You should specify a page name without any extensions. For ex: "mypage" (not mypage.html)

I do not know what you have done.

What do you mean by "I changed the "p"?

Did you remove "p" from the .htaccess file? Without it you will not be able to access any pages...

But problem with it - you can not create any pages and name it starting with the letter "p".

The solution I used - in the .htaccess file I changed letter "p" to word "page-".

Also you will need to make same change to your footer.tpl file which generates bottom menu.

Now instead of page named "pabout.html" you will have "page-about.html" which is better for SEO.

Also you will have no problems with any pages named with leter "p", "partners" for example...

Let me know if this helps.

I changhed "p" with "de" (it has a sense in my leanguage) but the content of pages is gone. I can see content in my admin "manage pages" but not on the website.....

tihomir,
Check your directory. You should have done all modification.
Please do not miss the step like this, it's important for modification:
***Open .htaccess and find rule***

# mod_rewrite rules for additional pages
RewriteRule ^p(.*).html$ page.php?name=$1 [QSA,L]

p - change it to your symbol.
***Save changes***

Dave thank you verry much but now the news are gone. Enter on www.ponturifierbinti.com and try to see the "News" is say "not found", also one of the pages that is in top of page apare with "p" but is "not found" to, i don`t know what to do and i m litle embaraset that i ask you to help me, it was better if i diden`t chamge the "p"....

tihomir,
Ok, check it now. For some reason instead of this rule for the news page

# mod_rewrite rules for news page
RewriteRule ^(.*)-n([0-9]+).html$ news.php?title=$1&id=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^news.html$ news.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^news([0-9]+).html$ news.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]

in your .htaccess there was the following rule:

# mod_rewrite rules for news page
RewriteRule ^de(.*)-n([0-9]+).html$ news.php?title=$1&id=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^news.html$ news.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^news([0-9]+).html$ news.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]

:)
If you have any problems, please do not hesitate to ask question.
