Sorry; we could not find the specified profile.

that my own htaccess on XAMPP and workz oki;;
yr prob --> need closer looks

At least I get a page view with that. :)

could it be sub domain related?

@Woodward... found that simplecache must remain "OFF" for htaccess to provide both search and URL.  Turn simplecache on and you will lose search.  Spent 8 hours to find this out yesterday.

sweet.. one of these days, i'll get myself a real elgg website too. seems everyone else has got one.. except me ;;

Here is why for those whom are following this tread;

simplecache stores profile as " /pg/profile/xxxx"

htaccess converts profile to ".com/xxxx"

Search looks for tags in profile "/pg/profile/xxxx" not ".com/xxxx"  Thus returning an error "can not find specified profile". as search looks in "user" tags, stored as "pg/profile/xxxx.

complicatedcache ? not "simple" ! but means you woiky doiki now ?!!!

or the reverse not quite sure
