Links not working
I have setup my first blog ever and this software so far has been the easiest for me to use and implement. I don’t understand the tag code, I do understand CSS. My blog is at http://www.ppscoaching.com/ppsblog/index.php but none of the links work.
The Home button won’t work without the index.php added (but where do I add it?) I setup 3 temporary categoies but I get a page not found. I setup a About Us and a Contact page but they also return page not founds.
Where do I edit these items?
Thanks,
Newbie blog builder :-)

Re: Links not working
I’ve been testing in Firefox and it looks the way I want. I just checked in IE and my header is messed up. Any CSS gurus that know how I can fix the image display for IE?

Re: Links not working
FAQ.
With Textpattern in a subdirectory, you’ll need a RewriteBase directive in your .htaccess file.

Re: Links not working
My IE install just broke, so I can’t test in it. However, viewing the source in FF shows you’ve got two instances of your <head> and <body>. Fix that, and things will probably work better. Also, try marking your CSS down to the minimum (positioning only), so it’ll be easier to figure out what is wrong. You could also elimintae the div surrounding the ul, but that’s optional.
Hope that helps,
JM

OK, so I just add RewriteBase somewhere in the .htaccess file? I don’t know much about code other than CSS and HTML :-) Thanks!

Re: Links not working
This line is in your .htaccess:
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/
Change it to
RewriteBase /ppsblog/
- BTW that’s in that same FAQ ;)

I really appreciate your help. I changed the .htaccess file and now the category links work but that’s it. The about, contact, and archive links still don’t work. Any idea how I can fix those? Home works but it doesn’t work LOL. It goes to the directory instead of the page so not allowed page comes up.
FYI, my host is a windows server using IIS.

FYI, I removed the extra tags but that didn’t do it. By adding a tiny bit of height…it worked. Why, I don’t know but it did and didn’t mess up FF so it’s good to go :-)
