Dashboard not found...
Permalink
Hi all, total newbie here...
I've managed to install C5 successfully on a portable XAMPP installation in Windows 7, so far so good...
Managed to create my own theme, and played around with a few addons... all worked well
Logged out and back in again, but when I try to access the dashboard (the icon is there), I get a page not found error.
I have no idea at all how to fix this, but it's quite worrying. I'm a web designer with some rudimentary PHP and Javascript skills, and looking to move to a reliable CMS.
Any ideas on what the cause of this issue is? and perhaps more to the point... how to recover the dashboard?
The dashboard folder still exists in 'single pages' folder

The dashboard folder still exists in 'single pages' folder
so when you go to site.com/index.php/dashboard/sitemap what happens
I get a C5 styled page stating:
Page Not Found
No page could be found at this address.
Back to home <-- link

No page could be found at this address.

I got the same thing. In my case, it was the .htaccess file, that did not have this text in it:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I opened it up with TextEdit (basic text editor on the Mac), pasted those instructions (overwriting everything that was there). Then I tried again, and got a message that C5 requires PHP 5.1 (I am sure it was on before). When I deleted the data there, it reverted the setting on my server to PHP 4.x. I logged into my server PHP management page, set it to v. 5, and voila! Dashboard is back.
