Cant Login As Admin

[Greenerpastures]

Hi everyone

I have installed processwire on my vps, I got no install errors and copied the admin url at the end of the install.

Yet I can not log in as admin, I just get an error explaining this page does not reside on the server.

I can browse to the admin.php page but then I get the error message, this page can not be accessed directly.

And although the homepage opens, none of the links work.

I have processwire installed on my computer under easyphp, and have no problems whatsoever.

Any help would be much appreciated, I do not want to reinstall processwireI as I don't want to have fragments all over the drive

to avoid slowing down access times.

Should be at domain/Processwire but it's not loading as you say so looms like maybe a htaccess issue with URL rewrites.

Not sure what you mean about fragments on the hard drive. Any disk fragmentation would be pretty negligible in terms of impact I would think and it's not usually something you would worry about with web hosting to my knowledge.

Hi, thanks Pete

I copied the .htaccess file from my computer to the server and nothing has changed.

I understand that fragments are not a huge issue, but I am new to this and by the time

I get up and running that may change.

I have e107 on this server and no problems with it, I shut that down owing to

uncertainty about its future, they have a new release but theres a lot of

the older stuff that does not work as it should with it. so I changed to processwire.

Could the database be a problem, I set mine up as utf8

This sounds like an issue with your "RewriteBase" in the .htaccess file.

Hi Pete

I got it sorted, I edited httpd.conf as apache was not reading the file, I found this out using a program on my server, by searching for porotected directorys

under "/"

The program showed up the htaccess files but commented they were not protecting any directory.

I also edited the .htaccess file to un-comment BaseRewrite and all is now working, I will re-comment this later to clarify whether or not

it is neccessary for me, and for further clarity I would also like to mention I am running on centos6.5.

For anyone interested, I re-commented the "BaseRewrite"  directive in my .htaccess file

and so far, all is working as it should.

The only file I needed to edit in order to access the site links and

admin area of my processwire installation was my httpd.conf file,

 where I made some changes to the "Allow Override" directive,

I then restarted apache with, service httpd restart ,to ensure apache

picked up on the changes to the httpd.conf file.

There is also a "README.md" file included in / with the processwire download

which gives some good clues to solving such issues, well worth taking a look at.
