    404 error after install

    Installation completes without any errors. The problem is after.
    i can see the home page and thats about it. I cant access the blog or the groups or the forums and I can't access admincp or the login. I get a 404 error. The htaccess file is uploaded.

    Im running the vb5 from it's own folder and it¨s own database inside the same domain. Cookies is set to that folder in the installation. I have more or less tryed any tips given here in the forums.

    vb4.2 is running on bakfylla.org and my vb5 test site is running from bakfylla.org/vb5test

    --- Update ---
    Stupid me had the .htaccess file in wron directory. Moving it to the right place generates a 500 error instead. File permissions are set to 755.

    ***Error message ***

    It sounds like you didn't upload the required .htaccess file or your server doesn't have mod_rewrite enabled.

      I updated the post, don't know if you saw that.
      Anyhow, did a phpinfo test and it show that I don't have mod_rewrite... Still something I should look into since the error is different now?

        You definitely need to have mod_rewrite enabled in order to run vB5 Connect. It is a system requirement.

          Alright. I'll check with my host provider and get back if that don't solve it.

          Thanks for quick reply.

          - - - Updated - - -

          And I'm back. Accoding to my provider mod_rewrite is active. Their support told me I might solve this by adding "Rewritebase /" to the .htaccess file, so I added Rewritebase /vb5test/ and now it works. This how ever results in another problem. I cann not login with my admin credentials. Nothing happens when trying to login. The page refreshes but I'm still logged out.

          - - - Updated - - -

          I can however log in to the admincp with my admin credentials. And after doing that when going back to the main page I am now showing up as logged in.... ???

            What do you have set in AdminCP > Settings > Options > cookie settings > cookie domain? It should be set to .bakfylla.org since you allow users to go to the forum via both www.bakfylla.org and just bakfylla.org
