Fresh install: Dashboard 404

juxtonjuxton
edited July 2011 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8
I've tried a fresh install of 2.0.17.10 about a half dozen times, and each time it installs successfully ... I can log in / out, start new discussions etc, but trying to access the dashboard always results in a 404 not found ... a 404 when trying to hit both the pretty and ugly URL variations for the dashboard. I've verified file permissions as outlined in the readme.html, and have verified that RewriteUrls is TRUE.

I've searched high and low in this community for a similar problem but haven't found one w/ a solution.

My environment:

Apache: 2.2.19
PHP: 5.2.17
MySQL: 5.0.91-community

PDO_MYSQL is enabled

Please help! From what I've read, the install really shouldn't be this hard ...

    Anyone? Has no one else had this problem?

    Are you seeing a server-generated 404 or a Vanilla-generated 'Bonk' page?

    Vanilla 404, not a Bonk

    It shouldn't be that hard. Is this on some strange host?

    I agree, it really shouldn't be that hard. I thought at first it was an issue installing on an add-on domain on my virtual host web server ... but attempting to install in the root domain produced the same problems.

    I do web dev for a living, and tried many things to try and remedy the problem ... no luck. Very disappointing, as I'd really like to have one of these forums up and running.
