Getting "The requested URL was not found on this server

[melvint9]

None of my page links work, I continue to get the following error: The requested URL was not found on this server...

for example. when i click "EPE Home" link which show as "http://poseidon/melvin/epe3/cms/prs-home/prs-tech-help" I get the error... BUT when I edit the url directly and include "index.php?page=" to where the url is now listed as "http://poseidon/melvin/epe3/cms/index.p ... -tech-help" then my page display...

I'm guessing it has to be an configuration problem dealing with the "root_path", but I'm not sure...

please post your config.php but don't forget to hide your database username and password

Sounds like you had pretty URLs set in the config and then somehow they went wrong. Did you move the site or ? ...

Check steps in http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/configuration/pretty-url

here are my config.php and .htaccess files bellow:

you might want to check the RewriteBase setting in your htaccess, it looks a bit mixed up to me

Besides that, it seems it is being overridden by some other htaccess or setting from Drupal 7 which seems to be setup on the root of the domain. If you look at the source of the error page, it seems to be issued by Drupal, not by the server. Either Drupal is trapping the error or the htaccess on the root is, overriding all other settings...

[melvint9]

Drupal isn't loaded anywhere on server...I would have to check to review the .htaccess file on root... I'm using the htaccess file installed with CMS Made Simple... does anyone have an example of what my htaccess file should resemble...

Jo, what do you see to determine Drupal 7 setting?

If the link you posted is the real one, I just took a look at the source, and got this:

You can count how many times the Drupal word appears. However if you don't have it installed it may be that your host has some custom redirecting on errors of their own.

I also think your not proving enough data... (actually I may be wrong about this... sorry I didn't see the Secure url warning you gave. My apologies )
