Default Fixing 404 Error on New Install

To any admins who read this - you really need to update your help page for 'getting rid of 404 errors' as it isn't helpful at all. It said to click the 'check server status' or something from the admin panel, but there was no such link, and had nothing which was helpful to me when I experienced this problem.

For anyone else who is experiencing this problem here is what happened to me as it might help:

I installed the script and got 404 page not found errors for everything except the homepage. I worked out that the reason for this is because there must have already been a .htaccess file already there put in by the hosting company, and when I uploaded the script the esyndicat htaccess file did not overwrite it, therefore I didn't have it. I just copy and pasted the contents of the htaccess file that comes with the script and added it to the one that was already in that directory and (touch wood) it seems to be working fine.

Hello kephrira,
Welcome to our support forums!
Please ask your hosting company what rewrite module do they use at their server.
If they haven't any rewrite module, please ask them to install Apache mod_rewrite Module.
It that doesn't help please contact us via HELPDESK, we will investigate the problem

I think you must have replied without reading my message.

oh, sorry, I misunderstand the issue.
Ok, yes, probably the problem is in conflict between .htaccess files.
Probably you should add this line to the esyndicat .htaccess file:
Code:
RewriteBase /
or
Code:
RewriteBase /*esyndicat_folder_name*/
where *esyndicat_folder_name* is the name of the folder where esyndicat is installed.

after
Code:
RewriteEngine on
If that doesn't help please submit a ticket in the HELPDESK with your FTP details, we will investigate the problem.
