Installing modules in V7 - getting 404 error

I've installed all modules in V7 through the Admin pannel and some of the link are pointing to a new {My_Site}/m/{module like articles} and I'm getting 404 page error. I can't see any new folder under the directory and not sure what the install did.

I saw some reference in the .htaccess "RewriteRule ^m/(.*)$  modules/index.php?r=$1 [QSA,L]" but it doesn't work for me if this is the porpose.

Any assistance will be appreciated

I'm working on getting a grasp of building modules for v 7.0 and I do know that the default modules i.e. boonex modules are stored in modules/boonex/[modulename] if you are installing a custom module it would be modules/[vendor]/[modulename] Also make sure you have read, write, execute permissions set on the modules folder not sure if that help's but something you can check out.

If you go to a profile like http://www.yoursite.com/admin do you get a 404 error viewing a profile also?

If so, your server is not processing the .htaccess file. Either mod_rewrite is not enabled in apache or apache is not setup to allow overrides via .htaccess in the apache server configuration.

When using the url http://register.highpace.com/administration/ I can get the login screen without any problem.

However when I'm installing the Articles module and try to go with the new url http://register.highpace.com/m/articles/index/ there is no "/m/articles" folder therefore the new url is not recognized unless there is any changes to the .htaccess that reflect this change. looking on the dolphin modules folder it's like {mySite}/modules/boonex/{List of modules}. I guess I'm missing some reference to the new module location. Apache doesn't know about this location.

deano92964, I've checked my site with www.register.highpace.com/admin and I'm getting an 404 error. How can I check the mod-rewrite? it's not inside the phpinfo details.

Thanks for your assistance so far

No there is no directory m/articles

The .htaccess rewrite rule RewriteRule ^m/(.*)$  modules/index.php?r=$1 [QSA,L] takes care of that. The URL your getting is correct for the articles module, and the htaccess rule is correct.

So did you read my last post? Is apache allowing overrides in the directory dolphin is installed in? Is mod_rewrite installed for apache?

Try adding this to your .htaccess file just under RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

If that does not work you need to check apache for proper processing because the path you see for the articles module is correct and the rewrite rule is correct, so apache must not be processing it.

You will have to get your host to look into it.

mod_rewrite should appear somewhere in the loaded modules section of phpinfo.

apache2handler

But. That is not the only thing that controls that. Apache in some cases needs to be told to allow the .htaccess file. A option called AllowOverrides in the servers httpd.conf file.

Your host has to check that.

Thanks! I'll check it with my hosting 1and1

I appreciate your time!

deano92964, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! the ReWriteBase / is the answer. I added it to the .htaccess and now all works

ReWriteBase / i worked for me TOO. Thanks alot!

.htaccess

Options -MultiViews -Indexes

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
    php_flag register_globals Off
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
    php_flag allow_url_include Off
    php_flag register_globals Off
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

ReWriteBase /     This must add

RewriteRule ^blogs/{0,1}$   modules/boonex/blogs/blogs.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^blogs/all/{0,1}$  modules/boonex/blogs/blogs.php?action=all  [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^blogs/all/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/{0,1}$  modules/boonex/blogs/blogs.php?page=$2&per_page=$1  [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^blog

Yes Rewrite Base Worked for me as well. I'm using 1and1 hosting.

Had the same issue on a clean install. "Rewrite Base /" was the fix. Thanks.
