Hello,
I am new to PW and can't figure out how to get it to work. I'm working on a project and decided to use something different than Wordpress for once.
The install went perfectly fine, not a single error, but after that I got stuck at the basic home page. Navigating to the subpages of the Admin Panel leaves me at the 404 page. Now I did find other topics containing the same problem or something like it, but none of the suggested solutions worked for me.
I am running Xampp 5.6.12-0 on OS X El Capitan (for what it's worth). In the htdocs folder I have a folder for the website which contains the Processwire files.
So heres the current state:
mode_rewrite is active/working.
In http.conf I've set all the AllowOverride to
AllowOverride All just so that I didn't pick the wrong one.
My .htaccess file it recognized (I did the 'aklvjsdvdislaj' test ;] )
I read somewhere that it was better to comment these three, so I did:
#Options -Indexes
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options +SymLinksifOwnerMatch
I tried commenting/uncommenting these:
# RewriteBase /
# RewriteBase /my%20website/
# RewriteBase /~user/
Uncommenting the first one gets me redirected to the Xampp dashboard.
The second one does nothing for me in this state except showing the same 404 page but if I change it, like adding /processwire/, I get Internal Server Error 500. And if I uncomment the third one I don't get the PW 404 page but the basic 404 page.
So at this point I'm getting a little tired of putting so much effort into simply getting an CMS to work. But I do think Processwire is perfect for my current project.
Thank you in advance,
Roy
