Dolphin 7 : Htaccess and modules paths

Hi,

I have note seen any Htaccess in Dolphin 7 ? And all path to modules installed are wrong (ex: Orca : http://www.mysite.com/forum/ => Not Found).

Is there any Htaccess by default in Dolphin 7 ? And why paths are wrong for modules ?

Thanks for you help

Yes, all .htaccess files needed for dolphin comes in the download package. Make sure that you are overwriting your current ones withe ones provided with the dolphin download. If needed, re-download the package again and upload the htaccess files needed.

I believe you have this resolved per your post in the answers section, but for everyone else.

The .htaccess file when viewed on a Linux/Unix/Mac-OSX system the file will be hidden.

On Unix based operating systems, files that start with a .(period) are hidden files. Thus you need to set your computer to view hidden files so you can see it.

It is indeed in the dolphin zip file, so if you can't see it, enable viewing of hidden files.

A suggestion to boonex.

How about adding a quick check in the installer for dolphin to look for the presence of the root .htaccess file and if not found display a error and instructions about hidden files.

This missing .htaccess issue is very common and a way to help deal with it should at least be tried.

For complete installs, I don't know why anyone would want to do anything other than uploading the Dolphin zip file to the server, and decompressing it directly on the server.  So many problems would go away.  It's also considerably faster than uploading 5,000 files via FTP.

True, but you would be surprised how many people don't do it that way.

LOL!

Hmm, lets EXPAND all the files so they are LARGER, that way I'll have time to cook dinner during the upload process!

 (sorry, once again, my resistance is low)

can someone post a copy of the htaccess file for the module folder so i can use permalink, please

I also need the htaccess file please

The .htaccess file is in the dolphin zip file. So you already have it.

Thanks a lot dolphin_jay, ik works just fine now!

Hello Boonex Community,

I have been having the same issue with my platform. My host does not offer any one click install to Boonex but other platforms. I have manually installed the software and the site seems to be working except when I have downloaded all the other components nothing seemed to have worked.

I also tried downloading it again and overwrite the old one but still same issue, I also tried as stated above the .htaccess file or I'm putting it at the wrong place that as well have not worked. Please can someone help?

First, I wouldn't use a one-click installer - they can be unreliable. Second, what exactly is the problem - 404 errors in modules? You may need to add this line right after "RewriteEngine on":

RewriteBase /

If Dolphin is installed in a subdirectory (e.g., /dolphin), amend the path like so:

RewriteBase /dolphin/

If that doesn't work, contact your host and make sure mod_rewrite is enabled for Apache.

Hello, 

Many thanks Nathan for adding the .htaccess and I have encountered the issue as you mentioned to my question in adding the small drop of code after the mod_rewrite but the modules are still not displaying anything. The hosting company says that mod_rewrite is enable by default.

I did a little research on this error (Page Not Found - All Modules) and came across  this forum of Nathan's reply but none of what I did have worked http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/7-0-9-Profile-Directories-not-created-404-not-found-error.htm.

Hello Everyone, 

Here's a small story; I am using PFPWebHosting.com for their cheap & 99.9% service uptime and does not provide RMS to Boonex and infact does not offer any one click install to Boonex but Nathan has saved the day by providing me Ray Server at a very good price & have went out his way in setting up my server at PFPWebHosting.com! So, basically, I recommend www.zarconia.net (Nathan P) to anyone that needs help, RMS or hosting & PFPWebHosting.com . 

Thank you again Nathan, you're the best!!!!
