install problem

[roelof]

Hello,

I installed apache on my linux box

then I made a directory called processwire in the /var/www folder.

There I copied the whole contents of the zip file into the processwire folder.

But when I goto localhost/processwire I see a 404 error.

Anyone a idea how to solve this ?

What has you set as DocumentRoot in httpd.conf of Apache?

[pwired]

But when I goto localhost/processwire I see a 404 error.

goto localhost/, does the index.php there open up normally ? Put a few test scripts in www like testmysql.php or phpinfo.php, etc. Do they open up normally ? Check if the Apache module, rewrite_module is enabled.

Since your processwire install is in a subfolder down the root www, did you adjust .htaccess ?

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /processwire

Are you using friendly urls ?

# If your processwire installation is in a subdirectory, change the following line to match the physical

# path to the "root" of the site as follows:

# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /path/to/subdirectory/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cms/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
