Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: (1.5.25)
PHP version: (5.2.9)
MySQL version: (5.0.95-community )
Host: (optional, but it helps us help you)
Admin Tools version: (2.2.0)

Description of my issue: I don't know that this is related to admintools or not, but for the first time on one of my websites where I have installed admintools I have attempted to enable Joomla core SEF and it breaks the site, regardless of which core SEF options I enable.

When I turn it on, clean cache, then load a page, it comes up completely blank (white) even the home page. To see if it was caused by the .htaccess I copied back in the old, generic joomla .htaccess. This seemed to make no difference. I may try installing, enabling sh404SEF, but would prefer to not go there if it is something simple. Ideas?

Subject should read: Core Joomla SEF broken

Core Joomla! doesn't break with Admin Tools. This site is the living proof that Admin Tools (including a .htaccess file generated by .htaccess Maker) and Joomla!'s core SEF are best buddies. I think that you may be using a caching engine such as APC or MemCache which is not correctly configured on your server, causing the blank page.

Nicholas, I really woudn't think so as well, but I report what I see and maybe it helps someone else.

I did have a couple of cacheing programs installed but they were not even enabled. Just to be sure I uninstalled them and tried again. No dice. I also made sure that core cache is/was disabled.

I did not want to go there but I installed sh404SEF and it worked. I have no idea the root cause, but it is working.

The most likely cause is that one of your components had a broken router file. sh404SEF doesn't use the components' router files (it uses its own), therefore isolating this problem.
