Tristan, please check whether you have .htaccess file. If yes, please paste it content here. 

Yeah my ht.access file is in there here is what it says.

Options +FollowSymLinksRewriteEngine On
AddEncoding gzip .gzAddEncoding gzip .gzip<FilesMatch "\.(js.gz|js.gzip)$">  ForceType text/javascript</FilesMatch><FilesMatch "\.(css.gz|css.gzip)$">  ForceType text/css</FilesMatch>

it shoud look like this: 

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

AddEncoding gzip .gz

AddEncoding gzip .gzip

<FilesMatch "\.(js.gz|js.gzip)$">

  ForceType text/javascript

</FilesMatch>

<FilesMatch "\.(css.gz|css.gzip)$">

  ForceType text/css

</FilesMatch>

#RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.html

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/index\.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_cron/run\.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\html\.htm|\.xml|\.feed|robots\.txt|\.raw|/[^.]*)$  [NC]

RewriteRule (.*) index.php

at least, the default .htaccess file. 

Please paste it instead of current content and check if the error with 404 page not found still persists. 

Yeah that fixed it. Thank you. Its odd how things like that randomly change :)

Great! I'm going to mark this post as Solved. 

I need help , I also face same like this , already try but don't understand and not working out , please someone help me.

Have you tried placing that code inside the .htaccess file ?

Make sure you have .htaccess in the root of the software, if yes can you please paste it's content here. 

Make sure you have mod_rewrite module installed on your server. 

I have the same issue on a fresh 1.7 localhost installation. The .htaccess is the default one (as written above) and placed in the root folder. All static files access returns the 404.

Ex.: http://localhost/...ow.css?53eb39f1ed131 404 (Not Found)

Even the installation process suffers of the same static access problem, it was all without style.
Exasperated I gave 777 access rights to everything, but no way.

It's my first attempt to Oxwall, and I'm locked here. Any suggestion?

Thanks

See my reply above

If you intend of mod_rewrite, it is installed and loaded:

apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_MODULES
Loaded Modules:
...
rewrite_module (shared)
...

I'm running Lubuntu 14.04

 this line: define('OW_URL_HOME', 'http://localhost/index.php/');  it should be just http://localhost/

Quote from ross  this line: define('OW_URL_HOME', 'http://localhost/index.php/');  it should be just http://localhost/

That resolved the issue!
Pay attention, it was generated by the installation process, I didn't make any change.

Thank you very much,
Dan

what OS and server do you have? LAMP?WAMP?XAMPP? what version of stack?

Unfortunately this solved the static content load, but any other link on the page (previously worked) goes wrong:

Ex.: The requested URL /join was not found on this server.
