I just started using DreamHost PS Web Server. I used the One-Click Installs to install Joomla 1.5.20. I also used Htaccess/WebDAV to password protect the administrator directory, WedDAV was not enabled. When I visit my site I get a Joomla 404 Error. http://www.picmem.com/administrator I used the Chat Live to contact a support rep who told me he could not assist me and direct me to this page. http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=…36&start=0 FYI - the page above is dated Mon Oct 27, 2008 1:05 am. I’ve done this many times before on other webhosts. Anyone have a solution? Workaround?
