Can't link to section
I followed the instructions in the FAQ for creating static pages. I created a page in the “about” section. If I try to access it at http://mysite.com/about/, I get the message “requested URL /about/ was not found on this server”. Sure enough, when I look in my root drectory, there is no subdirectory called “about”. I’m sure that I am doing something wrong or misunderstanding the FAQ. Can someone steer me in the right direction?

Re: Can't link to section
Are you sure clean url’s are set (in admin > preferences), and that they actually work? If your permanent link mode is ‘messy’, then the url would be mysite.com/index.php?s=about.

Re: Can't link to section
You may be right about the clean url’s. I tried the ‘messy’ url you listed and that worked. However, the Permanent Link Mode is set to /section/id/title. Do I need to change it to something else?

Re: Can't link to section
It’s possible that your server doesn’t support clean url’s. In that case only permanent link mode ‘messy’ will work. To find out if that’s the case, you can start with this FAQ.

I believe I have found the problem. I had to change /etc/apache/httpd.conf from
AllowOverride None
to
AllowOverride FileInfo
Thank you for your help!

Thank you! I was having the same problem on my local install, I thought I had tried everything and that it was just not possible for me to have clean url’s. This made it work! Thanks again :)
