How To: Troubleshooting Omeka

Experiencing 404 errors when trying to view sections of site or whitescreen issues

This is likely caused by a mod_rewrite problem on your server. There are two possibilities:

1. You forgot to copy the .htaccess file when FTPing your install. Double check that it transfered properly.
2. Your server may not have mod_rewrite installed. Create a PHP file with the following code: <?php phpinfo(); ?> and double check that it's currently enabled. If not, contact your system administrator. mod_rewrite is currently a requirement for Omeka.

If installing mod_rewrite does not solve the problem, check that your Apache configuration allows .htaccess overrides. You will need the AllowOverides All directive in the appropriate place in httpd.conf.
