Bugs, Bugs, Bugs...

I installed the final version of Dolphin 7 now three times (clean installs, empty db, delete files, new uploads).

Most of the installation is simply not working (club.nadelspiel.com):

* Homepage => Profile => 404

* Every installed module => 404 (also in the administration if you choose the Module dropdown), those are the wrong paths linked e.g. http://club.nadelspiel.com/m/videos/albums/my/main

Any solution?

It looks good to me.  Did you fix it since you posted this?

The 404 errors are because your host is not processing the .htaccess file.

mod_rewrite is a server requirement for dolphin. Contact your host. It's a hosting issue.

It is also possible the .htaccess file did not get uploaded when you uploaded the files to the server. .htaccess is normally a hidden file on most operating system. If that is the case, make sure your computer is configured to show hidden files and make sure the .htaccess file was uploaded to the server.

Hi Deano,

I run 120+ websites and of course my host runs .htaccess files. And yes, I use mod_rewrite in most of my sites...

Any other idea?

Thank you for trying ;)

1. how are you uploading the dolphin files?

2. can you verify that the .htaccess file is actuall uploaded to the /dolphin directory?

3. are you able to verify that mod_rewrite is enabled

the above mentioned solutions for the 404 is directly related to the SEF urls which require mod_rewrite enabled on the server and beyond that the .htaccess file needs to be uploaded.

you may also want to just double check and make sure the .htacess is the right one. also if you can just unzip it on the server, it will unzip in it's own directory.

Thank you, mjname, the file is the right one.

Does it work if you disable your permalinks in Admin Panel>Settings>Permalinks ?

Chris

does your htaccess tell dolphin to use the subdomain? subs act funny with her sometimes

Hi Chris,

everything works when I disable all friendly permalink settings. So I guess, it IS indeed a problem with .htaccess and mod_rewrite...

Hi mrpowerless,

I will check that now, but as the installer found all the paths correctly I assumed, that those would be fine. Anyway I will check...

That would be my guess as well :)

Chris

Mr Powless.

I have a dolphin install in a sub domain and for my .htaccess files, there is no differences. Such as how to tell if one is using a sub-domain or not. Just an FYI.

Of course my /inc/header.inc.php does state the sub-domain :)

Chris

Sooo.... there is just no rewrite of urls. Hm... do I have to enable the mod_rewrite on a directory level??? Never had to do so...

EliZZZa,

The top of your .htaccess file should look something like this:

Options -MultiViews

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_flag register_globals Off
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_flag allow_url_include Off
php_flag register_globals Off
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

Chris

GOTCHA!

Added

RewriteBase /

on line 13 of .htaccess

(Whatever that does ;) but I found the same line in the WP .htaccess....

Thank you all for your hints (somehow I have the feeling this won't be our last contact here ;)

Glad to hear you got it working. Im sure it won't be the last time either :)

(1000th Post - Go Me)

Hello and good day. I am having the same problem with my Dolphin 7 fresh install on my own linux server. I had this problem with Dolphin 6 and it was related to .htaccess files not being there but on D7 they are there. I disabled all permalinks and most of the links worked so I figured it was still a .htaccess problem but when I made the rewrite modifications listed above, still nothing is showing up. My server is configured properly as I am already running D6 and links are working accordingly.

Could someone help me with this?

Thanks!

Update:

I have resolved the problem. For some reason the root folder for the D7 install did not have the correct .htaccess file. I copied it over and no more 404 errors :)
