Testing my TXP site but pages won't show.

I was trying to install my site here;

http://207.210.111.20/~flacamar/article/sample-page

But for whatever reason, the article that i created isn’t showing up. What possible reasons could there be?

I did a diagnostics check and I got the following two warnings. Not sure if they are related at all?

-Web Domain DNS lookup fails: 207.210.111.20
-Clean URL test failed.

I was told by my hosting company’s tech support the following;

Rewrite rules will not work when loading the site from this method. 
 Apache does not know how to properly handle them from this method.

But not quite sure what that means?

This works: http://207.210.111.20/~flacamar/index.php?id=2. It seems that clean URLs are not supported, so go to Admin > Preferences and change ‘permanent link mode’ to ‘messy’.

Also: what does it say for ‘Site URL’? It should be 207.210.111.20/~flacamar.

Great idea, Els!

I’m thinking that clean urls aren’t supported because I don’t have my domain pointing to this hosting account yet (I’ve used this hosting many times so I know it’s not the hosting company). But once the domain is pointing here, then I can change the messy urls to clean urls, right?

Hi :) Yes I think it’s quite possible that clean URLs start to work once the domain is resolved.

Re: Testing my TXP site but pages won't show.

So I here is what I did. I had to change the domain and have it point to this IP address.

I tried clicking on my diagnostics tab, but I get this error;

Fatal error: Unknown function: apache_get_modules() in /home/flacamar/public_html/textpattern/include/txp_diag.php on line 80

I located that file and it has something to do with Apache because this is that line of code;

$modules = apache_get_modules();

But I’m not sure what this means?

Re: Testing my TXP site but pages won't show.

Try the following:

1. Open up textpattern/include/txp_diag.php.
2. Find the two instances of is_callable('apache_get_modules') and replace them with function_exists('apache_get_modules').
