Admin page unavailable

I just installed Omeka on a dev2, not a url like .net or .org
I cannot access the admin page by simply adding /admin/ after omeka in the url. The current url for the index is dev.msu.edu/~katy.meyers/omeka. How do I access my admin?

Sounds like a rewrite problem.

Step 1: Make sure you have files named .htaccess in both the root Omeka directory and the "admin" directory.

Step 2: In the "root" htaccess, add the following line:

RewriteBase /~katy.meyers/omeka/

And in the "admin" htaccess, add the following line:

RewriteBase /~katy.meyers/omeka/admin/

I made those changes and still cannot get access to the admin. it still says that the object is not found.

it still says that the object is not found.

I don't believe you mentioned that there was an error message before. Could you post the message?

The URL you posted doesn't appear to be publicly accessible, so there's no way for anyone here to investigate this.
