Description of my issue:

I have a livesite with this issue www.faakersee.net but copied the side to a sandbox www.web-start.at/demo

I am a novice so in advance apologise for any stupidities.....

After I activated the 1) .htaccess via the akeebatool and setRedirect index.php to the site's root to YES

 and 2) activated in joomla konfiguration the URL rewrite I get following error: Not Found

The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Why is it still looking for index.php if I activated the redirect to the site's root?

If I use the old Url: http://www.web-start.at/demo/index.php/de/ the site is still active.

The rewrite url gives the error http://www.web-start.at/demo/de/

I used admintools to repare database & fix permissions and set the site cache to none.

I attache the .htaccess as a .txt file

If needed I can send you the admin & passwort.

Thank you in advance

Best regards,

I assume you're using Admin Tools' .htaccess Maker. Your .htaccess file needs an update whenever you are transferring your site to a different domain and/or directory. Please go to your restored site's back-end, Components, Admin Tools, .htaccess Maker. Scroll all the way down. Set the following:
