Page not found error on entire website except home page

Permalink
I'm receiving a page not found error on every page of my website except the homepage. The website iswww.www.solpowercoopwerative.com.... I noticed the error today. I think it was working fine yesterday. I haven't made any changes to my website recently. I made some small content changes about a week ago but the website was working just fine since then.

I'm not an advanced developer so I'm basically using one of the default templates with content added. I've made a custom 404 page but I haven't gone much beyond that.

Any ideas what the problem could be? My hosting? My code? Concrete 5?

Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated. I just have no idea where to start with this.

Thanks,
Eric

Can't reach your site with the link you provided, can you re-post that so we can take a look at it?

I have Go Daddy hosting. I called them up and they said the problem is that I need to upgrade to the latest version of Apache, v 2.4. After I've done that then they said I need to go in and change my permalinks from A to B, then back from B to A.

I just upgraded to the latest version of concrete 5 from 5.6.0.2 to 5.6.1.2 hoping that would help.

Do you know if concrete5 version 5.6.1.2 is compatible with Apache 2.4, or how I make it so?

Also, how do I change/reset my permalinks?

Thanks for the response. Eric

I just found some similar problems in other forum posts.

The problem went away when I disabled pretty URLs. It seems that whenever GoDaddy updated their Apache or something it could no longer find the pretty URLs.

There seem to be forum answers here:

http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/usage/pretty-urls-and-god...
http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/installation/godaddy1/#51...

I'll have to comb through them all when I have the time and figure out how to turn the pretty URLs back on.

I think it may have something to do with your .htaccess file getting whacked in the apache upgrade.

I don't know if anybody found this fix yet. Apache 2.4 has screwed up the old rewrite rules.

This is the file that works now...

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(default.htm)/?$ index.php
RewriteRule ^(default.html)/?$ index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>


I'm at Godaddy, too, and they gave me this fix. Hope it helps
