404 error after clicking activation link

Hi,

I have read the similar threats in this forum but none of it solved my problem. When a new user registers on my website he is getting an email with the activation link. When he clicks this link he is directed to a 404-error page. Nevertheless the user is created and activated correctly and can log in.

I am getting the same error page when I enter www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_users&view=login as an URL directly. The URL of the 404-error page is www.mysite.com/index.php?error=404&itemId=99999 which is also strange as any other "real" 404 error is directed to another error page. The above only shows on the login-link.

Do you have any idea what I can do to solve this?

Thanks,
Uwe

Hello,

First of all please try to rename file error.php in the template to __error.php and then check what kind of message appears.
