello Enrique,

    Have you tried deleting everything, downloading the backup file and restoring your site again? Getting 404 errors in your frontend usually means that you were only able to restore part of your site or the restoration process was incomplete. You can check here for more details.

    thank you Tristan Montano for this reply.

    "You can check here (https://www.akeebabackup.com/component/docimport/troubleshooter/post-restoration.html#pr404) for more details."

    What u just send is a very good article :)

    But in fact i did the installation 3 times ,and after hours of research and doing stuff in the server i changed the template and it works fine without the template that im using, and when i change it to my template i have the same error.

    And i was checking why ... i found out that im using a template from : "FreshJoomlaTemplates" and maybe it s the main problem since as they said in some other reply about thread topic that:
    "FreshJoomlaTemplates" is a known malicious template site .....

    But nobody had a 404 problem with his front end before (bc of this template) and that s why i m asking questions now ....

    can you or anyone else give me comments on what i said !!

    Thanks in advance,
    Kike

    Hi Enrique,

    Did you try installing your new template after restoring your website? If that still does not work (but the old template does) then you know your problem is with the new template. Also, try restoring your website and then installing the new template without changing anything in the .htaccess file.

    If your new template has been reported as coming from a malicious site, you should really consider using another template, especially since it's not working for you.

    Thank You Tristan Montano for ur reply.

    in fact it works fine now but i dnt know what was wrong ... maybe in the other installation i changed the name of the database or the pass or i dnt know ...
    i am now changing the template, if it wont take a lot of time .... and then i will unistall it

    but the problem now is on my localhost: i can't access to Extension Manager=> manage to uninstall modules / enable/disable them, i have an error 500 - . And on the server it is working (bizarre)

    do you have a solution for this ..
    and now i m checking a tutorial to unintall joomla 2.5 from my localhost and re-install it :)
    i think it will be the best way ... and if u have another ideas .. let me know :)

    Thank you again,
    Kike

    Sounds like you have quite a few issues with your local installation of Joomla. A clean re-install of Joomla would be the best option. Let us know how that goes for you.

    Thank you Tristan Montano for ur reply

    In fact i restarted my laptop 3 times and now it s working fine.
    Dont know what is going on :D but it s working now and this is the most important.
    In fact i have 3 weeks Joomla 2.5 experience and 6 yrs of java/j2ee.

    And now i have a lot of challenges to do :
    - Search ( fabrik database search )
    - how to get the elements (with lof of articles or other extentions ) dynamic from the database ...
    - If there s a possiblity to add to the menu hidden values and when i click on the article the hidden
    menu must appear
    etc etc :D
    -- you can check my site on : http://www.alpha-real.com/joomla/index.php/en/

    Now I RE-thank you, and if i have any questions i'll add it soon :D
    Regards
    Kike
