I have been trying to install a fresh copy of 1.5.4 to my server/ host to start working on an upgrade. I am currently running 1.5.0 on my live site and I also have another 1.5.0 installation in another folder on the same server as a test site. Both the live site and the 1.5.0 test site work fine. I have tried several times to install 1.5.4 into a new folder. I uploaded all of the files to my new test folder, followed all the directions, set the permissions, renamed configure files, etc. To start the installation, when I type in the url to the new folder, I just get a 404 error. Only if I type in the full url with: storefolder/zc_install/index.php does it open the installer. I then go through the installation process with no problems, all green checks. After installation is complete, I deleted the zc_install folder and changed the admin name. Everything seems to work except for the fact that in order to access either the store or the admin in the browser, I have to include index.php at the end of the url. Otherwise I just get "page not found". I have searched the forum and cannot find an answer. I even upgraded my php on the server to 5.6.14 even though it was already 5.4.45.
There are no error logs, just the install log. I can post it if it would be helpful. My host Hostgator is running Apache 2.2.31. MySQL 5.5.42.37.1 and php is now 5.6.14
So the store and the admin are there, I just can't access them from the browser with the normal ...mysite.com/storefolder without adding index.php
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me nuts. Thanks
