Sections not accessable and "not found" when accessed directly

Hi all, I’ve been having a hell of time configuring a site on Network Solutions server. I’m pretty sure it’s an .htaccess / server problem because I cannot get clean URL’s to work no matter what I try (including every suggestion in the clean URL thread). I’ve configured textpattern with no issue on other servers and haven’t yet had an issue with sections.

anyway, at this point I’m ok with messy URL’s, but for some reason I cannot access site sections either through the “browse” drop down or by accessing them directly.

Please have a look:

http://www.ownerlogic.com/

I’ve created 3 extra sections: blog, about, and test. I have no issue assigning articles to sections (they appear in the “write” tab drop down) but when it comes to viewing sections or linking to them directly, I can’t figure out how to access them. I did see the TXP article on linking to sections, and even when I link correctly, it doesn’t work. When I do a default section link, it links correctly to the homepage. I’m confused and somewhat frustrated.

Thanks

BTW, Here is my current .htaccess file (works on my other servers and the only thing that didn’t cause a server error):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

DIAGNOSTICS:

Your version of PHP has security related risks. Please turn register_globals off or update to a newer PHP version.

They’re accessible, since they don’t give a 404.

• http://www.ownerlogic.com/?s=blog
• http://www.ownerlogic.com/?s=about
• http://www.ownerlogic.com/?s=test

They just don’t appear to have content in them.

As for clean urls, are you sure that your host provides you with mod_rewrite?

Thanks Mary, I’m going to put a call in to the host today. I can now see that the sections are available, but why don’t they appear in the browse drop down?

The browse dropdown lists categories, not sections, unless you do <txp:popup type="s" />. :)
