Comments.Text: OK: There is no "Settings > Websites" in Craft 2, there it is called "Settings > Locales" (I think...). Please check if there is at least one locale, because URLs depend on the locale.

Comments.Text: I figured it out! I forgot to identify which entry template to use. Under "Entry Template" I needed to use a different form, instead of letting it auto fill from the name of the single. Thanks!
