The requested URL /perch/core/runway/start.php was not found on this server.

I've just installed an evaluation version of Perch, the CMS admin area seems to run fine but when I access the root URL of the site I get this error:

The requested URL /perch/core/runway/start.php was not found on this server.

Indeed the dir and file "runway/start.php" doesn't exist.

I've tried reinstalling with permissions for the entire dir set to 0777 but am still seeing the same problem. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

I've just double checked with a fresh download and the perch/core/runway/start.php file is definitely there.

How are you deploying the site?

Same issue here, no such folder in fresh download...

figured out how to fix this :

remove the following line of the .htacess file if not using Runaway

RewriteRule .* /perch/core/runway/start.php [L]

How fresh? Are you on 3.0.1?

3.0.1.

It sounds like when users download Perch version it's configured for Runaway, so deleting the line above in .htaccess did the trick for me.
