Magento rewrite headaches

Just need a bit of advice. i have just finish building a site, i have turned on the Web Server Re开发者_JS百科writes in the backend to get rid of the index.php

But when i go to the frontend it keeps giving me 404 errors

I cant seem to figure it out ... Is there anything else i need to do?

Cheers

Enable mod rewrite logging , regenerate your indexes

You might have forgotten to copy the .htaccess file which is hidden on some operating systems to your magento Folder. This can easily happen on Windows or Mac OS X since they don't select hidden files when you mark all and copy from inside a directory. But they will copy hidden files when you copy whole directories, which may well explain why the issue doesn't creep up in the admin side of things.
