404 Error..please help

I'm still having error. Here is my URL.

http://174.132.159.252/~innwaboy/classifieds.php

if you click on one of those classified links, got error.

Also same thing happens when I try to post a new blog, picture etc. Please help.

Thanks.

Check your htaccess file, maybe htaccess file was not transferred with all the content when the files were uploaded.

Some ftp clients will not upload or download htaccess files, if you are getting 404's the most proper thing to do is to check your htaccess file.

If you can't upload it with your ftp client, here is what you can do,

rename your .htaccess file on your computer, upload it and then rename it back to .htaccess

Enabled the permalinks again if you have Disabled they, 

After you have done this you need to recompile Navigation Menu Builder in Admin Panel -> Builders -> Navigation Menu Builder by moving any block here.

Thanks for your help. I have .htaccess files intact on the server and I also checked them and they seem fine.

How many kb are your htaccess file on your server?

Check also about mod_rewrite is enabled on your server.

The one under root is 7,454.

Also, after installation, I had to edit the URL for the top nav items to see the pages.

For example i had to edit the button manually for photos to browsePhoto.php. Don't know why even it is necessary to do that.

Yes I asked for mod_rewrite to my host and here is the reply.

mod_rewrite is a apache module that is installed by default.

You would just need to add directives to a .htaccess either in the directory where your html is or public_html

could it be the ipnummer you use, and not a full domain name??

@killerhaai,

Put these rules in your .htaccess and save it. You are good to go:

joombyte, i cut and pasted your code. Still no go.

So do you think it is because of the ipnumber I use? It's still in dev stage so I haven't switched my DNS. If that is for sure the case, I guess I will have to do so..any bullet-proof recommendation?

I registered for ad-free paid version. I am wondering if I re-install this, how my registration code will work.

I am not 100% sure about it, but what you can do is to switch permalinks off,

and switch they back when you have switched your DNS.

Admin/Settings/Permalinks and uncheck everything and save it, then check your site about it's correct now!!

I turned off permlinks and some problems seem to be solved. However, here are coupld of errors I still get.

I can view pictures by click this link.

http://174.132.159.252/~innwaboy//browsePhoto.php

But when I click on Top Photos

http://174.132.159.252/~innwaboy/photo/gallery_top

I get error. Same thing for videos etc. I do not see /photo folder being created.

Sorry I forgot

Recompile Navigation Menu Builder in

Admin Panel -> Builders -> Navigation Menu Builder by moving any block here or click on a item and then save it.

You need to do this every time you switch permalink on or off.

Ottar.

I am kind of losing hope on this stuff. Re-installed and now site is as fresh as it can be. Top nav buttons are pointing to 404 pages.

http://174.132.159.252/~innwaboy/index.php

Same thing, inside admin area. If I click on Ray or Orca plugins, have internal errors.

Now I re-installed and re-entered the license code. However, the ad at the bottom of index page didn't go away.

have you tried using a rewrite base command within your htaccess file? since you're installed in a subdirectory, i think you need to point the rewrites to the subdirectory.

try adding

RewriteBase /~innwaboy/

right after your

RewriteEngine on

statement

good luck

Thanks dude, you're my hero!

I've tried several other solutions from this community, but some didn't work at all while others worked parcially (just for the users). This one seems to be working fine :)

I just installed the latest Dolphin and have 404's on my menu. I've read this thread and was aiming to try the .htaccess "fix" but I can not find or see it. I'm on Mac os X if that makes a difference. The sever is Linux, can't find it on my ftp either. Where is it supposed to be?

Highlighting the menu button, I see for example:

video button: http://www.mysite.com/dolphin/video/all/10/1

music button: /music/all/10/1

photos button: /photo/all/10/1

groups button: /groups/all

ect . . .

They don't look right to me.

Hope some kind soul could help me out.

Thank you.

EDIT: I got it. Thank you Joombyte!! it worked!
