If I click on the "Configuration" link I also get a 404 page not found error.
However clicking on any of the other links (ie. Registered Users, Banished Users etc etc) gives the expected screens and is connecting to the database with no problem.
What is causing the two 404 errrors?
(I cannot find any permissions incorrectly set. )
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
That mainly means the file admin/admin5.php is not found. Please check on your ftp and see if it's there. Or reupload it (sometimes, poor ftp managers break some files while uploading - overwrite it)
If this doesn't fix it, I will need a link to check myself. If you wish to keep it private, send me an email with the link and admin data. Or I will register and you make me admin. However, I've never encountered that.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The 404 page missing errors were caused by failing to enter username and password on the initial phpMyChat page and instead just clicking on the "Administration" link, which opens a second page, which asks for username and password and ONLY entering uaername and password at that stage.
In other words. Username and password must be entered on the initial admin panel page (which includes the options to choose rooms and enter chat) and then again after choosing "Administation" when that function asks for them again.
I did not try testing what happens if you use different usernames and passwords !!!
A separate error, the phpMyChat page having a white background and rudimentary formatting, is caused by not having your /plus/config directory permissions set to 755.
Thanks to Ciprian for his help.

My admin panel displays the two lines in the top section:
Administration for phpMyChat - Plus Registered users Banished users Clean rooms Send mails
Configuration Logout Chat extras Connections Log archive Search
Below that it gives a 404 page not found error.

... and ...
Let me know how it goes.
Ciprian M.
Yes, I had traced it to phpadmin5.php and it looked fine to me.
I will try re-uploading and let you know. Thanks.
There was some problem with the file admin5.php; it would only re-upload 36% of it. I tried two different upload methods.
However, I downloaded the zip again, got a fresh copy, deleted the version on the server, re-uploaded the new version, reset permissions.
But I still get the same two errors.
I'll email you.
Thanks
The problem has now been sorted.
