404 Not Found when trying to access the admin panel after installation

leoleoleo

Hi folks,

Thanks for developing such a great product and willing to provide help! I am new to hosting a website so please bear with me…

I had successfully gone through the installation process but accessing the admin panel gives me a 404 error. I had enabled mod_rewrite by
$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
and I followed here to set up
AllowOverride All in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

In the .htaccess file of my tastyigniter root I also uncommented RewriteBase /. All my website files reside in /var/www/html so I guess I do not need to provide a subdirectory to RewriteBase.

I had also restarted the apache2 service. The only thing I think I might have missed is setting up the queue daemon as I am not entirely sure how to do that, but I think that has nothing to do with this 404.

Anything else needed from my end?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Does the pages on the main site work?

ryanmitchell thanks for the reply! Yes the main page did load. It shows a “getting started” as the title. If I click on a link to set theme, it would direct me to admin/theme which showed a 404 error.

It sounds to me like rewrites aren’t working at all. You should work with your hosting provider or someone with Apache experience to resolve.
