ULTRA URGENT: Advanced permissions backfiring!

Permalink
Hi guys, please help me I have to launch my website soon and minor set backs keeping delaying that. So I need to restrict a guest blogger's access to writing only on the blog page but that's not the matter, so I changed permissions to advance by logging into my website and now the links don't work anymore! The autonav and linked text too! :O

Error 404: Page not found 'The requested URL /about/ was not found on this server.'

What do I do?!! I'm really starting to panic here, please help! Is there some clash because earlier in basic permissions my website was on the memebers only mode(need to have user id/pass) and now it's on advanced where that menu doesn't exist anymore (page view permissions)?

PLEASE HELP me this is very important!! :(

I'm online so feel free to ask to help you diagnose the problem!

Help me undo the advanced permissions please! :(

You can send me a pm with credentials and I can have a look.

This has nothing to do with permissions, but prettyURLs. I tried putting in 'index.php' inside your addresses and it all works fine.

Go to 'yoursite.in/index.php/dashboard/system/seo/urls/' and enable pretty urls again.

You can also check if your .htaccess has been modified outside your control by opening it (in 'public_html/.htaccess'). The file should contain at least the following for prettyURLs to work (and this is added by c5 if you enable it from the dashboard):
# -- concrete5 urls start --
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php
</IfModule>
# -- concrete5 urls end --

With the credentials you sent me I cannot reach the dashboard.

Weird, I just disabled Pretty Urls, since it was enabled presently, that's weird :S. Okay I'll mess around with permissions to get your's working.

I'll try understanding the second para, will post if I need help

Disabling pretty URLs did the trick thanks so much! :)

Though it seems to only be a short term solution as reenabling p-urls causes the malfunction again, any clue on solving this?

How do I do that htcaccess thing? Like what's the url I type in to get there i didn't understand that bit :S

You need access to your source files (like via ftp). Download the file called .htaccess which is located at the root of your c5 installation.
