heres my site:
http://www.cheapdirectorysubmissions.com

and the directory is here: http://www.cheapdirectorysubmissions.com/directory

well at least im trying to get the directory there.

I installed it via fantastico, and I can get into the admin c panel, but the site isnt appearing where I want it to.

Any idea whats wrong?

Access the admin panel again and on the config page ensure Base URL is http://www.cheapdirectorysubmissions.com and base path is empty.

If you still get 404 or 500 errors, see this FAQ entry http://www.dew-code.com/content/view/14/25/

Keep in mind the /directory/ part you see in the URL is the actual php script that makes the whole thing go. Directives in the included .htaccess file tells your web server to treat the directory file as a PHP script, although depending on your version of Apache, the exact syntax may vary. The FAQ link above mentions the directive variations we know about so far.

Once you have the script running and tweaked to your satisfaction, you may also want to review this FAQ entry http://www.dew-code.com/content/view/34/25/

It's about using mod-rewrite to get the script to act more like a stand alone website.

Oh... did you create and install to a directory named "directory" ? While that can be made to work, the URLs will be a bit redundant. You can rename your installation directory to something else and update the base path in the admin config page.

Either way, it looks like this FAQ entry is relevant http://www.dew-code.com/content/view/14/25/

eg; the syntax in the .htaccess file isn't exactly what your server is looking for.

Hi all

I have the same problem after recently installing the site. I have made the addition of 3 lines to the .htaccess file

It however still does not work and results in the 404 Error

Any ideas?

Thanks

Jason

Of the 3 lines you added, the ones that start with # are commented out, ignored by your server. You will need to "toggle" the commented lines, trying each until you find the syntax your server likes.

So if one line doesnt work, add # to the beginning of it to disable it, and remove the # from the next line to try that variation.

Be sure to only have one of the 3 lines un-commented at a time, because that can also cause errors.

Finally, if none of them work, you'll need to contact the people that manage your server. Show them what you have in your .htaccess, and explain that none of the variations work. If they provide another variation that works, please consider coming back and telling us about it

Thanks for that the 2nd one worked.... kinda

The page has come up with lots of broken links and missing images, is that normal and just requires an editing?
