Thank you DaveP I searched the forum a bit more and found some similar problems people had encountered and I managed to get it working now! I'm not sure if it was related to the .htaccess you mention, but I changed an entry in my /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file - the AllowOverride was "None" and changing it to "All" and restarting apache has done the trick. I think it allows rewrites to my /var/www folder? Anyway many thanks for your help - let's see if i can make some progress now...! <Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory>

Hello I've got off to a bad start trying to install PW on my local offline server, I must be doing something wrong as I have a bit of experience with Wordpress and it's running fine on my server, but I like the look of PW and hope to try it. Anyway I downloaded and unzipped the PW installation, the installation seemed to go right through ok, everything passed on the check lists. I selected the Default profile, and then when I try to click on Admin access or view the site I get "Not Found - The requested URL /processwire-master/about/ was not found on this server. Apache/2.4.10 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80" Simply because the /about folder does not exist! It seems the profile has not been installed by the installation process despite everything else being ok? If I type localhost/processwire-master in the browser I get the Minimal Site Profile "What is ProcessWire?" page but the links work "About" & "Site Map" don't work as the folders are not there. Bit confused as to why this is missing. Please put me out of my misery if it's something obvious I am doing / not doing! Many thanks - rushy
