@mercime thanks for the help. Have looked at the link you have given but do not understand enough to know where that file is in my system. A noob to this.
Am learning as I go along.
By ‘without the index file appended’ do you mean like
‘http://localhost:7204/2013/06/sample-post/’ (without index.php in the text). If so i have tried that and still get 404 message when trying to anything like activity, profile, etc. Can go to admin page, but thats about it.
Thanks for any help you can give. In the meanwhile i am going to uninstall and start again from scratch. Will try a different local server package.
