I finally got some of the cow working. BUT, from the index page all headlines return to an error (The requested URL /news/117/ARTICLE/1100/2009-04-05.html was not found on this server.)
When in article management the editor shows all of the article and photos. When the examine icon clicked the article shows in a popup window as entered. So it appears I have all the settings correct but it does not show from the public page. I am using index1.php as the public access until the site is ready for public viewing.

I am grateful for this forum, the cow's support is vague, confusing, slow.
Two reasons:
(1) SEF settings not proper
(2) mod_security issue perhaps.

Thanks for the clues. I've reset my SEF settings, so I believe they are correct. The chmod security issue sounds like a promising lead. Most everything is set for 644 or 755. I wouldn't know which should be 755 when it is set to 644. My phpcow installation was done by them, but getting an answer from them is beyond difficult.

I finally got a reply from phpcow support. They found that the installation (that they did) had neglected to put the . before the htaccess file. When added back to read .htaccess everything works correctly. Support took a month to answer with a real answer. Usually they responded to a support ticket about 8 days later. With that kind of delay, solving a minor but disabling problem takes too long.
