Permanent link mode Error Message

progre55 · 2006-10-31 05:45:38

I think I may be going crazy. I have used 4.03 on numerous projects with another host without any issues. I am now attempting to use 4.04 with a new host (godaddy) and I am coming across issues I did not expect.

I have my Permanent link mode = section/id/title. Like I have used on all my other projects. The problem is that when I go to access the articles I get a page can not be found. If I add the “/” after the url the page then is displayed.

Any and all guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Any clues in your diagnostics? Is the 404 page generated by Textpattern, or the web server?

Zem:

Regarding the diagnostics: not that I can see … should I be looking some place in particular …

I think the error is being generated by the server … I have looked at the FAQ, but not sure if that is the direction I need to travel …

I would switch to the messy mode, but I then run into problems with category lists and other functions .. at least I think I do ….

Thanks.

Could you post what your diagnostics results are?

The 404 page does appear to be generated by the web server. That usually indicates a .htaccess problem.

Zem:

Should I go the route of the FAQ. I just have never messed with the htaccess file so I did not want to do it before checking …

zem · 2006-10-31 20:55:16

Also, you have some modified Textpattern files; those changes could be the cause.

progre55 · 2006-10-31 20:57:51

Zem:

Good point. I will revert back to the old files to see if that makes a difference.

If not, I will go the route of the htaccess file.

I modified the files to create pull downs for the custom menu and to expand the search into the custom fields.

I thought I was careful, but maybe not careful enough. I will let you know.

Zem:

I reverted back to unalteretd files with no luck.

I altered the htaccess files, still with no success.

I called the Host and I was told that it is some issue on their side. I am expecting (hoping) it gets resolved today.

Thanks for all the assistance and I will let you know what the answer was.

I received this reply back from GODaddy:

**We have reviewed your hosting account and have deteremined that the error displayed is caused by a mod_rewrite code not allowed to interpret without the trailing “/”. Please make the necessary adjustments to your .htaccess file. **

I tried the FAQ with no success. Any additional guidnace would be greatly appreciated.

Can’t help you there, but if you’re looking to switch hosts, try this thread for some reccomendations.

progre55 · 2006-11-02 04:23:23

jm:

I have other hosts that I could and have uses, but thanks for the post …

the client is attached to GoDaddy for some reason. It seems like changing the htaccess file would do the trick, but unfortunately after several hours of searching still no luck …

help?

Sencer · 2006-11-02 07:08:57

Can you post the contents of your .htaccess file? And describe the variations you tried?

progre55 · 2006-11-02 13:20:30

Senser:

First I started with the original:

————————————————————————

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
</IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0

————————————————————————

NO LUCK.

From there I followed the suggestions in the FAQ. NO LUCK

I then found these posts on the internet:

http://forum.modrewrite.com/viewtopic.php?t=2218: This looked very promising, but I could not get it to configure with our htaccess file without getting error.

http://enarion.net/web/apache/htaccess/trailing-slash/ : This also looked promising, but I think needed a tweak or two beyond my knowledge) since when I tried I got many errors

http://mail.mems-exchange.org/durusmail/quixote-users/624/ : Tried some variations with no luck.

I am sure I tried other things since I gave up after about 4 hours out of frustration for a problem that seems so minor.

Any assitance you could provide would be appreciated.

Thanks.
