Basic noob q about the sections

Sorry, this is very simple question, but i just don’t find solution.

I’m creating a simple website, not a blog. I have craeted a bunch of sections like: Bio, Gallery, links. etc. Then i have created a couple of page templates and 1 article for each sections.

I have a frontpage where the Sections show correctly on the left column, but when those links are clicked it opens a page: mysite.com/section name. but as there is no subfolders with the articlename i get normal (non textpattern) error page.

How do I get the section links to link to my sections with content?

I get the sections list with this:
<txp:category_list label=“Categories” this_section=“1” type=“article” />

I have read the textbook etc. but this might be just too simple thart it’s not written anywhere.

Thanx.

Re: Basic noob q about the sections

A section list will just take you to /section_name.
Sounds like you’ve got something else wrong.
Is your diagnostic run resulting in a “passed”?

Re: Basic noob q about the sections

Thanks for the replies.

I run diagnostics and get this list:
.htaccess file is missing ?
The following PHP functions (which may be necessary to run Textpattern) are disabled on your server: proc_close, ini_alter, show_source ?
Clean URL test failed.

So I probably need to fix those.
I made a .htaccess file like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

But that brakes the whole site. I dont know how to enable the PHP functions on the site. Need to figure something.

But thanx anyway.

(breaks)

What do you mean, you need to “enable the PHP functions on the site”?

Re: Basic noob q about the sections

This line on diagnostics:
“The following PHP functions (which may be necessary to run Textpattern) are disabled on your server: proc_close, ini_alter, show_source ?”

Dunno does that matter. I try to copy my files to other server where diagnostics don’t give any errors. It might be that there i tried in the root of the site as this problem site is in a subfolder of a other site.

Re: Basic noob q about the sections

Thanx. I didn’t know what to look from the FAQ at the first place, but this helped a lot. I changed the permanent link mode to messy and now it works. It’s messy but at least it works.

Thanx all.
