[SOLVED] HELP! - News Module Detailed Page not found

[quethiock]

Hi

I hope someone can point me in the right direction as this has been a problem troubling me for over a year, and have been working round/ignoring it up until now.

I create a News Item, and publish it with both a Summary and Detail page and the Summary block shows correctly. However, when you click on the link for [more], it gives my custom 404 error report page saying (after my general blurb) that the following page was not found:

Your Requested Page : /news/35/141/Next-Meeting.html

(the title of the News Item was "Next Meeting").

Here are the various configuration files:

Note that the above RewriteCond was re-written late last year by our Hosting Provider to deflect a DDOS attack by a particular User Agent configuration through repeated and data heavy POST commands but the problem I am describing was happening before then.

To me, it looks to be a problem with Pretty URLs not working correctly for the News Item Detailed content (the Pretty URLs have always worked correctly for normal pages). I have cleared the CMSMS Cache (and gone through all the other options in 'Site Admin' --> 'System maintenance'), even re-installed the site once but no change. There have been several upgrades to the News Module since the problem first appeared so I don't thuink it is in the News Module (how dare I even think that!! but I am starting to clutch at straws now).

There's nothing showing up the Hosting Company's Error Report option under cPanel, nothing in /error_log, nothing also in /admin/error_log, so I don't know where to look now.

Any help/guidance would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance for any input/suggestions/solutions.

D'oh!!

Just found the solution! I was using a Page Template to display the Detailed content of the News Item .... and the Page's status wasn't active!!
