# MODX supports Friendly URLs via this .htaccess file. You must serve web # pages via Apache with mod_rewrite to use this functionality, and you must # change the file name from ht.access to .htaccess. # # Make sure RewriteBase points to the directory where you installed MODX. # E.g., "/modx" if your installation is in a "modx" subdirectory. # # You may choose to make your URLs non-case-sensitive by adding a NC directive # to your rule: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA,NC] RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / # Rewrite www.domain.com -> domain.com -- used with SEO Strict URLs plugin RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .

Redirecting (URL Rewriting) with Joomla
To enable URL Rewriting in Joomla you will need to copy and paste the following code into your .htaccess file.
# For security reasons, Option followsymlinks cannot be overridden. #Options +FollowSymLinks Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
<base href="[[!++site_url]]" />
Your System Settings look the same as mine, so I doubt if that's the problem.
Are you on an Nginx server or a Windows server by any chance?
My suspicion is that it has to do with the SSL setup, though if it works with SSL off, that's less likely.
Do you have this tag in the head section of all templates (be sure to include the exclamation point):
<base href="[[!++site_url]]">
# deny access to _all_ files in the core, including changelog.txt and error.log # original borrowed from owncloud # line below if for Apache 2.4 <ifModule mod_authz_core.c> Require all denied </ifModule> # line below if for Apache 2.2 <ifModule !mod_authz_core.c> deny from all Satisfy All </ifModule> # section for Apache 2.2 and 2.4 IndexIgnore *
Is there anything relevant in the MODX error log or the server error log?
Have you tried temporarily renaming the core .htaccess file?
