URL links do not work click on URL and page opens with error the error is: No such content exists. The link you are following seems to have been incorrect.
also the 'title' link takes you to the same page: mysite.com//links/detail/2 the 2 changes depending on the link.
but the 'details' link works fine.. and the 'comments'
most of my site links work. the only ones I have found that do not are the URL and Titles.
I did have previously the error with redirect that my site wouldn't load unless it had a trailing /, I then edited the .htaccess and everything seemed to work fine.
yes, that works. Gets me to the Detail page. but in the detail view the Title and URL links both link to: http://mysite.com/links/detail/1
I expect these links are wrong. I supose that at this point (detail view) that both links should be the same, to open the links site.
The only other way I can get to the detail page it to use the 'detail' text link under the short description. these links look like this: www.mysite.com/links/links/LinkName-LinkID#.html
(the fist links dir is where I have the app installed.. the second is a setting enter correct? Where can I edit it?)
Does this give you a better understanding of what is happening?
Since the regular-style links work, you have a problem your URL rewriting. Normally one would think that'd have to be an issue in the .htaccess file, though if the rewrite_base were wrong then the name-id form and the categories shouldn't work either.
these links look like this: www.mysite.com/links/links/LinkName-LinkID#.html
/links/links? Is your directory is in a /links subdirectory itself?
I remember setting the name for the details path at one point before really getting to play with how the site would work.. can you tell me where I find that setting.. I would rather have it set to details rather than links so that it would read mysite.com/links/details rather than mysite.com/links/links
the only change I made to the .htaccess file was to edit the base path due to an issue with the trailing forward slash.
OK... I still haven't got it. but I have found more detail
the URL LINK is 'http://www.mysite.com/links/detail/1' but this link loads a page with this error ' No such content exists. The link you are following seems to have been incorrect.'
the DETAIL LINK is 'http://www.mysite.com/links/links/sitename-1.html' this link works
the URL LINK works IF I enter this 'http://www.mysite.com/links/links/1' rather than the link the system creates.
so.. does this help? Right now I am lost, since I have tried every form of the rewrite_base I can think of.. most will not work at all..
OK... simple answer is that I changed 2 settings in the SEO section of the admin... and didn't know how to change the .htaccess to match..
Is there by any change a thread with this information... ?
In the meantime.. I changed them back to the defaults and all is well.. I also move the site from mysite.com/links to the root of mysite.com I didn't like how some links would be mysite.com/links/links....
So thank-you for your help... a few more comments in the .htaccess file would solve this issue (make it clear how SEO changes are made)

mysite.com//links/detail/2
This indicates there's something wrong with your directory url setting (a trailing slash) or perhaps with your rewrite_base value.

do you think this could be related?

mysite.com//links/detail/2.
oops my mistake.... the actual links do not have 2 // but rather appear as
mysite.com/links/detail/1
so I am guessing that it must be something other than my paths??

yes, my WSN site is in mysite.com/links
I remember setting the name for the details path at one point before really getting to play with how the site would work.. can you tell me where I find that setting.. I would rather have it set to details rather than links so that it would read mysite.com/links/details rather than mysite.com/links/links

Tested and confirmed that even in a directory named /links i only get your message when the rewrite_base is wrong.

I couldn't describe what needs changing any more than saying that the things which use the default paths should be changed to the new specified paths.
