URL re write

[leeshindig]

Hi


Ive installed Newtopica in ... /financialnews/index.php


But I cant get the URL rewrite feature to show my category when I click.. just get 404 error message...

Its fine without the URL re write selected..


any ideas..

Well, we would need to know about you server, and your htaccess file.
Have you had a successful install that uses mod rewrite on this server in the past?

no I havent used it yet...

Ive checked with my host.. ht access is enabed on the site...

I tried adding my route folder to the error 404 code in ht access code see below..
