[solved] Navigation not working!
ok so I need help getting past the home page! I have the navigation setup just like it came, <txp:section_list> I think the links are working fine. But the locations are absent! “The requested URL /WEBSITE/articles/ was not found on this server.” for example will popup when I click on articles nav-link. There is no /articles/ folder either in the root directory. Is this a common problem? Am I just doing something wrong? What is going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and welcome to txp,
It looks like your server does not support clean urls. What happens if you go to Admin>preferences and change the Permanent link mode to messy?

Also, go to the diagnostics page in the admin side and let us know if it’s reporting any errors/problems.

Re: [solved] Navigation not working!
Additionally worth checking: Have you uploaded the .htaccess file? Systems like the Mac OS hide files whose names start with a dot, so drag’n‘drop installations (as opposed to FTP syncing) don’t create a fully working Textpattern folder.
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

PRE-FLIGHT CHECK
Apache module mod_rewrite is not installed ?
C:\wamp\www\WEBSITE\textpattern\setup\ still exists ?
Clean URL test failed.

You just need to include the file which comes with it in the root folder. You can create it yourself and name it .htaccess. Its contents is
#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options -Indexes
#ErrorDocument 403 default
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} !^$
RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>
#php_value register_globals 0
# SVG
AddType image/svg+xml svg svgz
AddEncoding gzip svgzYiannis

Re: [solved] Navigation not working!
colak your suggestion for the replacment of .htaccess did not allow me to use clean URL all I did was replace the current .htaccess content with what you suggested. I just used MS notepad to do it? If that is the issue… I don’t know. Any help for that would be much appreciated!

The issue may be here, run <txp:php>phpinfo();</txp:php> to be sure. Ask your admin to enable mod_rewrite if necessary.

Hi, My suggestion was the default htaccess scripts which come with txp. I only provided it here just in case you were using a mac and couldn’t view the file. Do replace the actual file with the one which came with txp as notepad might have not saved it properly.
