I looked under the Dreamhost control panel Knowledge Base (just one of the great attributes of dreamhost) for PHP5 and it pointed me to the "Domain > Manage Domain" area.
I reposted full instructions here:
This Sucks!!!
So many people having the same problem.....
I have tried all kinds of turned off rewrite engines and all suggested rewrite base paths and no luck!!
Still the same error:
"Not Found
The requested URL /cgi-php/zen/setup.php was not found on this server.
Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.boardshort.com Port 80"
I don't know where to start. I'm having similar problems but I don't see a .htaccess files anywhere. I have turned on invisable files and see other .whatever files but no .htaccess. Do I need this? Shoudl I create one from scratch? I don't even know where to put it... in the root of my entire site, of my host (I have 3 domains on there) or on the root of the zenphoto folder?
I am also on Dreamhost and would prefer not to use PHP5 so I can use their poll installation (which doesn't work in PHP5). However, I would like clean, search-friendly titles.
