Joomla Site is broken when SEO is enabled.

My site is installed in a sub directory from the root of my web site. And after I set SEO settings to "Yes" including renaming htaccess file nothing changed. I still didn't get SEO friendly URL's.
Then I tried to install third party plugins like "Alias For Page Title Plugin"
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/sef/2434

and URL's came out as wanted but my "Search" function got broken. If I typed anything in "Search" I will get broken page error. I tried to turn on/off different settings in Joomla SEO - nothing works. So I found how to fixed it. 
In your Joomla installation directory there is a configuration.php file. In this file there is a line
var $live_site

It was empty so I added my site to it http://www.duotales.com/ to be like that:

var $live_site = 'http://duotales.com/';

After that my site is SEO friendly and everything works

Here is an explanation why you need to do that.

And here is more resources:

My developers found it is time-consuming to go thru each of the items, click on the issue, comment then click on another one.. They wanted to see all of them in the file. Apparently it is not very straightforward and I wish Jira developers simplified it by making an Export button at the top of the right corner. Here is how to do it.  When you are in the Next-Gen Project go to Filters - Advanced Issue Search Add caption Then filter for what you would like to export and then in the upper right corner click on Export button and choose what format you would like.
