URI Not Parsing ?

Install: ez publish 3.01 on Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.2.3

I manually unpack the tar file, set permissions, prepare the DB and then run through the setup wizard successfully.

Everything looks good. I can access both the "plain" user site and the admin site via urls.

samples:
user site: http://ejas.net/
admin site: http://admin.ejas.net/

my rewrite rules are also apparently working properly:
http://ejas.net/design/admin/images/logo.gif

However, if you try logging in to the admin page listed above, you loop back to the same page. If you go to the plain user site and try a search or click on advanced search, you loop back to the default page as well.

My interpretation of this is that the URL (PATH_INFO) is not being properly parsed. Apache is properly set up by my hosting provider already, as far as I can see from their documentation, and I know that by default Apache 1.3.x has PATH_INFO enabled.

QUESTIONS:
1. Has anyone else seen this before?
2. Any brainstorms on possible causes?

I can post relevant setup.ini sections, .htaccess, etc. for review.

Thanks,
Ethan Schoonover

Could you show the rewrite rules?
And perhaps enable sql debug output?

My full .htaccess (virtual host, no access to httpd.conf).

AddType php-cgi .php
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule !\.(gif|css|jpg|png|js)$ index.php

Any solution to this? Or are we all dead in the water? I hate to have to switch to another CMS because of this...

Tray, don't give up yet. Ez crew is on easter break. I'm working on the problem actively. ez pub is still a great cms, snags are inevitable with the new release. If we all work on it, we'll crack the problem and you'll be rolling with ez publish soon!

Ok, some progress, but not a complete solution:

My hosting company requires php to be run asd php.cgi, otherwise base directory restrictions will be in effect (as well as system(), etc being restricted).

When running php as an apache module, not as cgi, the site functions "normally" (managing to survice the restricted php functionality) other than the significant annoyances such as no image variations, etc.

And from other posts such as http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/forum/install_configuration/ez_publish_rc2_problem it seems that ez publish doesn't like php running as cgi. ***Can this be confirmed?***

Ethan-

Interesting observation. I, too, am running PHP as a cgi. I will change it over to a module and see if it works correctly.

I changed it to a module. The logon page comes up - I log on as administrator (admin/publish) - and I now get a page can not be found error. Before, when loaded as a cgi, I would at least get the correct next page. Now it just get the above error.

http://192.168.168.55/ezpublish/index.php/admin/user/login/

That is the above URL it is trying to access when I get the error. So it appears that the parsing problem still exists, whether it is a module or cgi.

Tray, couldn't check that URL, the IP is local, not accessible to external networks. Are you getting a 500 (internal server error) or a 404?

If you ran ez setup initially, it might worthwhile reinstalling from scratch now that php is set to run as a module.

Also, do you have site.ini(.php) debug flags set?

Here is my debug from the initial logon page:

End

This is as far as I can get - I enter my logon information and I get the same error I talked about in my previous message..."The page cannot be found" - and no error log because it's like IE can't even find the page to generate an error log

So I fixed the above problems... it appears that the cache file it generates, on line 3 - the iso char set - has an extra pair of quotes in it... I was not able to track down where this is genereated, but I manually changed it.... now the debug looks like:

Timing: Apr 21 2003 08:35:46
Script start
Timing: Apr 21 2003 08:35:46
Module start 'user'
Timing: Apr 21 2003 08:35:46
Module end 'user'
Timing: Apr 21 2003 08:35:46
End

I still, when I try to log on... get the same "page can not be found"

The only thing I can think of... is I have magic quotes gpc on - but that should do it, would it?

Hi Tray,

I think this could be related to the memory limit setting in php.ini even though this is not the error message. Try a memory limit of larger than the default 8MB.

Did that last week. It's been at 16mb this entire time.

I've posted a separate thread titled PHP CGI in this forum for others to spot easily in the hopes we can start actively discussion running ez publish through php.cgi setups.

I have this same problem running on IIS 5.1 on windows XP. Install worked fine but cannot access anything other than the first page that loads.

I have upped the cache memory setting to 12mb but no effect.

Desperately need help.

Jim

PS Anyone know how to set up a virtual host on IIS?
