Probably, STXtube's .htaccess is colliding with parent .htaccess file(s).

First of all, try applying this post. If it doesn't work you should resolve the issue on parent .htaccess because on Apache webserver, parent always is the dominant one.

If you can't fix it, you can disable STXtube's rewrite system by following steps:

1. Go to your stxtube administration panel
2. Go to system modules/System settings module
3. Uncheck the checkbox near prettify url (url rewrite) and click save.
4. Now, urls should show like http://stxtube.com/demo/?action=show&video_id=hb1084 and working. If so you can ignore next steps.
5. If it doesn't work, it means it didn't saved the settings, go back to system settings at stxtube admin panel
6. check misc / other tab, if there is errors, fill in 'm/d/y' as dateformat and 28 as video per page field.
7. Go general tab, try unchecking prettify/rewrite url checkbox again.

When i click save on System Module, it doesn't save it.

Probably there is some error on some tab. Explore all tabs, you should see an error icon near troubled field. Mostly it is 'Misc / Other' tab. If all fields are null there, fill in “28” for video per page and 'd/m/y' for date format. You can find the full date format identifiers on DateFormat page.
