Just installed version 5.x it was a clean install and everything went successfully except.

I can't run clean url test. It appears to be missing from the install? No admin folder nothing.

I get the following error:

Not Found
The requested URL /admin/settings/clean-urls 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 installed this system from my fantastico script but it was version 4.7, clean url worked. I removed it and reinstalled it from the .tar for version 5.0 and no clean url check can be run.

Any ideas out on the forum.

This is because you have not set-up your .htaccess

As far as I know, clean urls will only work on servers running apache.

Looks like I am missing the entire clean url utility.

My site http://www.affiliatewebsitepromotion.com is up and running well. I have a joomla site that I am going to convert over soon. But this glitch is really starting to iritate me.

Any help would be beneficial.

And make sure mod_rewrite is enabled, and AllowOverRide is set to All

If you are running virtual hosts, check the .conf file for that virtual host too -- AllowOverride is usually set to None.

I had the same problem for my 5.0 install. Clean URL's would not work, and got 404 errors as well. However, I did have a working 4.7 install that allowed clean urls and I simply took the .htaccess file from that site and put it in my 5.0 install directory and it did the trick. Not sure why it .htaccess came out blank in the 5.0 install when it contained the correct data in the 4.7 install. Who knows, but at least it should fix your issue. I just tried it today, and have had no problems so far.
