Browser only displays index of site after install

[newvision]

I just installed vers. 1.9.3 on my pc using wamp. After the install, I click on the link to go to my site and only the index of the site shows up. The admin works fine. When I click on the preview within the admin, I still get just the index. I have other versions of cms installed on wamp. 1.9.2 and that site works fine. I've checked to make sure that I am using version 5.2.11 of php.

Hi,

Have you checked your .htaccess file?

I was not aware that there was an .htaccess on personal pc with wamp. where would I find that?

I uninstalled the News Module and site came up. But then creates another problem - not having the News. Off to the Module forum

There can be. It depends on what you have configured. Have you specified 'mod_rewrite' URL rewriting in your config.php? Does your wamp install's apache server config enable mod_rewrite? If so, then you may have a .htaccess in at least your $config['root_path'] directory.
