I just installed SEO4SMF on my forum which is running 1.1.7 SMF. After the installation I went to admimcp and enabled seo4smf and turned on few option on the first section like pretty url and others, saved it and then everything broke.
I can access my front page (first forum page where the boards are listed) but when I click on any of the boards or threads or menu nothing works. No matter what url link I click on, or which menue option I chose, I keep getting 404 page not found. Here is an example:

Not Found
The requested URL /forum/recycle_bin-b4.0/ was not found on this server.

My admincp is point at "forum/admin.html", which doesnt exist. It used to be "forum/index.php?action=admin".

I cant even access my admincp to turn it off. I am hosed. Please help me ASAP.

OK. I figured it out. But boy that was really scary.
The trick is in the htacess file. Had to rename it tp .htacess and modify it some.
I think somebody needs to make a sticky to tell other newbees about this so others dont run into the same situation I did.

It is better you don't enable this option ever : Beautifying url for forum actions ?

If you enable this, everything may corrupt but as you said above, a small trick on htaccess would solve , however it is scary for big boards =)

You shouldn't enable the choice I implied above

In htaccess

find:
Code:
#uncomment if you use beautifying url actions
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =GET
#RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^action=(.*)$
#RewriteRule  ^(.*)$ seo4smf-redirect.php?a=%1 [R=301,L]

replace with ;

Code:
#uncomment if you use beautifying url actions
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =GET
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^action=(.*)$
RewriteRule  ^(.*)$ seo4smf-redirect.php?a=%1 [R=301,L]

find again ;

Code:
#New action Url's - uncomment if you use beautifying url actions
#RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html(.*)$ index.php?dummy=1;action=$1;$2 [L]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ index.php?dummy=1;action=$1 [L]

change with:

Code:
#New action Url's - uncomment if you use beautifying url actions
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html(.*)$ index.php?dummy=1;action=$1;$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ index.php?dummy=1;action=$1 [L]
