do i need to update my .htaccess file?

If it’s not the one that came with TXP 4.2 then yes.

Also Godaddy’s Apache configuration might be something to look at. I think you can read that in Admin > Diagnostics. I’m not sure how to troubleshoot further when looking at Apache stuff, or if that’s even the culprit.

Thanks for that.

I am using the htaccess file that come with 4.2.0 and still no luck in the diagnostics all it says when i use friendly URLs is

‘Clean URLs are only supported by Apache, use at your own risk’

What help is that! I am guessing it muct be the apache config in godaddy ;(

Anyone else had this problem?

Have you tried the .htaccess provided in this post?
If it doesn’t work with that, please post your diagnostics.

Thanks Els, I have tried http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?pid=153244#p153244 but no luck, it still tells me page not found when i try and go directly to the section e.g. domain.com/blog

This is what the diagnostics info says:

Any ideas whats wrong?

This:

Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.0

Clean URLs are designed to work with and tested with Apache, as it says in the diagnostics:

Clean URLs are only supported by Apache, use at your own risk

Partly Messy: Clean urls without mod_rewrite provides an idea for a work-around method if you can define a document for a “Not Found” condition.

Alex007 : you can just switch to Linux server for free!
for this go to your hosting page under your account.

Thanks Blue Dragon

Only if it was that simple! I goto the Hosting page under my account and then to the control panel and i have no option to switch.

Do you know if there is a help page for this?

THE BLUE DRAGON · 2009-09-23 08:28:30

To Switch Your Hosting Account Operating System
Log in to your Account Manager.
In the My Products section, select Hosting.
Click on the name of the hosting account whose operating system you want to change.
In the Account Details section on the right, click Upgrade/Downgrade Hosting Account.
In the Select New Plan section, select a new hosting plan. You can also upgrade your bandwidth (additional data transfer) and disk space at this time.
Click Continue.
If your new hosting plan is an upgrade from your existing plan, proceed through the purchase process. Otherwise, click Save Changes.
This change may make take up to 72 hours depending on the size of the site, the number of databases and other factors that may increase the complexity of the migration. You will receive a email message when we complete your upgrade.

GoDaddy suggested to me to use a php5.ini file with the same content as the packaged .htaccess – Didn’t work. I can verify again that Page 1’s .htaccess file works AS IS when the TXP 4.2.0 install is at the root (don’t know about inside a blog folder).

Surprisingly, the “RewriteBase / “ line DID NOT need the addition of /title or section/title to deliver clean URLs which I expected to have to do.

Also, went back to using .htaccess instead of php5.ini HUGE thanks! Now if FoodNewsie.com is screwed up, it’s all my own fault. Damn… :)

ExperienceIntermedia · 2012-07-21 22:13:35

So now it’s my turn.
I created a database, gave it a password and that seems fine
so I go to the TextPattern setup page…. enter all the info and click next.
I get this:

Checking database connection…

Can’t connect to database

I have done my research and know that the info I entered is correct.
I have also done every step I could find in this forum.
now what?

HELP! I wanna use this thing (i think)… at least I wanna see it work :p

I have not contacted godaddy cause they never tell me anything useful and it wastes my time.

I so hope someone can help!

maniqui · 2012-07-21 22:41:44

Have you set the DB host correctly in your config.php?
It’s usually something like this:

$txpcfg['host'] = 'your_database_name.db.xxxxxxxxx.hostedresource.com';

I think you can find the corresponding value in the GoDaddy control panel. (I don’t use GoDaddy myself, but I’ve had to set up a TXP site there in the past).

kevinpotts · 2012-07-22 11:28:42

The easiest thing to get tripped up by on a GoDaddy install is definitely the host server. It is not localhost. GD provides a lengthy path, similar to what Julián cited above, and it requires some digging inside your MySQL settings page. Alternatively, you can log into phpMyAdmin and see the server address there as well.

ExperienceIntermedia · 2012-07-23 19:29:43

Yup, did all that. If it wasn’t my clients info I would just post it for ya….. I’m actually not even sure anymore if TXP is what I wanna use…

I should ask first…. I have a site that I built for them from scratch years ago…. They wanna add and edit info on the site but are more than happy with the site itself…. Would I have to build a new site with Textpattern or can I just point it to the locations of images and files and what not and let them edit what is already there?

Seems like textpattern is like…..dupal… or……. wordpress or….one of them other blog creating thinggies which is totally NOT what I wanna do…. I just want them to be able to edit what is already there (as none of them know how to code and wont learn)

Thankee!!

uli · 2012-07-24 19:23:55

Well, if a CMS is not what you like to learn AND you built the site from HTML files, have a look at zimplit. I’ve played several minutes with it some years ago and it seemed like there’s not much to learn (which implies: there’s not much you can do with it ;) It can be used for free and still seemed to live at the end of last year.

ExperienceIntermedia · 2012-07-25 18:10:07

HEY it’s a wysiwyg editor!!! YAY!!!! sadly it kinda comes up with a login form but godaddy won’t allow it to write to the config file which it wants to so past the login screen, it wont do anything yet.

another avenue I can play with :) Thanks! Love it
