None of my internal links work
Okay I’m pretty new to txp and I’m trying to make a site but it’s just not working out to well for me. I’ve set up my home pc with an apache server on it, php, mysql and I got txp working. I found and set up a template that I liked b/c I couldn’t take the time to design my own site. I got everything working except when I click on a link on the top navigation structure my browser tells me that the page doesn’t exist. I have a main page and I can post articles on it but when I try to click on the link to go the “about” page it just tells me that page doesn’t exist.
For instance, when I type www.mysite.com it would bring up the home page, but if were to type in www.mysite.com/about it just tells me that it isn’t there. I know that txp is supposed to generate those pages so that is where I am lost. Perhaps I set up my server wrong or maybe I’m doing something wrong in txp. And yes I have read the faq and searched the forums, I understand the idea behind sections and how they work, I just can’t get them to work. I’m really new to this but it would be extremely benificial for me to learn textpattern, I just don’t have the money to use a live server. So if someone could please help educate me I would love you forever.

You might need to modify the .htaccess in your site’s root and add a rewrite rule. (Also, make sure you have mod_rewrite installed and turned on.)

Re: None of my internal links work
Okay so I messed with my .htaccess file a bit and got it set right as well as the httpconfig file but I am still not getting any pages other than the home page. I switched to messy links and it didn’t work either. But I think the reason for that is because the template is setup for clean links. I’m not very familiar with how to write the links so I need a little help, is there a good article I can read?
For example. I have a form called topnavbar but the links are set up in section/id/title form. How would I make a link to an about section using messy links? I know this probably seems elementary, but everybody’s got to start somewhere. Thanks for the help.

I <a href=“http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?pid=102905#p102905”>dissected how messy URL’s are formed</a> recently. Not the most thorough thing out there, but might be enough to get you started.
