Post-Install Error: He's dead, Jim! The requested page '/username/traq/register' couldn't be found.

[jeronimo]

After clean install of 3.4.2, I get the "He's dead, Jim!" error.
 
 
Can't figure this one out.
mod-rewrite is enabled, htaccess.txt is now .htaccess
when I click on 'login' or 'register' I get 'He's dead, Jim' error.
 
I get 'He's dead, Jim' error also when I try to login at '/username/traq/admin'
error: "He's dead, Jim The requested page '/username/traq/login' couldn't be found."
 
I expect this is a mod-rewrite issue. But, I can't be sure.
I've been tweaking the .htaccess
 
any advice?

What software, including the version, is the server running?

[jeronimo]

Hi Jack,
Thanks for the reply. 
 
Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat)
PHP 5.3.
MySQL 5.0.95

[jeronimo]

all running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)

Would you mind running this in the same directory as Traq's "index.php" with the original ".htaccess" and either posting or private messaging me the output?

Code: Select all

<pre>
<?php
foreach ($_SERVER as $key => $value) {
    if (!preg_match("/^(HTTP_|SERVER_|REQUEST_TIME|REMOTE_PORT|REMOTE_ADDR|PATH)/", $key))    {
        echo "{$key} => {$value}" . PHP_EOL;
    }
}

What this code will do is output some information about the request such as the request path, script path, query string and a few other things.

[jeronimo]

Code: Select all

Here's the output

DOCUMENT_ROOT => /var/www/html
SCRIPT_FILENAME => /var/www/html/username/traq/test_traq.php
GATEWAY_INTERFACE => CGI/1.1
REQUEST_METHOD => GET
QUERY_STRING => 
REQUEST_URI => /username/traq/test_traq.php
SCRIPT_NAME => /username/traq/test_traq.php
PHP_SELF => /username/traq/test_traq.php

Looks good. Does Apache's "httpd.conf" have "AllowOverride" set to "All" or "None" for the document root?

[jeronimo]

It appears to be set to "All"
 
DOCUMENT_ROOT => /var/www/html
Here's a snippet from httpd.conf

Code: Select all

<Directory "/var/www/html">

                     .   .   .
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
#   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
    AllowOverride All

                     .   .   .

</Directory>

What variants of the ".htaccess" file have you tried so far?

[jeronimo]

I don't recall what I tried.  I'm not really familiar with apache mod_rewrite scripts.  I'm reading up about it, using this as a possible learning experience, a trial and error approach.  I've also been manually changing the paths in bootstrap.php
 
again, just a trial and error... I could be bark up the wrong tree here.

Code: Select all

// Define the paths needed

define("SYSPATH", dirname(__FILE__) . '/avalon');

define("APPPATH", dirname(__FILE__) . '/traq');

define("DOCROOT", dirname(dirname(__FILE__)));

I've double checked to see that mod_rewrite is actually working correctly on the server.  A simple example worked as expected.  So, it's functioning...
At this point all I can think of is a clean install of Traq.  In the next few days I'll be installing a PHP framework "CakePHP".  Cake also uses mod_rewrite for 'routes' etc.  I'll see how that goes. 
 
Thanks again Jack, for the assistance.
