Friendly URLs not working on new install

I'm working with a new installation and all appears to be working correctly so far, except the URL re-writer is not resolving friendly URLs.

New pages, including the home page do not resolve using their friendly URLs. I get a 404. But, if I enter the full URL with the pageID, they pull up fine. I've checked the URL Manager under Admin Tools and they are listed there.

Do I need to enable friendly URLs somewhere?  I installed using the MS tool and had no problems there.  I do use URLScan but tried removing it in the ISAPI filters temporarily and the problem still occurred.  Any suggestions or insights on what to look for would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Friendly URLs not working on new install

If you moved your site and database from your local machine to a server, it would be very easy to get a lot of 404 errors if the url structure was not the same on the local machine as on the server. You gave no example of the urls that produce a 404.

Other than that it should work. It works for me and no-one else is reporting any problem with it.

You did not mention what version of mojoPortal, OS/hosting environment.

Hope it helps,

Joe
