Should this be in the FAQ page?
One Fix for this problem (at least)[edit]
Having struggled with this problem for 2 days, I was very surprised to find that there is a simple solution.
The answer appears to be to add this line to the .htaccess file in the root directory of the specific Joomla installation:
"Here's what works for me. I'm using Joomla 1.5.3, SEF: on, Apache mod_rewrite; on. Just add this line to your .htaccess."

Just don't forget to comment out this line after changing one's site configuration ...
hope that this helps others. John K
