I have uploaded the database and reinstalled drupal on a live server. But, I get 404 errors every time I click on anything or try to login. Can anyone point me to which files to look at to get the site working? Thanks. This is my URL: http://solona.ca/
how did u re-install the
how did u re-install the drupal?
did u run the drupal install again?
I can visit the about page :

looks your index.php (drupal's entry) is not configured correctly.
good day.
Sounds like you didn't
Sounds like you didn't upload the .htaccess file along with your drupal core files.
.htaccess is an invisible file in your drupal core (root) directory so it's easy to miss if are unable to see invisible files in your ftp program.
If you upload your .htaccess file and still get the same 404s, there's a good chance your problem has to do with clean URLs working locally for you, but not on your host/remote server. In that case i would suggest you go into your drupal site db on your server, browse the system table, find the path module and set status to 0 (turn it off). Then go to System Settings > Clean URLs and test it.
Set status to 0
Thank you jonathan. I think it is the clean URLs causing the problem. I can't figure out how to change the status to 0, though. I found the system table and the path module, but I'm stuck from there.
I'm going to try changing the clean URLs locally and then uploading it that way and see if it works. Maybe if I can log in as admin on the live site, I can change the paths from there...
Same problem
I'm having a very similar problem where using clean urls gives a page not found error but when adding the ?q= in front of the url that page comes up nicely. I'd assume that by turning off clean urls the site would work ok but I can't seem to get them off changing the database item (no administrator privileges).
