[Solved] Site not working properly.

[Ashoat]

So... you definitely do have an .htaccess. And it has rewrite rules.

 

root@stevie [/home1/blade76/public_html]# cat .htaccess 
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .*/http-bind
RewriteRule (.*) /http-bind [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.feed|\.pdf|\.raw|/[^.]*)$  [NC]

RewriteRule (.*) index.php
AuthName j-shaw.co.uk
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

 

Is this a recent change? Have you tried removing it?

[Jordan Shaw]

I've not changed anything by hand, but it mist have been when i accidently deleted all of my files, which was the Frontpage extension ones, but even then I could not see .htaccess in my directory beforehand anyway. Just postinfo.html and something else with all the other folders.

 

Could it have been when I was trying to install Oxwall Community Software?

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/index.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.feed|\.pdf|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]

 

That's what that part is, ow_updates was a folder in the file, and changed the .htaccess file to go to index.php so it would work?

[Ashoat]

If you're not seeing the .htaccess, it might be that your FTP client is considering it a hidden file (hidden files are prefixed with a period character in *NIX systems).

 

Does everything work if you remove the file?

[Jordan Shaw]

What do you mean, if what file is removed? The .htaccess file?

[Ashoat]

Yes.

[Jordan Shaw]

Has it been deleted?

[slcrazydiamond]

Has it been deleted?

 

I think he ment that you need to try that self

I can't remove it. I do not know where I can gain access to the file, to delete it.

[slcrazydiamond]

if you use for example filezilla ftp client you can force it to show hidden files. With that you should be able to.

Just upload and index.php file to your public_html directory with the following code:

 

 

$filename = __DIR__.'/.htaccess';
chmod($filename, 0777);
unlink($filename);

unlink(__FILE__);

 

Then visit the url to your site.

I put that code into the index.php file and it doesn't show up as htaccess file, just as a page with that text on it.

 

OK, I've got my htaccess file on my computer. This is what it is:

 

<Limit GET POST>

order deny,allow

deny from all

allow from all

</Limit>

<Limit PUT DELETE>

order deny,allow

deny from all

</Limit>

What would I need to change?

[Ashoat]

You need to /delete/ that file. The script Geoff wrote for you will delete the file for you.

[Jordan Shaw]

I've deleted the .htaccess file now.

 

What next?

[Byron]

It looks like your ready to go now. I'm seeing your index.php now. The reason your seeing that code instead of it executing the script is becasue you forgot the php tags.

 

<?php & ?>

 

Go ahead and create an index.html file if that is what you intend to use.

 

 

 

 

 

[Jordan Shaw]

Ahh. Thank you for all of your help! It now looks to all be working, with index.html as my main web-page when visiting my website! You're a really great team of people, honestly!

 

Kind regards,
