Hugo Oliveira	Friday 09 May 2008 3:54:13 am Hi, I've installed a fresh copy of ez publish 4 on my domain. However, when I finish the web setup wizard all is not well (but no errors ocurred during install). I can get my site page but not my admin interface page. Also, the web site gives me a kernel error (1). Can anyone help me with this? Thanks More information: site domain: <domain>/site site path: <domain>/site/public admin path: <domain>/site/admin_area package: plain_site version: ezpublish4.0.0 PHP: 5.2.5 MySQL: 5.0.45 Apache: 1.3.37 local php.ini (root of ezpublish installation): date.timezone = "Europe/Lisbon" magic_quotes_gpc = 0 magic_quotes_runtime = 0 P.S: I don't know which information more might be needed so just ask for it and I'll do my best to provide it. Thanks again.

During setup, the wizard shows a page that says that I'm not running the site in virtual host mode and says one should create a .htaccess from .htaccess_root. So I did this. However, I've tried accessing the site without this file and the results are the same. For some reason, ez publish only works if I write http://<domain>/site/index.php? This way, I can reach my administration interface provided I use the "index.php?" part. So the url looks like this: http://<domain>/site/index.php?/admin_area Does anyone know how to change this behaviour? I'm currently giving a shot at rewriting the url without "index.php?" on it but with no luck so far. Any ideas? Thanks
Gaetano Giunta	Tuesday 13 May 2008 1:39:38 pm - you do not need the ? after the index.php part, unless you have set up something weird in your .htaccess - the eZ Publish ini file responsible for deciding which siteaccess is in use depending on the client url used is eZPDir/settings/override/site.ini.append.php. In there, you should have something like this for a vhost config: [SiteAccessSettings] MatchOrder=host HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.my.site;my_site_admin HostMatchMapItems[]=www.my.site;my_site_user The above is an example for 2 siteaccess, one public and one admin. - make sure your dns config is ok (or your local /etc/hosts contains entry for both admin.my.site and www.my.site pointing o the same apache server) - make sure the apache config is properly set up to recognize the two vhosts and serve as DocumentRoot the eZ Publish dir in both cases - if you want the index.php part never to appear in urls generated by ezpublish, you should also set ForceVirtualHost=true (in the same settings file) Principal Consultant International Business Member of the Community Project Board
Hugo Oliveira	Tuesday 13 May 2008 4:57:41 pm Hi Gaetano, I tried the option you said ForceVirtualHost but it didn't do the trick. If I enable it my admin interface goes nuts. Also, I tried accessing it without the "?" but it does not work. I can't understand why. I'm still trying to figure this one out (especially as I need to take out the "index.php?" part from the urls) but so far I've come to a dead end. So I'll just post some more info: url example: http://www.climbingportugal.com/web/index.php?/plain_site_admin this is the minimum I must have in order to see the login form I'm trying to install it on a web hosting service that supports specifically eZ Publish (siteground) so I cannot reach apache's httpd.conf Again thanks for your help but I have to ask if you have any more ideas? Thanks again
Hugo Oliveira	Saturday 28 June 2008 3:49:52 pm Hi again, I decided to do a fresh install of my website, this time on the server's root. So I installed it on my domain's root and went through the installer. However, when I got to the end of it I had the same problem. Either I use "index.php?" right after my domain (in my URLs) or I can't get nowhere on the site. So, again, I'm asking for any help here. I've seen a few articles (here on ez.no) and tried a few possible solutions but with no luck. Again, and as an example, if I don't write the URL as: http://www.climbingportugal.com/index.php?/site_admin I have no way to go to the site's administrator interface. The same happens with the site's (plain) interface. All URLs are generated by ez publish using "index.php?". How can I change this? How can I get rid of the "index.php?" part? Thanks for any help anyone might provide. I'm really lost at this time P.S: I have no access to apache's httpd.conf but I have a .htaccess.
