When I make new sites in the sitetree, those can not be access either. When I click "return to website" and click the new site in the menu, i get the same error 404.

Why is that??

Thank you SO MUCH for getting back to me and taking the time to check the problem. Pretty URL was indeed the issue. When I disable it, all is fine.

However, I am not a techie and can't seem to find a htacess file on our server atm.
How do I go along and turn pretty URLs on?

Thank you again, was a great help! :)

I have seen some backup programs that ignore files that start with a period (dot). So it most likely did not make the move. Not to worry. In the Dashboard/Sitewide settings/Linking, there is a section of code that that needs to be cut and pasted into a file called .htaccess. Then upload that file to where your Concrete5 site is installed. Let us know if you need any additional help with it :)

Hi again

Thank you very much. I think I need a bit more help. I tried to create a file called .htaccess - however I get a error from my XP prof. - it says "You must type a filename".

OK. Just paste and save in XP as htaccess.txt. upload to website and then rename to .htaccess with your FTP client. Make sense?

I have a question, I know I might be a bit far away from the topic, but I will give it a go ;-)

I have recently tried to make a backup of my Concrete5 site my downloading the whole "dir" from my FTP. However, that did not seem to work the way I had planned. Do you know if I can download the whole dir and just re-upload it if anything goes wrong or I might need to move the site to another host?

I get this from FlashFXP

Skipped 324 files

I use filezilla. I will recursively backup a folder and all sub folders
