ok so i think i might be able to fix it but im not sure. when my site went to hell i had changed the setting on the "pretty URL" thing. now im not sure if its possible but i think that if i put the required code in the server's configuration file or .htaccess file it might fix it. however im not exactly sure where to find this file. ive looked and there is no .htaccess file.
please help

did it work before?
did something change?
is there a link to a php_info call on your sever somewhere you can share?

maybe your provider has a problem with php5?
i got this message because of that and had to add .php5 to the file endings...
But there's another way to get this working.

you have to add an extension to your .htaccess file in the root directory of your server, which depends on the configuration of your provider.

i think you should ask your support for the right lines to add.

Best Regards

so i found my .htaccess file and copied the required code into it. as far as i know this is what the code is right?
"<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>"

i just put it at the bottom of the text. is that alright?

it all worked just fine until i touched the pretty url option in the sitewide setting of the dashboard. i would have no problem changing it back if only i could login.

otherwise just re-upload, IE repave and reinstall it.

I don't run pretty URLs yet either and I am somewhat familiar with the cms at this point :)

Or if you can get to your db through phpmyadmin or whatever db administration software navigate to your db, go to the config table, there is a field there that for me is null called URL_REWRITING. I think if this is a 1 or something like that then it is tryign to do the pretty url stuff.

edit: so set that field to null, I don't see andrew or the c5 team repeating themselves anywhere so that row/field must be set to something other than null.

thanks for your help but i just ended up reinstalling. it was quite easy just to copy all the information over and in hindsight i think i should have done this from the beginning and saved myself a lot of headache.
