First of all, thanks for your help and patience. Im a Mautic rookie trying to do my best 🙂
I’ve just finished Mautic 3.0.2 instalation. Everything seemed to be going well till i got a 404 error with this URL: mydomain/mautic2/s/dashboard
Dont know what that “/s”" is doing there… Any ideas, please? I have searched all over the forum and dindt find any topic with a solution for a rookie like me 😅

In Mautic, the /s/xxx URLs like /s/dashboard require authentication. ‘s’ stands for ‘secure’. URLs that can be accessed without authentication (i.e. public) do not have this /s prefix.
As far as your installation problem is concerned, I think the problem is with your rewrite rules. Mautic comes with a [.htaccess](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/blob/51c488ea820a36d82b513ccc36becb6e7521327f/.htaccess) file for Apache that defines these rewrite rules… make sure Apache is configured to allow reading configuration from .htaccess ( `AllowOverride All` directive)
