XF 1.4 Missing .htaccess somewhere

[Nelson T.]

After trying to get Tapatalk to work, my site would not load, so I reinstalled the XF files.

Now the index page loads, but I get this error when I try to go to a forum:

Not Found
The requested URL /login/login 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 believe an .htaccess file is lost/missing that controls friendly URLs.

How do I fix this? If I need the file, where do I get it?

Rename the default htaccess.txt file in the installation root to .htaccess.

Or create one from this: https://xenforo.com/community/htaccess.txt

Thank you- that got it up and running. The logo is not showing (the address is correct and the file is there- I checked).

What could that be?

 

[Paul B]

The logo shows fine for me.

I cleared my cache, and the logo, ads, avatars, and shoutbox are not showing up, though are properly set and present.

No graphics at all show up:

I know I did something stupid. Can someone please help? Thanks...

What does that indicate? Permissions?

Oh man, I am dying here. I keep goofing this up to try to get Tapatalk back.

1. In the set of files and directories you just uploaded, you will see 2 folders: data andinternal_data.
2. These two directories must be set to world writeable (CHMOD 0777) or give the IUSR_ Full Control in Windows.

Make sure to check the recursive option as well.
