    I can't figure out what's causing these 404's. Just followed this guide to set up friendly URL's but I'm getting 404 pages:
    http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Using+Friendly+URLs

    Troubleshooting info:
    - Running centOS 6.3
    - MODx is installed in the root
    - Domain name has been set in .htaccess according the guide.
    - Base URL and Dynamic resource tags are used in the template(s)
    - This is a clean MODx install...

      What is the content of your .htaccess file? What happens when you rename it (disable)?

        I can't reproduce the problem anymore. I did a backup restore yesterday and everything's working fine now. I'm using friendly URL's with an untouched/ unedited .htaccess file. I think it was a problem unrelated to MODx...

        Frogabog, thank you for your support!
