Description
I'm upgrading to 1.8 from 1.7
I enter the url .../upgrade.php & all works
HOWEVER, index.php is called... in this code forward('activity') is called
I get a 404 error because 'activity' does not exist.
There's no directory/subdirectory for 'activity'.
If I remark out the forward('activity') command my site comes up (but not in a clean manner).
What am I doing wrong... how can I get past or correct?
Thanks!
Steve

I have copied over htaccess_dist over to .htaccess & made rewrite rule updates according to my configuration. It appears I'm having an issue with /pg/... where is this set?
I can enter url with wwwroot/FA/pg/activity and will get a reply (non-formatted, but works)... system is trying wwwroot/FA/activity and THIS DOES NOT work

This is not a bug with Elgg as far as I can tell, but a problem with your install. As this is a bug tracker, this is not the correct place to get help with this. Please seek assistance at the Elgg community site at http://community.elgg.org/. If it is later determined to be a bug, come back and reopen. Thanks.

The upgrade instructions say to update your .htaccess file with the new rewrite rules. If you never changed your .htaccess, you can just copy htaccess_dist over it.
