AdminCP - http://www.disabledusa.com/admincp/index.php - 404-file not found Version 5

[dasdter]

Had a successful install. Logged in as admin, and clicked on AdminCP and I get a 404 error - says it cant find:
http://www.disabledusa.com/admincp/index.php.

Checked the files I uploaded(which I downloaded from my VB account) - there is no index.PHP in that folder - thus no index.php on the forum I am trying to create. How does one get into AdminCP? Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Frank

And you need to delete install.php ASAP

Using the /core/ directory is not the proper method. You do need to delete that install.php file though.

If you're getting a 404 error at http://www.disabledusa.com/admincp/index.php then you probably have not uploaded the .htaccess file included with vBulletin 5. If you're using a Mac, you should make sure it shows hidden files in Finder so you can upload this.

Thanks for the tip on install folder - deleted it. I did upload .htaccess originally. And copied it back again. Still same results. Reupload and resintall?

[Wayne Luke]

What are the contents of your .htaccess file?

[dasdter]

The strange thing is that everytime I ftp it - and have tried several times now - and it looks like it uploaded it - when I go to check it is no longer there.

[Wayne Luke]

Tell your FTP client to show dot or hidden files. If you're using FileZilla you can select this on the Server Menu.

Thanks - here is the contents of .htaccess:

# Use PHP5.3 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]
#needed because admincp is an actual directory.
RewriteRule ^(admincp/)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Reloaded all files, ran makeconfig, ran install, deleted install php folder - all is well! Thanks
