Issue with creating links to items in Joomla 3.0

Question

I am trying to use Joomla 3.0 on a GoDaddy hosting server. After installation, the administrator panel works fine and I am able to add new articles, create new menus, etc.

The problem is that when I add a new link (eg via creating a new article and linking it to the menu item), then on clicking this new menu item, I get the following error:

 The requested page cannot be found. An error has occurred while processing your request. You may not be able to visit this page because of: an out-of-date bookmark/favourite a mistyped address a search engine that has an out-of-date listing for this site you have no access to this page Go to the Home Page Home Page If difficulties persist, please contact the System Administrator of this site and report the error below. 404 Category not found Back to Top 

This happens for all new links that I create. What is the problem?

Answer 1

Is "Use URL rewriting" enabled in Global Configuraton?

If so, try copying htaccess.txt to .htaccess in the root folder of your website.
