404 error

why is that when i click on a button to go to where ever the button says...example,

click on forum, takes me to a 404 not found, page .... and it does it with almost all the buttons (links) on dolphin 7.

Still trying to set it up right...i guess what i am trying to figure out is how and what do i do to make all my pages accessable instead of bein takin to this 404 error page. Cant use board, video chat, forums, my topics, nothing.

Can anyone help me out? Thanx

using dolphin 7

that's because you don't have your .htaccess file.  Check your dolphin zip package and upload it via FTP to the dolphin root.

I'm having the same issue - and I've uploaded the .htaccess file as directed and even added the line

RewriteBase /

as directed in another thread. Still stuck in the water.

bump?

I had this issue as well. Resolved it for all sections except Forum by disabling Permalinks (Setting --> Permalinks --> uncheck all the boxes).

However ... I still get a 404 error when clicking on the Forum tab. (And I don't see a place to disable permalinks for the Forum).

I'm pulling my hair out! Ideas, anyone?

Yup did that too... still nothing...

I get 404's in the following :

Forums = The requested URL /modules/boonex/forum/ was not found on this server.

Avatar = The requested URL /modules/index.php was not found on this server.

Blogs = The requested URL /modules/boonex/blogs/blogs.php was not found on this server.

Ads = The requested URL /modules/boonex/ads/classifieds.php was not found on this server.

Sounds = The requested URL /modules/index.php was not found on this server.

Mind you this is the 3rd time I've installed it clean - and the "missing" files ARE there, in thier respective folders.

Okay, I was screwing around with the .htaccess file and removed the Rewrite something or other and it worked...

Make sure you have the following

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine on

Worked for me! Hope it works for you too - make sure you have .htaccess in your root folder.

UPDATE : After the change above - everything is working now!! Woohoo

Same thing here. After unchecking all Permalinks, all work except Forum. Any help?

What I did (maybe it was coincidence...)

Cleaned out the cache folders, leaving the .htaccess file there, then uninstall, then reinstall the Forums...

Then compile the language. YMMV...

Hi everyone, I'm new to Boonex and their Dolphin product and was browsing around some of the forums and ran across this thread.    It seems a lot of you have had some real issue's with this.   One idea i might pose to the group would be to check on your actual apache's httpd.conf file for the "AllowOverride" and make sure that this is respectivly set to All.   It might look something like so:

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
#   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
#
# 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
#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Once again, I'm new to the product, but this did it immediately for me.  Then again, some of you may not have root access to this file, but you could work with your host to help you out on this one.  I'm here to tell you that nothing is wrong with the way Boonex has setup their product and their .HTACCESS.

Despite the fact I host and manage multiple servers and own my own business doing this for web hosting, my server farm's are all Windows 2008 Server based.   I wanted to use one of Boonex's partner hosting companies so I didn't have to deal with the setup all on my own on my servers, but what I found is that the majority of them were very rude to me, and made me feel stupid and ignorant like I didn't know anything at all.  So I just decided to spin it up on one of my server's with a T3 connection and it worked great with a few minor tweaks, so thank you, you hosting companies that didn't want my money just because I asked a few very simple questions, you saved me some money.

I'd love to become a host of the product because unlike those guys, you call me on my personal cell and you and I walk through it until we figure it out.

Ok, enough of my complaints.  To the developers of the product, kudo's, its been fun and I'm enjoying playing with your architecture.   Keep up the good work.

cryhal you are fantastic

it worked for me

That's all good on a windows server but running Linux you don't have access to the the httpd.conf file unless your on a dedicated server. Even the VPS doesn't grant that access. Any other idea's?

404 forums resolution, for some reason forums started to become 404 unable to find url, the resolution was simple, "uninstall the module and reinstall it" unfortunately you lose all sub forums and content but forums work again.
