404 Error Main Page Link and All Avatars | Forum

Hello there.

New to the Oxwall community.

I've been asked to work on some plug-ins.

I've set up a development test site on my goddady host. (I know this is not optimal but it is mostly working)

I should also mention that it is located in a Sub Folder "/Oxwall" and not in the root of my host.

As the title states the only problems I am having are :

1) The link to the Main page is not working from the menu ie http://<domain>/Oxwall/index and is giving me an error directly from my server ie my own error page for my server.

All the other links work as expected.

2) None of the uploaded Avatars or uploaded images are appearing.

When I right click on them to get the url path it appears correct to me and the images are uploaded correctly but I am receiving an "Internal Server Error"

I have checked all file and folder permissions.

Does anyone have any suggestions on why these two things aren't working?

Thanks

I had a problem with a 500 internal server error, my host fixed it but apparently it was due to .htaccess file problem in the root directory.

Direct link? I will take a look give you some feedback from another perspective.

Also on fresh install of test site in a subdirectory i cannot replicate.

Hey thanks for the fast reply!

Here is a link to the test site.

I did mess around with the .htaccess as I followed this forum link http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/849

But it didn't seem to help so I've returned everything to it's original state for the time being.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Hi Cortez,
have you change anything on the RewriteRules inside the .htaccess - Folder /Oxwall ?

Cortez Oct 14 '11

@ Facetester

No I haven't made any changes here. Is it necessary to correct the path to the /Oxwall folder in .htaccess?

post ur htaccess, this how mine looks in my test sub directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .*/http-bind

RewriteRule (.*) /http-bind [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/index.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.feed|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]

RewriteRule (.*) index.php

But make sure your root directory htaccess is not causing a problem. Both my htaccess look the same.

no... in the /Oxwall Folder must be the .htaccess for the RewriteRule of oxwall-software.

It looks like that you have the .htacces from oxwallsoftware in the Domain root-folder and not in the Subfolder /Oxwall... is that right ?

Cortez Oct 14 '11

No it's in the Subfolder /Oxwall

there is no .htaccess folder in my root at all.

I did just try a quick test adding in

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Oxwall

but that just messed things up more so I erased it.

Does your host allow htaccess? Does your htaccess in ur sub look like:

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .*/http-bind

RewriteRule (.*) /http-bind [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/index.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.feed|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]

RewriteRule (.*) index.php

hmm I know for sure I can use it to password protect directories. Do you know a test to check it directly for Oxwall specifications?

Just ask your host, who provides it if it is a reputable company they will have live chat and see if apache mod rewrite is enabled also. Plus does your htaccess look like the one above?

#11

Cortez Oct 14 '11

Yes my file looks exactly like the one above.

I suppose I'll have to contact godaddy.

Was hoping to avoid all of that as it's merely for testing purposes.

Thanks for the help.

I will post my findings after dealing with them.

As far as i am aware godaddy allows htaccess. Was this a fresh install from a download or did you use the installers built into control panel and also what version are you running you can see this from the admin dashboard on the right. 1.2.4 is the latest.

#13

Cortez Oct 14 '11

Yes this was a fresh install from a download.

I uploaded the zip folder and then unzipped on my server.

I am using Platform version 1.2.4(build 4230)

The only thing I noticed when following the installation guide was that godaddy doesn't allow the cron calls as frequently as recommended although that shouldn't matter as it's merely for testing.

Cortez Oct 14 '11

Perhaps I should just try a fresh install.

Did you turn it off and on again? lol

#15

Keelan Oct 14 '11

Turn what off and on?

Yes hostgator is the same they only allow 15 minute minimum for cron jobs. But no big deals as i'm just playing with it too.

If it is just a test sure try reinstalling it you have nothing to lose.

#16

Cortez Oct 14 '11

Sorry bad joke from the "It Crowd" turn it off and on again is the solution for every computer problem.

So I did a sample redirect to google in the htaccess and nothing is happening. No errors or anything so I'm assuming that it's not enabled.

I did go into ow_userfiles and just deleted the htaccess and voila my images are now appearing.

Guess I'll check in with godaddy.

Ha nice, "This Jen, is the .. Internet".

Ye best to contact them. Sounds like its a host issue.

#18

Cortez Oct 14 '11

So godaddy says everything is in order so must be an internal problem.

Guess I'll need to re-install and keep my fingers crossed. Zoot alore!
