[solved] News article 404 page not found

douglas1438 · Post by **douglas1438** » Thu Apr 25, 2013 3:58 pm

Seem to be stumbling from one problem to another with my site.

I'm now receiving 404 Not Found errors for all my news articles, I have a variety of default article pages but none work, although summary pages do. I've found various forum posts relating to the same problem but no solution at least not one I understand.

I have pretty URLs enabled, have cleared cache and updated routes.

I have looked at other sites I've created and nothing appears different, URL takes same form. htaccess file the same.

Thank you Rolf.

Had already visited that page and double checked detail pages are active and not renamed.

Okay and when you disable pretty url, does it work then...

OK, pretty URL's disabled and news now works again. So I assuming must be .htaccess though haven't had a problem with filesupplied with CMSMS before. Contents of file below:

You have {metadata} tag in the <head> your HTML template?
Your website is *not* in a subfolder? So not website.com/folder/index.php...

Check that you do NOT have a fysical folder 'news' in the webroot.

douglas1438 · Post by **douglas1438** » Fri Apr 26, 2013 9:38 am

No, no physical folder 'news' in web root, and yes, {metadata} tag in template, site is in root not a sub directory.

OK, have tried various combinations of code. I've removed category tag and now General category works but no others. Any thoughts anyone?

Do you have the server time zone set, is the server in the same time zone as you, are the articles using expiration..?

Post by **velden** » Mon Apr 29, 2013 7:33 am

I don't think it's in the .htaccess as

http://www.compasscommunity.co.uk/index ... ey-results works
and
http://www.compasscommunity.co.uk/index ... ew-website does not. I expect .htaccess to rewrite to those url's.

So it can be in the way cmsms handles routes (I thought the developers call it so) or within the news module.

What dr.css probably refers to is another topic (or on IRC) where there is a problem with expiration (start/end time) and server time zones. But I would expect that that would lead to a maximum 24h problem.
