New pages not found

[shumphreys]

- .htaccess is below, which is the temp.htaccess supplied by latest GS version (3.0?) and the RewriteBase command changed as the test site is in /var/www/29/ (thus /29/) on my test server.

I also have one installed GS in a subfolder and have no ending slash in .htaccess, therefore would try /29 in your case. As to the settings page in admin panel, you should have clear field of custom permalinks and tick mark in fancyURLs - then default slug is set to %parent%/%slug%/

is var/www/index.php?id=pagename displaying properly?
is var/www/pagename displaying 'page not exists' or 50x server error?

Thanks. I had already tried removing the trailing backslash, makes no difference unfortunately.
I have a clear field in the permalinks box in settings.

The message the browser returns is:

"Not Found

The requested URL /29/photos/ was not found on this server."

And yes, the index.php?id=photos works fine .... perhaps I should be satisfied ....?
