Do links to subpages work correctly? Pls. check if - you the Kirby .htaccess file is present in the kirby folder - mod\_rewrite is enabled If yes, try to set the RewriteBase in your .htaccess by uncommenting it ```auto RewriteBase / ``` ---

Hi texnixe, Thanks for your reply. .htaccess is there. How do I modify it? ---

The .htaccess file is just a text file. You can open it with any text editor. ---

Also try putting some nonsense characters somewhere in the `.htaccess` file. This should trigger an “Internal Server Error”. If it doesn’t, you need to enable `AllowOverride all` in your Apache configuration. ---

I also had the problem too, everything had to do what I was all Delete and re-insert again Try it this way: Delete your Kirby folder and paste it again, or Restart Apache if you use Xampp ---
