Hello,

I installed dolphin 7 the other day. Everything seems to have installed correctly. But when i try to view a member profile, i recieve an 404 error message When i try to view the profile by this is what it takes me to, http://mysite.com/dev2008/memberprofile. It gives me this error message,

Not Found

The requested URL /dev2008/memberprofile. was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Second:

When i try to go to the photo, files, videos, sounds section i get the following message

Not Found

The requested URL /dev2008/m/photos/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I checked my server for an "M" directory but it does not exisit..

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you

It appears to be a shorthand type of directory.  It is a mystery to me as well, working on a fellow member's D7 install and getting the same error.  Funny thing though - on my test install on a different server not an issue.  Possibly due to rewrites or other?

Boonex, can you help with this?

Upload the .htaccess file to the root directory.

Not sure if this will help or not but I was having the same sort of problem with dolphin 6.1.6.

am on a dedicated server and thought everything was set up properly, but my .htaccess wasn't being read turned out after everything I tried - I needed to change the "followsymlinks" to "all"

again, not sure if that will help or not cause I am no expert on the dolphin software...

.htaccess has been uploaded, did hard refresh in all browsers, cleared caches etc...still getting the 404 error.  Trick is, some links work with the /m/ alias but not all.

Reupload what .htaccess file? there is a .htaccess file outside of my dolphin directory. The file needs to be reuploaded to the dolphin directory?

Thanks for your response..

installed D7 to a subdirectory : www.mydomain.com/community/

404 errors in several modules.(at admin and in front pages)

again,

installed D7 to a domain's root folder : www.mydomain.com/

all works fine.

not sure what caused some of the modules(pages) didn't work with /m/  folder.

if someone knows, please share.

thanks.

I found you have to copy the .htaccess file to all directorys on one of the servers i am using.

lightwolf,

did you see an "m" directory (folder) under your dolphin install? you also said copy the .htaccess to all directories in dolphin also?

thank

Your host/server needs mod_rewrite enabled. The .htaccess needs to be uploaded properly to your root folder of dolphin install which has the mod rewrite commands for apache. If your site is mysite.com then mysite.com/.htaccess if mysite.com/dolphin then mysite.com/dolphin/.htaccess

If you install in a subfolder and still have problems like mysite.com/dolphin consider adding rewrite base to .htaccess just in case and for a quick few second test.

Either way you will need to have mod_rewrite enabled at the host level.

Simply ask your host for starters if mod_rewrite is enabled or check phpinfo.php at yoursite.com/admin/phpinfo.php to confirm.

Gameutopia,

Can you please be nice enough to provide a sample of what the mod_rewrite piece should look like in the .htaccess file please?

thank

If you mean a folder just named M.. No I have no folder like that.

I also had to upload a .htaccess in my install folder as well and all worke fine after.

I have done everything stated in this thread and still getting the 404. mod_rewrite is enabled, .htaccess is in the root directory, etc, etc and still no love. not sure what to make of this. The code works on this system

FC11

apache 2.2.11

php 5.2.9

Not working on:

FC7

apache 2.2.8

php 5.2.6

any ideas boonex dudes?

@ codejunky: is FC11 and FC7 your server names?
If you have both these servers hosted at the same company than it sounds like there may be a configuration in FC7 that's not configuring properly.
If you are on a VPS apply the proper requirements to your server and if settings are not taking effect try to reboot your server.

Check with your host and see if you have rights to modify the php.ini file and set appropriate configurations otherwise contact your host with the requirements.

If FC7 & FC11 are your servers on the same host company it realy sounds like a configuration issue.

Not sure if any of this will be of use or not but at my level that's the only thing i can think of.

I would realy contact your host and have them double check your config.

Try to add the following line in your .htaccess file which is located in Dolphin root directory:

RewriteBase   /community

just after the following line:

RewriteEngine on

wolf:

one is in my office here at the house and the other is at my hosting comapny. FC11 stands for Fedora Core 11 and FC7 stands for Fedora Core 7.

Anywho, someone pointed me in the right direction last night in this thread.

What he proposed was right on the money, what baffles me is why Dolphin 6 was running fine on that server using mod_rewrite. Of course maybe it wasn't actually using mod_rewrite since there are numerous other ways to accomplish the same thing.
