404 errors after installing modules

Hi, I have done a fresh install of dolphin 7 all pre-requisites have been satisfied

ReWriteBase /  has been added to the .htaccess file, all of the modules have been installed,

BUT when trying to access any of the modules I get a 404 error! I'm really confused!

Can anyone help? I would really like to use this on my site!

Comeon, I know SOMEONE has had this problem!

If you have had this problem and have found a fix PLEASE post it!!

does your htaccess look like this ?   if not it should.   if so your server dont have mod_rewrite.

No it doesn't look like that! so I copied your and reinstalled the modules

and it still not working!

What is your server configuation?

Who is your host?

Don't worry, I know at least 3 people who have installed Dolphin successfully. You could be #4!

:D

Thanks but why are you telling me about your chatroom?

Thought it would be easier the going through the forums!

lol...ok, sorry I didn't understand.

Seriously tho, if other in the forum can help you solve the problem it will help others who will read this.

Next guy will help hopefully. For now I have to go.

Take a look at http://jarich44.homeip.net/info.php

The problem good be with your host.

Like the other poster asked who is your host, are you on shared hosting if so then you have find out if modrewrite is on.

Try calling your host to make sure the server is set up as you need it if you are on shared server.

For me I had so many problems with my host I need up just disabling permalinks for now until I switch.

The following needs to be increased:

max_execution_time

max_input_time

While these are unrelated to your problem, they are far too low for the script to operate correctly.

I also notice your web server is running Suhosin, a security-enhanced PHP distribution. This also has nothing to do with it, but I feel you should be reminded not to set your permission for files and directories beyond 644 and 755, respectively.

I also recommend you remove the phpinfo file from your web server, as it may contain information that could be used for malicious purposes.

Concerning your issue with 404 errors on rewritten directories, this (as said) is due to your web server having mod_rewrite disabled. If you are on a shared web server, you will need to contact your web hosting provider and request they make the needed changes (including what I said above). There is nothing more that we can do concerning this matter, as it is between you and your web hosting provider.

If you look closer to the info.php file you may see that mod_rewrite Is in fact  enabled

and the server is running on my home machine

And to think I hired a creative writer for that post, too. Also, nice 404 error page. I think I will.

Sir, sarcasm is not going to help me fix this problem!

If you don't want to help just don't reply!

I am trying to help you, which is why I wrote my initial post. I find a little humor helps from time to time to ease oneself. Anyways, I had a similar issue before on an Ubuntu server, which was solved by setting AllowOveride to All in the default file under /etc/apache2/sites-available/. You will need to change the directory/file depending on your setup.

I'm sorry! just getting a little frustrated!

How would I change that?

Using any graphical or command line text editor.

The file is called default, but may be different depending on your configuration. You may want to try the dir command.

Found it! what do I add to it now?

Under the directory corresponding to your web site (for example, /var/www/), change AllowOveride from None to All.

thanks I'll try that

still not working

Boonex really needs to add a forum dealing with server setup and issues.  There's a bunch of topics like this one scattered all over the place, and it might be helpful to have all those threads in one place.

thanks I do another search and try again

In case you missed it, there are multiple entries with the directory which you may need to edit.

People tend to ignore forum purposes. For example, there are support requests on the Unity and BoonEx forums daily for Dolphin.

yeah I saw that chanched them both! still nothing :(

just wondering do I need to restart the server after i change to allow all??

Typically, yes, you do.

ok well I did that and still no change

Then we have two different problems, my friend. I'll keep looking, since I have nothing to do.

GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I installed into a subdirectory /dolphin  RewriteBase was set to /  I changed it to RewriteBase /dolphin  Now it works!!!

I hate it when something as simple as that is overlooked. At least I can take comfort in knowing AllowOveride did need to be changed, though (blind faith, blind faith).
