links not connecting to created sections

I am using TextPattern for the first time and testing it locally. I am using this format to link to sections.
<ul>
<txp:section wraptag=“li” link=1 title=1 name=“about-erma” />
</ul>
I have created all of the corresponding sections, but when I click on the the link I get this response.
Not Found
The requested URL /erma/about-erma/ was not found on this server.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks in advance.

Re: links not connecting to created sections

You would need to use absolute paths.

<ul>
<txp:section wraptag=“li” link=1 title=1 name=“/about-erma” />
</ul>

You could also use txp:section_list instead.

Still sleeping Matt? :D That is Textpattern’s txp:section tag, and you just adviced to use invalid section name… :D Made me laugh, so good advice though.

Do you have ModRewrite enabled on your server? If not, enable it. What you said, it seems that clean URLs don’t work, and the possibly reason is cause modrewrite that is disabled. Other way around is to use Textpattern with messy urls, by changing permanent link scheme to messy under your TXP prefs.

Thanks, I had problems getting clean urls to work in the installation. I will try you suggestions later when I have access to the computer it’s installed locally on.

Thank you guys so much. Switching to messy URL’s worked. When I go live with the site, I will be sure to get clean URL’s working.
