Getting rid of the ? sign in the "index.php?"

Wednesday 15 September 2010 8:10:31 am

Hello,

I have hosted a new ezpublish site and the url comes out like this

http://www.site.com/index.php?/esl/Mi-Empleo

Having the ? sign is giving me some problems in the way the site works, search does not work at all (404 error) and other submission buttons also reports a 404 error.

I once saw some .htaccess code that got rid of the ? of the site and the search worked properly

Can someone help please.

Thanks

Thanks.

In have access to the .htaccess, so I can modify it...

I can add RewriteEngine On

But when it comes to selecting something (RewriteRules) from the second comment of the link you gave me... cannot tell what to add to my .htaccess. Can you be more specific, I just need something to get rid of the "?", it seems there is a lot of stuff there that handles other issues (wich I do not understand, sorry).

thanks again!

Hi Jorge,

I have also the same issue. I am running php in fast cgi mode. Bez of fast cgi or cgi , in url, after index.php a question mark will be genered by ezpublish. Also search will not work as Gaetano told.

What I did is I have changed the get method to post in search templates. If site visitors allowed to create contents by clicking on some button, check the templates to see how the data is managed(by post or get method) , if neccessary change it into post.

Otherwise only solution is to try the virtualhost setup in your .htaccess . I am sorry tosay that I do not have any idea to set up rewrite rules in .htaccess if you don't hav access to httpd.conf. Hope some experienced hands may help u.

Regards

Romeo

Romeo,

Thanks for the tip,

The search uses Get so I will change it to Post (in the past I remember doing such a change for a web site and worked ok)

But the creation of content uses Post (creation of two custom objects and other ez´s built in objects). Should I change them to GET instead of Post.

If you get your hands on .htaccess code that can handle this whole mess please let me know ASAP, it seems a better solution to handle this issue.

Thanks again

Try putting this in your .htaccess:

<span class="line">DirectoryIndex index.php</span>  <span class="line"></span>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule content/treemenu/? /index_treemenu.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/storage/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/storage/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/([^/]+/)?cache/(texttoimage|public)/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/share/icons/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/extension/[^/]+/design/[^/]+/ (stylesheets?|images?|javascript|flash|lib?)/.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^/packages/styles/.+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/[^/]+/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/packages/styles/.+/thumbnail/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/favicon\.ico - [L]
RewriteRule ^/robots\.txt - [L]
RewriteRule .* /index.php<span class="line"></span>

I haven't tried it, but it should work.

Gabriel,

Thi is the whole .htaccess,

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule content/treemenu/? /index_treemenu.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/storage/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/storage/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/([^/]+/)?cache/(texttoimage|public)/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/share/icons/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/extension/[^/]+/design/[^/]+/ (stylesheets?|images?|javascript|flash|lib?)/.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^/packages/styles/.+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/[^/]+/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/packages/styles/.+/thumbnail/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/favicon\.ico - [L]
RewriteRule ^/robots\.txt - [L]
RewriteRule .* /index.php

The following lines where already there (added automatically by the hosting service)

The result page gave me this:

500 - Internal Server Error

This is a temporary server error.

Please try to reload the webpage later.

If you are the webmaster of this site please log in to Cpanel and check the Error Logs. You will find the exact reason for this error there.

Common reasons for this error are:

• Incorrect file/directory permissions: Above 755. In order files to be processed by the webserver, their permissions have to be equal or below 755. You can update file permissions with a FTP client or through cPanel's File Manager.
• Incorrect Apache directives inside .htaccess file. Make sure you have not specified unsupported directives inside the local .htaccess file. Such include PHP settings and Apache module settings.

-----------------------

Everything is 755. Any tips?

Thanks,

Went and changed "Rewriterule" to "RewriteRule".

Still getting same errors. I then checked out the error log file and found:

[Fri Sep 17 15:57:58 2010] [alert] [client 200.55.128.21] /home/cubaempl/public_html/.htaccess: RewriteRule: bad flag delimiters
[Fri Sep 17 15:57:54 2010] [alert] [client 200.55.128.21] /home/cubaempl/public_html/.htaccess: RewriteRule: bad flag delimiters

There´s something else wrong.

This is the whole "code" of the .htaccess:

-----------------------------------

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bolsaempleocuba.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.bolsaempleocuba.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.pincha\-aqui\.com" [R=301,L]
RewriteRule content/treemenu/? /index_treemenu.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/storage/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/storage/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/([^/]+/)?cache/(texttoimage|public)/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/share/icons/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/extension/[^/]+/design/[^/]+/ (stylesheets?|images?|javascript|flash|lib?)/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/packages/styles/.+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/[^/]+/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/packages/styles/.+/thumbnail/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/favicon\.ico - [L]
RewriteRule ^/robots\.txt - [L]
RewriteRule .* /index.php

Trying...

It's NOT giving the error page, but the page displays strange, as if no CSS loads at all (the code of the pages seems right with the call to all CSS)

Resume: It displays as plain text all the top menu items, and all the left menu items, then the copyright (all displayed in one column) and NO CONTENT AT ALL

I will leave it as it is: please take a look at www.pincha-aqui.com

Almost there, thanks Gabriel

Thanks again

The site can be seen now...

I have tried the search but it still gives me an error page...

When a user tries to create an object it always sends me to the home page

Visit the page again and try the search...

Thanks again!
