can't figure out why my navigation links aren't working

    I know this is going to seem so simple once figured out but I can't figure it out right now.

    at this site; http://www.sachistudio.com/testing/coachmike/

    when you click on the navigation links, they take you to a dead page with an error message;

    Oops! File Not Found!

    Sorry, but you are looking for a page that isn't here. Try searching for the information you are looking for at the top of the page.


    and yet, I know my files are there and named appropriately.

    any thoughts?

    Hmmm, I've spent a couple minutes looking through the site and kind find the reason why that might be happening.

    What the full URL of the gallery page? Where is it located in the webroot?

    Actually, there isn't a page up for the Gallery section yet. Is that's what affecting the other sections?

    No, I was just looking for an example. What's the URL of one of the existing pages?

    Well, the FAQs page is named, faqs.html so it should be in the same directory; www.sachistudio.com/testing/coachmike/faqs

    but it's not there. i know i am missing something so obvious that it escapes me right now.

    Are you using .htaccess for modifying the url ?

    if u're asking me if I have a .htaccess file in that folder, then I no, I don't.

    but if you're asking if I have a .htaccess file that is in main root of the site, then yes I do.

    are we on the same page?

    i'm not completely familiar with .htaccess and what it does or doesn't do.

    You forgot the extension :) You'll need to replace this code:
    <a href="/faqs/" title="">FAQs</a>
    Code (markup):
    With this code:
    <a href="/faqs[B].html[/B]" title="">FAQs</a>
    Code (markup):
    And do the same to the other links.
