Login folder missing?
Closed this issue · 4 comments
I’m stuck shortly after the installation process. I can see the login page but cannot go any further. I get a ‘Not Found’ error: The requested URL /app/login/validate was not found on this server. I played with it for a while but I’m stuck and I’m thinking that maybe it’s simply that the ‘login’ folder is gone and the validate script has been moved somewhere else or been renamed in the latest distribution? Is it the case or am I missing something? Thanks!
PS: I’ve installed the database (through phpMyAdmin) and edited database.php and config.php to match my environment (local server on a OS X 10.10, Apache 2.4.9, php 4.3.12, mysql 5.6.23).
Looks like a problem with the url thats coded in to the login view. If you add in index.php?/ before the rest of the link this will work as a hack.
Looks like a problem with removing the index.php? that needs mod_rewrite enabled (it should be as its in the .htcaccess file) and works on my system. Not sure where the issue is at the moment
Tried a bunch of things but still stuck so it's probably because of my limited knowledge on server tricks. Thanks anyway!
The problem is a missing .htaccess in the app directory. In both the downloaded zip and the Git repo itself, the file doesn't exist. If you create a new file named '.htaccess' (no quotes) and place the contents below, it will function as expected:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /app/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
Thanks st0w for the fix. I've got it to work locally.
