Site Navigation not working
I have been bashing away at trying to get Textpattern 4.0.5 working on my Debian host. The BIG stumbling bloch is that no links work from the front page. I just get a 404 error. I am not sure if this is something to do with the fact I can’t get clean urls working but even when I use messy urls I cannot link to other sections.
My .htaccess file is
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
</IfModule>I have googled for answers and tried various Rewrite Rules but 4 days of frustration and I am no further ahead.
BTW mod_rewrite is enabled and textpattern is installed in my document root (/var/www).
Any suggestions welcome
Regards Joe

Re: Site Navigation not working
Thanks. Now solved. Looks like the .htaccess file was not being read. I did have AllowOverride All in httpd.conf. I have now created a <Directory /var/www/> section in httpd.conf and put the rewrite rules there and all works OK.
I’ve also ordered the Textpattern book from Amazon for some light bedtime reading :)
