Help Please, error 404 on admin and don't know what to do!

[keana]

Hi, First off..... I am learning about .htaccess files and such things but I am by no means knowledgeable yet. I'm sure that this fact has lead me to where I am now.... I have installed Arfooo and I can't wait to use it. It looks perfect for a couple of sites of mine. However after installing I am not able to log into the admin page and I am getting an error 404 on that page. I know the read me covered this topic but I have read that and still can not make it work. Can anyone please help! I would love to finish this install and get using this script.

Some info: the site is http://www.momofood.ca and I have installed it into momofood.ca/directory/ my httaccess file reads as such:

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName momofood.ca
AuthUserFile /home/momofdca/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/momofdca/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php



Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

In the root or in the folder directory?

This is the htaccess found in the folder directory where is installed arfooo?
Normally htaccess file by default is this :

Code: Select all

# Put the line here to enable PHP5

# You may need to un-comment the following line
# Options +FollowSymlinks

# REMEBER YOU ONLY NEED TO STARD MOD REWRITE ONCE
RewriteEngine On

# REWRITE BASE
#RewriteBase /

# HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD THE WWW PREFIXE REDIRECTION

# HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD THE OLD SCRIPT REDIRECTION

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php

Thanks for the reply! I am still facing the same problem.... I am having no luck at all with this script. Im on a bit of a time line to get this done and I fear I will run out... This is what I have managed:

Arfooo is installed in to a folder called "directory" http://www.momofood.ca/directory
the htaccess file is located in the "public_html" root folder and now reads like this:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

# You may need to un-comment the following line
Options +FollowSymlinks

# REMEBER YOU ONLY NEED TO STARD MOD REWRITE ONCE
RewriteEngine On

# REWRITE BASE
Rewritebase /directory

# HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD THE WWW PREFIXE REDIRECTION

# HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD THE OLD SCRIPT REDIRECTION

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php


However I am still getting error 404 and I am still not able to log into admin. I am despite to get this working as I have great need of this script on my site http://www.englishbay.com There it will be used for the business and community directory. These are very busy and key aspects of English Bay.com . I really appreciate all your help in this matter!

Thanks For You Help!!!! Never mind the last post. Somehow the htaccess file I thought was edited and uploaded to momofood.ca was not the one with the modifications, and so did not work. Once I realized that I was careful to upload the copy of the htaccess file that had your suggested mods and it now works!!!! You are a Golden God! Thanks for your help and I can not wait to start using this script.

Bye, Keana

It is great new for you

For my help, with pleasure
Have good WE,

regards,
Arf.
