I receive a 404 not found when i try to access About, Articles,Contact
I’ve just installed a new template and i have the following problem:
When i click in the left-menu on any of the link’s (About, Articles, Contact, Archive) i receive only an error page:
Not Found
The requested URL /test/catalogue/about was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
What did i do wrong?
Previously i had the default template, on which i didn’t do much of work before installing this new template (i believe it’s called roowhaline).

Re: I receive a 404 not found when i try to access About, Articles,Contact
I’ve posted in the wrong section, sorry about that..
I’ve switched to messy URL’s
The url’s work this way:
http://www.mydomain.com/test/catalogue/index.php?c=about
but in the left hand menu the link’s remain in this format: http://www.mydomain.com/test/catalogue/about and if i click on any of them, i get the 404 error.
I’ve tried to edit the .htaccess file, still the same problem, and now i’ve removed the .htaccess file completely. Still cannot find what’s wrong.

Hi these link point to a sections or categories that doesn’t exist in your install then you must creat them, or the problem is kind of url rewriting pb (maybe you dont use the same scheme like the template!
Good luck

Sorry, but i’m not sure what you mean.. if i open the same link this way “ index.php?c=about “ then it works fine.

hello again. Looks like your textpattern installation is in a sub-sub directory (ie. /test/catalogue/) — is that correct? I thought you installed it into /catalogue/ under the root of your existing domain. I must have got that wrong.
If clean URLs aren’t working, then there’s probably something wrong with your .htaccess setup. You might want to double check that you actually uploaded that file.
Some other thoughts…
- Are there any red warning messages at the top of your installations
admin > diagnosticspage? - You may need to edit the template’s pages or form a little — but I’m not familiar with this template so I can’t point you to the right section.
- Please make sure this isn’t a browser caching issue after you switched over to messy URLs.

hi net-carver
this is what i’ve done now:
-i’ve put back the .htaccess file
-i’ve taken out all the #, except the last one
-i’ve modified row 8 this way “RewriteBase /test/catalogue/” to point to the sub/sub folder.
.. and you were right about this one too net-carver, it was the sub-sub directory… in the .htaccess… when i previously edited that file, i wrote in only the sub directory (“test” instead of “test/catalogue”).
Thanks again… i usually manage to fix the difficoult ones, but i always need help with the easy ones.. :)
All works fine now… until the next one :))
