Posted: Sun Jul 16, 2006 3:11 am Post subject: Mixed Mod rewrite not working - 404 errors --> trouble |
|
|
OK - I have done my share of mod installs over the years and am stumped as to why this one is not working.
Here's how it looks: If you hover on a topic title (Or 'next' or 'previous' topic link) or hover on a forum title it will display rewritten '.html' destination but a click on any of these will only you transport you to my 404 error page.
• I went back through Mixed Mod Install file and went line by line and file by file on my server to make sure all mod pieces were installed correctly.
• I have installed the 'www' prefix rewrite mod (But frankly I have tried both option one and option two to no perceptable effect - have option two in my htacces file - see below)
• I have installed the Cyber Alien guest sessions strip mod.
• I am at current rev - PHPBB 2.0.21
• Mod rewrite is on my server
• I have read the other thread on this topic and tried the suggestions listed there. (Too bad the poster did not tell us what he fixed to get to a happy state on his casino site . . . )
I have just restored the sessions and functions.php mods to factory fresh so that I have a working forum until I get some help here that will make this mod work. Looking forward to how to troubleshoot it.
Note:
I do use MX portal but only for a couple of pages and the primary mx module I use is the HTML one where I can place my own code to call lists of recent topics.
Below is the contents of my root .htaccess file
| Code: | Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes

A followup: I did notice what may be some typos in the phpBB-SEO-Mixed-mod-Rewrite_V_0.0.2.txt
Some were benign - like 'sud folder' instead of 'subfolder' in the htaccess instructions or listing includes/function.php instead of the actual filename 'includes/functions.php'
This is probably unrealted to my problem but I was aware of a potential bug when I saw this snippet in the 'search.php' modifications"
The FIND search string is repeated twice but I could only find one instance in my search.php file. So I did what the mod said but I wonder if the second insertion ($highlight_ok = ($highlight !=' . . .) is actually placed in the right location.
| Code: | #
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
for($i = 0; $i < count($searchset); $i++)
{
#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
// phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
$seo_forum_name = $searchset[$i]['forum_name'];
// phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
for($i = 0; $i < count($searchset); $i++)
{
#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
# Here You can also choose not to output any highlight, which is better as far as SEO, but a bit less user-friendly.
# To do so just delete the $highlight_ok in the next replace and do not apply this one.
// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
$highlight_ok = ($highlight !='') ? "&highlight=$highlight" : '';
// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END
|
OK - hope that helps another person or the coder squash a bug - now back to my issue - please tell me what to look for in my install.
thanks |

And welcome
Don't worry, if mod rewrite is on on your web server, then it will work.
Actually, the mods, all three of them works very nicely, it's just that mod rewrite and .htaccess are somehow tricky sometime, but it's most likely almost nothing.
It's just you need as advised to got for one step at a time.
So you say the URLs are outputted correctly, so if mod rewrite is on, there should be no problems.
So please first try with only the rewriteruels from this mod, then, we'll put back you security rewriterules (by the way, I can help you out securitizing you site as well, in the security forum).
So, please try this in your root's .htaccess first :
| Code: | Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

Which should work right away, but you must know mod rewrite and server settings can make some rules working a bit different. Here I wrote those to be the more strict as possible, in order to save time processing Reg-Ex, in very very few cases, we need to open them a bit more, but I doubt it will be your case.
By the way I think the mixed mod rewrite is a good choice for your project.
To test live, you can even just upload the .htaccess and try to load -http://www.visualeditors.com/forum/topic5402.html for example, if it works, then this will mean the .htaccess is ok for topics (and thus static rules).
If you really want to be sure before you put the php code changes online, you can as well try -http://www.visualeditors.com/forum/general-discussion-vf18.html
Then, if thos are redirected properly, then, you can put back your code changes online again and they'll work
Then, for the typo, I did not understand, sub forum and subforum, but where ? Of course I'll be happy to correct whatever mistake, even spelling, you'll report
And yes the search string is repeated twice, but once is followed by an after add, and then a before add, so, it's two instructions for real.
I'm sure you'll make it.
Then, the best when it works would be to maybe ask for help to merge you two .htaccess (the one you previously had and the new one from this mod) in the mod rewrite forum, or as said in the security forum if you wish to audit your security rules.
And of course we'll then be able to take care about the www prefixe duplicate.
Here, the simple RewriteEngine on being repeated can explain your problems.

Merci for the swift reply and thoughtful help - but it still does not work.
I replaced my htaccess files with just the code you suggested.
I went back through and verified that all the mods are inplace.
I verified them again.
Still not working. I get the same 404 errors
Using the test files you suggested:
--> http://visualeditors.com/forum/topic5443.html
--> http://www.visualeditors.com/forum/topic5402.html
What should I look for next?
FYI, for the search.php code snippet I understand your directions are to place a BEFORE and AFTER this instruction:
| Code: | for($i = 0; $i < count($searchset); $i++)
{ |
so that it results in THIS:
| Code: | // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
$highlight_ok = ($highlight !='') ? "&highlight=$highlight" : '';
// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END
for($i = 0; $i < count($searchset); $i++)
{
// phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
$seo_forum_name = $searchset[$i]['forum_name'];
// phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END |
Also, in the instructions there is this small typo:
| Code: | | # phpBB is installed in a sud Folder : |
subfolder not sud folder.
And this could also be improved if it said something like:
If your phpBB is installed in a subfolder then use the following htaccess code. Note: replace 'phpBB' with the name of the subfolder that contains your phpBB forum
Just a suggestion.
So - any ideas?
P.S. - I do know mod rewrite is ON - I use .htaccess files in other directories on the site. Mainly in the Wordpress blogs to dispplay a topic title permallink structure foro the archives.
But I also use it here:
http://www.visualeditors.com/forum/archive

So it's correct for the search.php changes. And thanks for the suggestion
All right, then do you have an .htaccess in the forum/folder ?
And is there anything else in you root's .htaccess ?
Because, in our case, the links are being redirected to what seems an error document, so there must be other setting somewhere interfering with the one we want to implement.
Is it dedicated hosting ? Are any other domains installed in the same folder ?
And try to get rid or the / before the second "forum/" of every rewriterules, just in case.
Then, as the code php side is working, I suggest you keep the original files online until we get the test link to work, so that your users can still access the board.
As well some local testing can be wise while setting up several mod rewrites together.
In all cases, we'll do it

Yep that did it! I removed .this htacces file that was in my 'forum' folder.
| Code: | RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ sitemap.php [L]
RewriteRule ^forum-([0-9]+).xml$ sitemap.php?fid=$1 [L] |
It was there to rename a php file for a Google sitemap generator.
I can probably find a better sitemap generator.
Now - I thought that the forum topics would be renamed to use their topic title in the url instead of just a numeral like "http://visualeditors.com/forum/topic5434.html"
My forum 'Archive' htaccess file properly renames topics using their name.
That .htaccess file looks like this.
| Code: | RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^.+\.html$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^.+\.htm*$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^member-.+\.html*$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^members.+$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^forums.* index.php
RewriteRule ^forum([0-9]*).* viewforum.php?f=$1&mark=topic
RewriteRule ^viewforum([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([0-9]*).* viewforum.php?f=$1&topicdays=$2&start=$3
RewriteRule ^forum([0-9]*).* viewforum.php?f=$1
RewriteRule ^ptopic([0-9]*).* viewtopic.php?t=$1&view=previous
RewriteRule ^ntopic([0-9]*).* viewtopic.php?t=$1&view=next
RewriteRule ^ftopic([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([a-zA-Z]*)-([0-9]*).* viewtopic.php?t=$1&postdays=$2&postorder=$3&start=$4
RewriteRule ^ftopic([0-9]*)-([0-9]*).* viewtopic.php?t=$1&start=$2
RewriteRule ^ftopic([0-9]*).* viewtopic.php?t=$1
RewriteRule ^ftopic([0-9]*).html viewtopic.php?t=$1&start=$2&postdays=$3&postorder=$4&highlight=$5
RewriteRule ^sutra([0-9]*).* viewtopic.php?p=$1 |
What I noticed is that segment that you don't have.
This is, of course, from the html archiver script - http://www.ScriptWiz.com/phpbb-html-archiver.html
It generates THIS page.
http://www.visualeditors.com/forum/archive
With a typical topic rewrite looking lke this:
http://www.visualeditors.com/forum/archive/portfolio-critique-request-5115.htm
I really like your SEO solution but think it would be best to have topic titles searchable to be working at full potential. Maybe I missed something else on the install?
Also what should i do now for security, sitemaps and my MX install?
Maybe I should upgrade mx-portal, thsn go for MX sitemap mod?
I have also been able to reinstall a couple of my protections back into my root .htaccess. Are these any good?
My current root .htaccess file looks like this:
| Code: |
Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^visualeditors\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.visualeditors.com/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]

After upgrading to the advanced rewrite mod I now get a fatal' Internal server error" when I invoke the .htaccess.
1) Advanced SEOmod .htaccess is conflicting with something - but what?.

I have double checked the instructions for the advanced mod and verified (twice!) that they are installed correctly.
Ideas? |

Please use the support thread when applying, which here is the case .
There should be no problem though with those, since the mixed mod rewrite uses the same syntax and was working.
Actually they are exactly the same until :
Try without the www prefix rewriterule at first to see.
Make sure as well you .htaccess was uploaded correctly in the root folder.
And please use the release thread, you'll find others people findings

Thank You,
The sample .htaccess code you provided solved my 404 errors. The only thing I changed to get it to work was:
| Code: | | Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes |
instead of:
| Code: | | Options +FollowSymlinks |
as in the directions.
Not sure if this is a change that should be added into the installation or if its an isolated problem, but no more 404 |
