Jake, that's how API keys are supposed to work. It's not some random number; if you ask for a new key for the same URL from the same Google account, you'll get the same API key again.
The API key wouldn't be the problem anyway. There's something wrong in your Joomla code on the server. You need to look at your server log; it should write an error message there when you access the page. Impossible to guess from here what that error might be since no one can see your server code. That's also why you didn't find much help searching the Maps API groups; it's not a Maps API problem at all. (The Maps API is not loaded from your server; it's loaded from the browser after the web page is downloaded to the browser - and we're not getting that far because of the 500 error.) -Mike On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 8:21 PM, Jake Mabey <[email protected]>wrote: > I'm needing to find out how to generate a totally new API key for my > website.
