ISSUE:
1. unzipped drupal to "foo22" folder
2. created "foo22" database
3. http://localhost/foo22 (or could use foo or foo22)
4. entered db info for "foo22"
5. foo22 db installed just fine
6. sitename: localhost admin_foo22 etcetera
7. "Congradulations, you installed Drupal!"
8. clicked on "Visit your new site"
9. "Welcome to Drupal" ... "No front page..."
10. click on "Add new content"
ERROR: Not Found!
The requested URL /foo22/node/add
was not found on this server

Drupal is not "factoring" the URL to redirect it to the appropriate node.

Pretty sure this is a "config" thing.

I'm guessing it's the sites.php

Please ... where and how to "config it" correctly?

Thanks in advance.

Are you aware Drupal 8 is development?

If you are creating a site, Drupal 7 is the recommended release.

I have decided to go all out Drupal 8.x ... passing on 7.x.

Will not post "real web" until after Drupal 8.x is formally released.

Until then, I plan to learn everything I can about 8.x ... as well as contribute any issues I come across.

Still ... I need to get past the installation issues.

Can you help on this issue? Or point me in the right direction?

side-note: have installed Drupal 7 with similar issues.

gdeller,
Since you "have installed Drupal 7 with similar issues" then you are not having a Drupal 8 issue.

"Installation issues" could be local environment issues. Are you using WAMP, XAMP, DAMP, or your own environment? Get one working, and be sure you understand your environment's configuration details.

Common local environment issues (php.ini memory_limit, mysql.sock path, etc) cause installation issues that can be difficult to diagnose. Take time to understand your local environment configuration details.

Also, install drush and learn to use it. It will save you a great deal of time.

Many of us also learn drupal with help from online videos (drupalize.me, buildamodule.com, etc), too.

The fastest path to D8 is through D7.

dear sir

you have to place .htaccess on your drupal web root , make sure that it's allready exist ,

also you have to make sure that you allready enable .htaccess on your localhost

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have htaccess enabled.

Another symptom/clue:

"http://localhost/foo22" - brings up "Welcome to Drupal"

when I click on "User account" it tries and fails to load:

"http://localhost/foo22/user"

BUT
"http://localhost/foo22/index.php/user" - WORKS (brings me to Log in)

Yes, I'm a beginner. But I've been "greping, Googling, Binging" and reading every source available and have reached a "throwing hands in air" moment. And I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Apache setup. Still, at this point, I'd appreciate a "quick fix" answer. Thanks ... in advance.

D:\foo-hosts - conf settings:
	AllowOverride All
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from All

D:\foo-hosts\foo22 - conf settings:
	<none>

D:\foo-hosts\.htaccess - empty file (just comments)

D:\foo-hosts\foo22\.htaccess - the one supplied by d8

Hi gdeller,

by now you surely have D8 running. Your comments helped me get my d8 running correctly !!! And I actually have been running drupal since d6, so major changes in d8 have been a challenge (I even migrated a site's 27,000 contacts into a civicrm distro running under d7).

I used your 'index.php' addition into my queries, and having linked to standford.edu's excellent tech commons site, found the reference to the rewrite to the Drupal subfolder.

So I can now get to all the menus: "http://localhost/drupal/index.php/admin/modules" etc. and can actually update. Seems all is finally working !!!

I am running WAMP: Windows 8.0; Apache 2.2.22; MySQL 5.5.24; PHP 5.4.3

Let me know how you are doing - and thanks again for your post !

That´s a clean url problem.

Create an Apache vhost, add an entry in your hosts file, or, look for how to disable clean urls under D8

barbarae commented

Thanks for the clean url reference.

I did a google search on your idea and found Stanford.edu's excellent tech commons references.

I ended up setting the .htaccess reference to allow Rewrite to a Drupal subfolder and after MANY tries, I can now access/update on WAMP: Windows 8.0; Apache 2.2.22; MySQL 5.5.24; PHP 5.4.3

So I can now get to all the menus: "http://localhost/drupal/index.php/admin/modules" etc. and can actually update. Seems all is finally working !!!

P.S. off that I had to add index.php into my access path, but after typing it into the URL address path, it then worked and continued to be included whenever I selected another menu/function.

I have sucessfully installed Drupal 8 on localhost and it shows me the homepage. But if I click on any link:

Not Found

The requested URL /nofears/drupal8/user was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) Server at localhost Port 80

As per: https://www.drupal.org/getting-started/clean-urls#serverconfiguration

You may need to add / change your httpd.conf ( if on REHLS-like linux ). 

<Directory "/var/www/html">
  #find this line
  AllowOverride None
  #change to:
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>

At least it worked for me.

Hi, I realise this is an old issue, but maybe my experience may help someone else.
I was recently doing a multisite drupal 8 install, using virtual servers on apache. Although the install went OK I was getting url not found errors when I tried using the menus. I went through most of the rewrite settings, but the one that tripped me up was that I hadn't changed the correct directory path in my virtual server.conf. I had left this as the default '/var/www/html'; once I changed this to the correct path for each related site, it all started working fine. Seems obvious once I saw it, but I was looking everywhere else first. 
Hope this helps someone.

As said by 'amroesam' I added .htaccess file from the core installation files and I got this error corrected.
