This may help some of you that get 404 when setting up the extension-less urls available as of version 6.4. If your site does not already have the lines in green in the .htaccess file or does not have a .htaccess file and your creating it.
Change:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^category/([^/.]*)/?$ /categories.php?cat=$1 [QSA,nc,L,B]
RewriteRule ^products/([^/.]*)/?$ /products.php?cat=$1 [QSA,nc,L,B]
RewriteRule ^manufacturer/([^/.]*)/?$ /manufacturer.php?man=$1 [QSA,nc,L,B]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ proddetail.php?prod=$1 [QSA,nc,L,B]
</IfModule>

To:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options FollowSymLinks
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^category/([^/.]*)/?$ /categories.php?cat=$1 [QSA,nc,L,B]
RewriteRule ^products/([^/.]*)/?$ /products.php?cat=$1 [QSA,nc,L,B]
RewriteRule ^manufacturer/([^/.]*)/?$ /products.php?man=$1 [QSA,nc,L,B]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ proddetail.php?prod=$1 [QSA,nc,L,B]
</IfModule>

Don't make excuses. It's what you do, not why you didn't.

I didnt find this anywhere, so posting it here

If you are using ASP version, the URLrewrite only works with : IIS 7, IIS 7.5 and IIS 8

Def not with IIS 6

Hi for those on Godaddy newer servers its not necessary to add those lines, the following will work.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^category/([^/.]*)/?$ /categories.php?cat=$1 [QSA,nc,L,B]
RewriteRule ^products/([^/.]*)/?$ /products.php?cat=$1 [QSA,nc,L,B]
RewriteRule ^manufacturer/?$ /categories.php?man=all [QSA,nc,L,B]
RewriteRule ^manufacturer/([^/.]*)/?$ /products.php?man=$1 [QSA,nc,L,B]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ proddetail.php?prod=$1 [QSA,nc,L,B]
</IfModule>
