I have just downloaded and installed a free trial for iRealty, but I keep getting a 404 error every time I click on a link in the Admin section. I can see the main admin page ("[mysite's url]/admin/"), but none of the links work.
I was having a similar issue on the frontend of the site, but now that part works fine. I had gotten a couple of notifications during the install:
Checking Database configuration...
Checking Administrator configuration...
Defining Base URL...
Connecting to FTP-Server...
Cannot connect to FTP-Server
You have to access rights for config and template files manually
Checking mode of files...
Checking mode of directories...
Setting character set...
Creating base tables...
Forming config files...
Writing administrator configuration...
Writing .htaccess file...
Writing admin/.htaccess file...
Please change the access mode to non Apache-writable (644|go-w) for the following files:
.htaccess
admin/.htaccess
apps/adminPanel/config/LocalSettings.php
apps/frontEnd/config/LocalSettings.php
Congratulations!!! The installation was successful!
Go to the admin panel Go to the front end area
Now, please remove the install.php file from the root of the installation folder.
Failure to do so may allow third persons to re-install your software and gain control over it.
...but after some digging I found that I needed to add "RewriteBase /" to the ".htaccess" files. It was after changing this - and attempting a re-install - that the frontend started to work OK.
Does anyone know how to prevent these 404 errors in the admin section? (I've added "RewriteBase /admin/" in the ".htaccess" file that is in the "admin" folder, instead of "RewriteBase /". When I put "RewriteBase /" in that file, it gives me a "300 Multiple Choices" error instead of a 404 error... in case that helps.)
Thanks in advance!
