Hello,

I have recently changed hosts and I am experiencing an interesting issue with the latest EZ Publish - although this worked on a previous host using the same configuration.

I install EZ Publish using the install tool with no apparent problem. However, when I type in the base url for the site I see the demo Frontpage with no images. Selecting any of the links and changing the url still displays this page.

I CANNOT visit the admin area or display debug information either. The same Frontpage is displayed.

It seems that everything after index.php is ignored.

Is this an issue at the host as I have not experienced this before.

Kind regards,

Gary Kenny

Hello,

I can confirm that the ISP is running Apache 1.3, PATH_INFO is enabled and that PHP is running under CGI (phpsuexec is running).

Anybody able to offer assistance?

Kind regards,

Gary

Hello,

I guess the answer is that PHP is running under CGI and that this is not supported in EZ Publish.

Cheers,

I'm experiencing the same issue, since two days ago. I know that my host updated something about apache. They didn't tell me what. Is there any thing I can check in order to get ezpublish working again?

Refer to the following post for information on how to patch the '/lib/ezutils/classes/ezsys.php' file so that ezpublish will run under PHP as CGI.

**NOTE: The line numbers are a bit off (by about 9 lines). Make sure you match the beginning and ending code. The lines with a '-' preceding them should be deleted. The lines with a '+' should be kept. Delete the preceding '+' signs.

I had the same problem and fixed it after a bit of hunting by looking for the following line in site.ini
IndexPage=/content/view/full/2/
This will give you the root page. However if you installed the demo page: IndexPage=/content/view/full/24 will be located in siteaccess/demo/site.ini.append.

Also be really carefull editing site.ini. I found that after editting a whole wack of stuff I should of read the first 10 lines.

I think DefaultAccess=demo (which I think is default if you install the demo system at install) can cause problems to as then it will 100% link to siteaccess/demo/site.ini.append. Make sure you change this to user or own personal siteaccess settings. It makes a world of difference.

Hope that helps,
