Avatar Module

After I install the avatar module, I get this when I try to access the administration:

The requested URL /m/avatar/administration/ was not found on this server.

What am I doing wrong?

What about other modules?

That error would be typical if the .htaccess file was not uploaded or mod_rewrite not working. But your only mentioning one module so you need to check the others and see if they do it to, and try to view profiles.

It's it's just that one module i would have to say the install was not complete. Uninstall and tray installing it again.

Well in the administration page, it seems as if the drop down on the right side none of those links work of installed modules. I get this related error for most module:

The requested URL /m/facebook_connect/administration/ was not found on this server.

But, when I click installed modules in the middle pane they bring me to the admin pages just fine.

This is all rooting from me being unable to change my avatar for my admin account on my actual domain. When I click Avatar under my Account page, I get this error:

The requested URL /m/avatar/ was not found on this server.

Honestly, I am only starting with my configuration after install. Why would these modules not work after I installed them in the administration page?

  Recap:

During my setup, I did not install the .htaccess file. I will look in the installation guide for that step.

Several possible reasons.

1) You may have not uploaded the root .htaccess file from the dolphin zip file. Double check to make sure it got uploaded.

2) The server your hosting it on does not have mod_rewrite enabled. Go into dolphin admin to the tools and then the host_tools section in the audit section and make sure all the software requirements are met.

3) The webserver is not configured to allow .htaccess overrides for the folder you installed dolphin in.

Dolphin has very specific server requirements that must be met for it to run properly. My guess is the problem is a missing .htaccess file. That is a hidden file type so is quite often missed. Make sure your computer is configured to show hidden files so you don't miss it.

It's part of the file upload step. the .htaccess is one of the files in the dolphin zip file. It should have been uploaded when you uploaded the rest of the files. It's not a separate step.

I did find the .htaccess file where I unzipped all of the files. For some reason it was blank. I reuploaded the original .htaccess file from the downloaded .zip

 
And??

Are things working now?

 Great! This did fix my issue! I sure am curious as to why the .htaccess file was blank...either way all is good now will all modules and functions.

Thank you all for the speedy assistance

I am curious about something else; check in the /cache and see if the .htaccess file is there and is not blank.  Dolphin includes .htaccess files in some of the directories to prevent those directories from being listed and accessed from the web.  It could be that your ftp programme was at fault.  I have seen Filezilla cause problems with uploads.

I checked the contents of the /cache .htaccess file it only had 

Deny from all

in the file. Is that correct?

I did use FileZilla to upload the original Dolphin folder to my host.

For  /cache/.htaccess it's correct.

I would never touch FileZilla, you may try TotalCommander instead.

I would have to ask what .htaccess file are you looking at? For some of them that would be correct. But not for the one in the dolphin root folder.
