News works, but not link? v1.2

[Ravel]

Hi,

News works (gets added, displays, etc) but when clicking on the link to a particular news article, /news/articleexample-n1.html, page cannot be found error.

Maybe I just missed a quick fix or something on the board.

Thank you
J


Using Pro version 1.2, updated with Patch 1.2.01, updated Cron files, updated PayPal Fixes (purchase-complete.php, post_paypal.php), using Minimalistic template.

Who is your host?

PLEASE!!! When you ask question - post a link to the page that is not working.

Hi,

For now hosting w/godaddy. See link: http://www.toprealtyblogs.com/news/new-free-service-n2.html

1. Make sure page news.php is uploaded to your server - I tried to access it and get 404 error
2. Make sure news functionality is enabled in the admin panel
3. Option "Use external URL" is set to "no"
4. Check .htaccess file and make sure it looks exactly like the one that came with the script.

Thanks for the reply.

>Cannot find/see in admin panel

4. Check .htaccess file and make sure it looks exactly like the one that came with the script.

Try this...

Find this line in the .htaccess file:# enable mod_rewrite

Replace it with this:# enable mod_rewrite
Options -MultiViews

If it doesn't work next step is to get "normal" host (not GoDaddy or Yahoo)

Thank you very much, that corrected the news link. I replaced above with:

# enable mod_rewrite
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on

Curious, would this change the ability for engines to crawl the entire site?

Opposite - it should help spiders to find pages that were not accessible before.
Same way if you can't see the page - nether the search engine.
