No backend ???

I have ezpublish 3.9.1 on shared webspace. The frontend is running perfect and I can login into the frontend too, but not into the backend.

Because the setup wizard makes a lot of trouble on shared webspace, I have installed ez on my testserver and pushed the whole thing up to the webserver via ftp. The database via phpmyadmin.

I fixed all settings in siteaccess and override and one or two dates in the database and of course the /var is clean.

I open the url in my browser and it works fine in the frontend, but no way to login into the backend. On the first try there was a wrong link somethere, so the login to the backend went directly to my testing server. After cleaning the cache any change in the url shows the same site.

.../ez/ = .../ez/index.php = .../ez/index.php/ezwebin_site = .../ez/index.php/ezwebin_site_admin

I searched here and with google for hints over a week now and sure I talked with the support of the provider - up to now without any result.

Anybody seen such baehvior before, or anybody able to help with a hint or helping hand?

Hello,

eZ Publish requires more resources and services for normal use and operation than most shared hosting providers offer. The use of eZ Publish on shared hosting is strongly discouraged. <i>http://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/hosting#eztoc180580_2</i>

If your looking for suitible hosting, there are several Certified eZ Publish Partners who offer reasonable eZ Publish hosting, <i>http://ez.no/partner/worldwide_ez_publish_partners/(profile)/hosting</i>

I can not configure apache, but php. And what I know about ( I talked with the support team): Should work, but not easy and not out of the box.

Now I found, that I forgot that it is running in cgi and my test installation not. It is working without the questionmark, but only the frontend. Now I put the questionmark in the url. I get the login page, but than I suddenly get a misconfiguration error.

Perhaps I gave up to find such "cheap" solution, but would be great, when running...

Provided your override settings are correct and I understand your problem, I may have a hint. Some time ago I was forced to use hosting solutions with very uncommon configuration. Among other things, the PHP environment variables didn't have the expected values, for example $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] did not return anything that followed the script name:

request: /my_dir/index.php/my_siteaccess/my_node...
$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] value: /my_dir/index.php

If that's the case with your server (whatever environment variables that eZ needs are messed up), than no matter what the request is, most probably the default public siteaccess is called. The solutions are to change server (configuration) or use other (non standard or custom) environment variables. Both require some effort :)
However, if you can navigate the structure of the public site, then that's probably not it.

Double check you settings overrides.

I also wouldn't skip the setup wizard, especially when learning the server's capability of hosting eZ publish.

Good luck!
