Fresh ez4 install problem

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.

- 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)

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.
