Description of my issue:

Hi I have this tool with the url redirects working on a number of sites on our own server - I have installed it on another site that is hosted with Go Daddy and I am getting 404 not found on this server messages when trying to create a redirect. I have checked (in directly) on the server requirements and the above specs in addition to:
• Minimum 16Mb of PHP memory_limit. More is better.
• The PHP function opendir must be available.

are met. There may have been url redirect set up prior to adding this tool, but there had been on one of the other sites I added this tool too so I don't think that is the issue. There are no other sef tools on the site. One thing that is ringing alarm bells is an error message that is stopping me from clearing the cache, I am guessing you are going to say this may be causing the issue, but I thought I would see if there were additional considerations.

Cheers Lyndsey

Do you have a .htaccess file on your site and enabled SEF URLs in your site's Global Configuration? These are the other two requirements for URL Redirection to work.
