Am I Missing Files?

Permalink
All "green" indicators were displayed in the Concrete4 pre-install screen. Entered all parameters into install screen (username/password for database, database name, etc.)

Successful install displayed by Concrete along with Concrete5-assigned admin password.

Clicking link to go to site results in successful display of Home Page.

Clicking "login to edit page" link works. admin login/password works.

Website pages can be edited.

Problems arise when using Dashboard functions:

Reset Admin Password - Does not display (404 Error)
http://www.mydomain.com/concrete/index.php/login/-/forgot_password...

Oddly enough, some functions actually do work but the post-action generates a 404 error. For instance, if I use the forgot password function, a 404 error is displayed BUT within a few minutes I get an email with a new password in it. The new password does work.

So could this be some type of path error??

The Concrete5 config file appears to show the right path:

define('BASE_URL', 'http://www.mydomain.com');
define('DIR_REL', '/concrete');

Looking directly into the folders, I see that some have no content.."files" for instance is empty.

Am I missing files? Is the download file from Concrete missing files??

Thanks.

Most of the folders in the root of a concrete5 install are used for user content, like themes and uploaded files,pics etc. You can make changes to concrete5 here without have to hack at core files. Then when you upgrade your files don't get removed when the core changes.

/concrete is where the core stuff sits. (obviously!)

Double check your permissions on the /file directory just to be safe.

As far as the 404 problem, I found this
http://www.concrete5.org/index.php?cID=2563... which might give you some ideas.

This probably hasn't helped a whole lot, but there are some really knowledgeable people around so just hang in there and I'm sure you'll get an answer!
