No config and license file in /config folder

I've come across an issue when trying to create "clean urls" with my new install that's very strange. There is no config.php file in the config folder. Nor is there a license.php.

Do you have activeCollab installed? If you do, these files should exist (system is not able to work without them).

I do and it's working fine.

It's impossible for system to work fine without these files in /config folder. Please make sure that you are looking at the correct folder. If system is working, these files should be in place.

Whoops, they are there now but were not yesterday. I was switching hosts/dns etc. so perhaps that has something to do with it.

It's also possible that your FTP client cached content of the folder for that session if you visited it before the installation. This is a frequent "issue" with Transmit for example (actually, it's a nice feature that speeds up folder browsing, but you need to be aware that it does that to avoid confusion in some cases).

And guess what FTP app I'm using! Good to know, thank you.

Great choice, Transmit is awesome :)

Funny, my config.php file disappeared and my system still worked :(

Hello Erik,

Unless you are using a hacked system that changes the way configuration file is loaded, that's not possible. Force refresh /config folder content in your FTP client, or use a different client, to verify.
