   I've tried a couple of times now to get an installation of Omeka working.

   Environment: Omeka 0.9.0, ubuntu 2.6.22-14-server
   php5, mysql5 etc.

   Install process works as expected, MySQL database gets created. Everything looks oK. I can load the site homepage (e.g., /omeka/index.php) but all the links off that page are broken and putting /admin/ after the home page URL doesn't work. I get this sort of error message:

   The requested URL /omeka/admin/users/login was not found on this server.

   Apache/2.2.4 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3 Server at 129.174.54.208 Port 80

   If I click on Browse on the home page, I see my server's trying to resolve:

   http://129.174.54.208/omeka/items

   The .htaccess files are in the omeka top-level directory and in ./admin as indicated but clearly something's not right.

   Anyone have a suggestion on where I might look? I do know that my rewrite module is loaded in Apache2

   I also have installed it on an ubuntu dedicated server and got the same problem. I don't know much about htacess file but the problem should be there ...

   Ok, I've searched more and the problem (for me at least) was a problem with the configuration for the default site (/etc/apache2/sites-availables/default). In the virtualhost section, directory <Directory /home/syma/www/> I had to change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All"

   Now it works, hope it helps.

   Thanks for the fix, syma. Hope this helps, Wally. If not, just let us know. Our developer gang is at Code4Lib, but they should be able to help from the road.

   This fix solved the problem on Debian unstable (Lenny) as well.

   I'm getting this same problem.
   I'm using godaddy as the shared host provider.

   Cannot understand why with the new install 0.9.1.1 none of the modules work, and I cannot get to the admin portion of the install.

   http://www.historicalsocietyofsomersethills.org/omeka/admin

   When I type the admin portion, it sends me to:

   http://www.historicalsocietyofsomersethills.org/omeka/admin/users/login

   with a page not found....

   Any ideas?

   Hi, try everything on this page and then let me know if it's still not fixed. Thanks

    mod_rewrite is installed on the appache server and the htaccess files are in place.

    Any other ideas?

    Sorry, we just realized some of the material on the Troubleshooting page was mistakenly labeled. Did you also try this?

    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.
