Symphony.

After installation, it prompts me to log in. After doing so, it takes me to a directory that does not exist; /symphony/publish/articles/.

When I back up to the home page, it shows that I am logged on, but when I click "Admin" it takes me back to /symphony/publish/articles/.

Is there some files missing from the symphony folder? What am I doing wrong here?

• Does the folder /symphony/ exist?
• Does this folder have a .htacces inside?
• Do you have mod_rewrite enable in you apache installation?

Yes, there is a /symphony/ folder, but the is no folders /publish/ or /articles/ inside.

Yes, there is a .htaccess file.

I think so.

Question 1 and 3 are connected:
publish and articles are virtual folders that are redirected to the correct system files using Apache's mod_rewrite. So you should check question 3 again.

Are you able to access pages on the frontend, e. g. the archive or any article other than the one shown on the frontpage?

Another way to determine if it;'s an .htaccess problem — can you view this URL?

/symphony/index.php?page=publish/articles

When you try to view /symphony/publish/articles/ the .htaccess rule is actually rewriting this URL onto the index.php as above. If the index.php method works, then it is the .htaccess rules not being applied on your server.
