Requested url not found on this server

I have a local test webserver using ubuntu 9.10.
the script is at /var/www/vshare
cgi-bin is at /var/www/cgi-bin

The script installed without problems.
I uploaded an .avi and a .wmv file.
After a few minutes processing, the original videos are found in /var/www/video. The converted flv videos are found in /var/www/vshare/flvideo/4ac4238a0b
After the upload, both videos appeared on the main page.

When I click to view them, I get this result:
The requested URL /vshare/view/1/test/ was not found on this server.

I check to see if those folders /view/1/test/ exist on the server and they do not.
I created a "view" folder. Chmod to 777
Tried again and failed again.

What is the solution?



After I fix this, I will be back for the upload progress bar and the inevitable issues with the cgi-bin folders, permissions and files. :p

You need to enable mod_rewrite in apache, also make sure .htaccess file provided with vshare is uploaded to your web site.

Thanks. That led me in the proper direction. The final answer turned up on the ubuntu forums.

This fixed it: changing the AllowOverride to all in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default

<Directory /var/www/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
