Fresh install without error notifications, admin and all links throw 404

Hey all, this cms looks very promising and I'm very anxious to give it a go.

But, I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I extracted the files to /var/www/p21/ then changed the permission to 775 and 664 with owners neil:www-data

I ran the web installer which didn't have any hick-ups. Opened the site at <myip>/p21/ to see the sample front page looking ok.

but, when i click on any links, or go to <myip>/p21/processwire/ i get 404s saying something like one of these:

The requested URL /p21/about/ was not found on this server.

The requested URL /p21/processwire/ was not found on this server.

The requested URL /p21/templates/ was not found on this server.

with this at the bottom:

Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at <myip> Port 80

any hints on to how i should debug this?

I've tried using the zip, tar and git installation methods

I've tried chmoding everything to 777

i've tried chowning everything to www-data:www-data

am i not handling the .htaccess file properly? I don't really know how to use them that well.. yet.

did it not install properly?

do i need to set something in the config?

or am i not meeting the requirements and the installer didn't notice?

if i turn on the debug mode, how do i check the logs?

any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

neil

Thanks a bunch for the quick reply you guys, I'm sorry I asked the same question, but that post didn't come up in any of my searches...

That link was exactly it, so easy that I could fix it from my phone ssh on my way to work :)

All i had to do was go to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-defalut

and change the virtual host entry in the section <directory /var/www/>

...

AllowOveride None          <- i changed this to AllowOveride All

...

Thanks again, can't wait to dive into this CMS and hope it lives up to its reputation for custom data types and fields :D

The CMS is much better than it's reputation. You will see for yourself :)

I am TOTALLY seeing that for myself :D :D :D

Even with little to no php experience, I've been able to accomplish exactly what I wanted to do, with very little fuss using the api. And my needs were very custom... where drupal and simpleCMS failed me, processwire succeeded.  Ryan is a godsend for creating this project!
