New install - links do not work

[LakeDiver]

Hello all, I have recently discovered CMSMS so this is my first time installing and using it. I am also new to PHP. Everything installed correctly and the site comes up however when I click on a link it errors out and says "The page cannot be found". Also the path is shown in the address bar.

example: http://www.liaisonrecruiting.com/index. ... tent_types (when I click on the "content types" menu)

The links work in preview mode. I can add content to the menu and it works in preview mode as well, but when I look at the site live it fails. Is this because of permissions in the database or something? Any help is appreciated.

It's an issue with pretty_urls.  Some server configurations don't play nicely for one reason or another.  Set the use_pretty_urls setting to false in config.php and you should be fine.

Thank you very much! That worked. Now I can start playing around with customizing the layout.
