Admin page only shows main site

[Praxea]

Hi Everyone, I've done some googling and found some potential results but they must not be my problem or I'm having an issue phrasing it properly.

I am very new to processwire, I have a fresh install with the basic user template, nothing had been modified from the default settings. When I try to the admin login link or the /processwire/ directory on my site, it just shows the main site. No login options... it's just the same as the host url. Did I overlook something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!!

Welcome to the forums, @Praxea !

It seems a common .htaccess issue, please take a look on this post: https://processwire.com/docs/tutorials/troubleshooting-guide/page3

Thank you @Sérgio this was exactly what I was looking for! I really appreciate the prompt and helpful response! I'm just starting with processwire but it seems so lightweight and fast that I think I'll be sticking around for awhile!

You're welcome! 

And do stick around! You're going to love PW. And to help you on future searches, a tip:

Add this link to your bookmarks, it's a Google custom search on the forums: https://cse.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=014789015761400632609:fxrf0rj4wr4

Off topic...Hi @Sérgio, is there a way to prefill that Google custom search engine with query parameter?

Like https://cse.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=014789015761400632609:fxrf0rj4wr4?q=some+keywords

That way I can add it to Google Chrome like they do here http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/create-custom-search-engines-google-chrome/

I tried https://cse.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=014789015761400632609:fxrf0rj4wr4&q=repeater and it worked. 

Note that q is the second parameter, so use &q=some+keywords.

Great, thank you!
