    Hi there,

    I’ve just installed a fresh version of modx 1.0.5 on a clients server and added content/styling etc, but noticed that only the homepage works. The website: http://www.merseysideathleticsforum.co.uk

    As you’ll notice the homepage works fine, but the links to the other pages do not. I’ve checked the resource alias of the pages and they match up fine, the preview function also does not work on these pages and i am greeted with a 404 error.

    Am i right in thinking this could be a .htaccess problem?

      It does look like it’s related to .htaccess.
      If your .htaccess file is in place and named correctly, then it’s possible that the mod_rewrite module isn’t installed.
      In the manager, under Reports > System Info, view the phpinfo() page, you should be able to see "mod_rewrite" somewhere there. On mine it’s in the apache2handler section, under Loaded Modules.

        Fixed the problem, used a .htaccess from another clients website that also uses the modx cms. Both .htaccess files seem completely different, and the one i experienced problems with was from the default installation file.

        Thanks for the help.
