XF 1.5 Error: Requested URL /forums/... not found on server

[tombricker]

I just purchased XenForo and have been in the process of installing, configuring, etc. for the last several hours. I've encountered a few issues, but have been able to resolve them all via Google and resources I've found on my own. However, after setting up my node tree with all of the forums I wanted, I went to actually access those forums, and I get the following error message:

The requested URL /forums/chit-chat/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I don't know what could be causing this issue; I assumed when I created a forum node, it would automatically populate that, but it isn't for me. I don't know if there's a simple setting I'm missing, or if it's a larger problem.

Here's my url: http://forums.disneytouristblog.com/

Thanks in advance for the help!

Try disabling Friendly URLs in the ACP: http://forums.disneytouristblog.com/admin.php

If it then works, it's due to the .htaccess file missing or the server not being configured correctly.

Wow, talk about a quick response and quick fix. Thank you so much. Now off to figure out how to fix the .htaccess problem! Thanks again!

If the .htaccess file is missing, you can just rename the htaccess.txt file.
