404 error can be caused by improper server configuration, check if you have mod_rewrite installed.

The problem is probably related to the .htaccess file.

1) You need to make sure that it is in the root directory

2) You need to make sure that your server is set up to do mod_rewrites

3) You need to make sure that the sections related to using .htaccess have the allow override sections set to All , not none..


Then go to http://www.yoursite.com/install/ .

    • register_globals off

Damien, 404 error can be caused by improper server configuration, check if you have mod_rewrite installed. 
Damien

Thank you.

But it is because I put in a folder Oxwall FTP not the root.

But now it's ok

Khevin, Damien or Ross

Can you please tell me what was the solutions for this issue? I have the same problem after copy the oxwall files in the server and each time I try to open the site for installation, it returns a 404 error page. I just check the server configurations and I think everything is ok. I'm pretty sure is a htaccess file problem, but i'm not good with this security topics.


If you guys want to check, i attach the htaccess file that i put in the oxwall folder, which is under the publlic_html folder


thanks for your help

Probably there's mod_security module enabled on your server, contact your hosting provider support team and request to disable it.

Thanks for your response

I just check the phpinfo() in the server and the mod_security module not even appears in the configurations.


What else can be?


thanks a lot
