Configuring gallery module settings I got a note from Drupal that the .htaccess file in my defined drupal folder was not writable - which it showed as my root - i.e. site.com.
took a look and hey - I didn't have a .htaccess file there at all.

Whipped up a blank txt file and named it .htaccess and figured Drupal would write to it whatever it needs. it didn't.

Now, I've got a homepage but nothing else. I get page not found errors on every other node.

No admin section, nothing.

Anyway to fix that??

start over??

Any help appreciated.

Have you tried downloading a copy of Drupal 5 (if you don't already have a copy) and copying the .htaccess file over to your root directory? It should work. (fingers crossed xx :)

Yep. that's what I did. Fixed it.

Strange that I didn't have one already.

thanks for the reply.

If you're on a Mac and you used ftp to upload files you'd already unzipped, some Mac ftp clients ignore dot files in their transfers unless specifically told not to, alas.
