Please look at the page linked to below. It brings up an error message 'Please add the maps.googleapis.com script in your document head' but if you look at the page source the script is in the head. Can someone please put me straight? http://www.the-limes.com/postcards/chalfont-st-peter/chalfont-st-peter-001/

Is there any body there?

Sorry about the wrong forum.

I've got Map marker mod installed and put it on a template (which has a sidebar), I then created a page from that template, put in all the details of the lat/long etc. and can see the map and marker in edit mode. I'm probably being stupid but how the heck do I make the map appear at the top of my sidebar in view mode (and published mode)?

Thank you.

If I have a page created by PW at www.my-domain.com/a/page-1 how do I link (or redirect?) to a previously existing php page on my domain that has not been created by PW, for example www.my-domain.com/b/c/page-2.php? I already have a great number of pages on my site which are dynamically generated by another software.

Sorted. Many thanks.

Thank you so much. By looking at my actual site you could see the problem that I was not aware of. I really appreciate your help in solving that one. Do you have any idea why the line: if(!$user->isLoggedin()) $session->redirect("/index.html"); which I have at the top of my _init.php has stopped working: when I am logged in to PW admin and try to view the home page it goes to index.html (my existing html website's index page) and not index.php the PW homepage on my domain? At present I can only view it by typing the url in a browser.

The silence is deafening. I take it that this PW malfunction appears to be unique to me and nobody has any idea what to do to fix it. Thank you anyway to those who tried and those who maybe thought about it. Guess I had better look at a different CMS.

I tried several things without success so I've gone back a step and hopefully will have narrowed down the possibilities. I fully deleted PW and did a fresh install using the intermediate minimal site profile. All other settings are as described above except that there have been no modifications to the scripts with the exception of uncommenting the RewriteBase / in htaccess. When I make a child page of 'About' using basic-page template it is viewable (the link is towards the bottom of the 'About' page, not in the head menu) and everything is fine and viewable whether I am logged in or not. When I make a child page of 'Home' using basic-page template it is NOT viewable whether I am logged in or not - it just displays the domain holding page. The title of the child page does however appear in the top menu of the home page. If I then make a child page of that non-functioning child page then that second generation child page IS viewable whether I am logged in or not (but I have to get to it by typing its web address because its parent page is non functional (or should I say non viewable?). The non-functioning child page does NOT have a check mark in the 'Unpublished. Not visible on site' box. Any ideas? To give further clues: If I now re-comment out the RewriteBase / in htaccess then the home page still displays OK, all other originally supplied pages give a 500 error, and the three child pages I created give a domain holding page.

So many questions! Here goes: Thanks for the correction on terminology. Menu not tabs. The RewriteBase / is uncommented in htaccess because PW wouldn't install properly without it. In my domain the PW site and wire folders are my-domain/wire and my-domain/site. the path to my-domain/index.php is /vhost/vhost15/x/x/x/my-domain/www/index.php the child page was created using the existing basic-page template. It's url is www.my-domain.com/contact/ Diagnostics output: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_3Dx4GuBdAldHVTSWNaeG4xbVU/view?usp=sharing I haven't created any new templates in admin (yet!) I have successfully changed the google font on the site profile. I have added the following script to the to the top of _init.php in my site directory to allow my existing index.html page to lead into my existing website until I can get the PW site working to replace it. (see my previous post 'Running processwire site in unpublished mode')

Are you aware of what the few default site profiles supplied with PW look like? I have one of the simpler ones installed and have created only one child page at present: Contact. It appears as a link at the top of the home page, see: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_3Dx4GuBdAlcEY4WkVyRGdhc1E/view?usp=sharing All of the other original links as supplied by the PW installation work; it's just my new link which brings up the domain holding page.

Please can anyone suggest why new pages are not displaying on my Processwire site? I have downloaded and installed PW into the root of my domain. I can log in and out at will with no problems. I am using a standard PW site (can't remember if it was beginner or intermediate) as a starting point. For example when I create a child page for the home page using the basic-page template, it shows up on the line of tabs at the top of the home page, but when I select that tab I just get my host's domain holding page. In case it helps, on the newly created child's settings page it says: ' Access is inherited from page "/" and defined with template: home' I presume that this is because I had to uncomment RewriteBase / in htaccess to make things work in the first place?

Thank you. Done and solved.

I have an existing website. I have installed processwire in my root directory and it all works fine. I have set all the existing sample pages to unpublished mode while I build up the replacement website using processwire. My problem is that I have now two index files: my original index.html and the new processwire index.php. Is there a way to set the index.php to be hidden unless called for to log in to processwire, thus leaving index.html as the gateway to my existing website? I know I can put processwire on a subdomain but I need it to link into my genealogy database php pages on my old site. The blurb on my genealogy scripts says: Can be used with Wordpress and other content management systems. Not only does TNG work great on its own, it can also function seamlessly as a module under any of these systems (with single sign-on) when used with an approved freeware add-on program. Use whatever theme you want! Any advice would be much appreciated.

Sorted. I still am not sure how but things are now working correctly. I have only uncommented the RewriteBase / line and apart from that the .htaccess file is unchanged. And all is sweetness and light. Don't ask..... Thank you everybody for your patience and advice.

I just went to the htaccess file and uncommented the RewriteBase / line. Saved the file. Gone to subdomain.my-domain.com/processwire/ and got the usual 500 error message.

Should I have to put the full path in the rewrite base line? The full path to my subdomain directory is: /vhost/vhost15/*/*/*/***-*****.com/****** The htaccess file is currently as supplied.

What I actually said was that I thought it was working originally on my main domain because it let me log in to admin, but what I hadn't realised was that the minute I logged out I could no longer log back into admin because instead of the login page I got the 500 error page. I have since set up a fresh new subdomain and tried a fresh install in the subdomain and did not even get the chance to do an initial log in...

I've been there and tried various things one at a time: I went to each of the places where the htaccess file made suggestion if there was a 500 error, and at each case I changed the commenting as suggested, saved the htaccess filer and then tried to get into admin. No joy. So then I would go back into htaccess, undo the change I had just made, go to the next 500 error suggestion and change that, save the htaccess and try again to get into admin. And so ad nauseum. No joy. My installation is directly into the empty root of the subdomain: the only other files being a tiny test.html, phpinfo.php, and robots.txt. The only other thing I can think of if it is an htaccess problem is either that I'm procedurally doing something wrong, or that the htaccess file needs more than one correction doing for processwire to work on my subdomain.

Hi Charles, That's what I did do (I think). I set up a new subdomain from which specifically to run processwire. I then tried to install it from a fresh download from the processwire download site. I then went throught the install procedure using default settings except where I had to direct it to the database and to supply an admin password and email address. Then it completed the setup as I clearly explained at the top of this topic, and it said it was all successfully set up and invited me to log in to my admin. And there I get the above error message. From any browser and any computer or phone... I should point out that I am not currently trying to install any additional module. I'm just trying to get basic processwire to install.

I have installed Processwire in the root of a subdomain on my domain host's linux server several times, failed to get access to my ProcessWire, deleted the whole thing, started afresh, and gone round and round in unsuccessful circles till I'm blue in the face. Please will someone tell me what I am doing wrong? When I install the processwire-dev it connects OK to the database, completes setup including telling me that the admin account is saved and that it has removed all the unnecessary install stuff, and that depending on my environment I may want to make config.php unwritable etc. etc. It says that my admin url is ******** and gives me a button to access it. I select the button and get: Internal Server ErrorThe server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, support@iomart.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. I can see the default homepage with the minimal site profile info on it, but none of the links on it work either - they all give the same error message as above. I've got phpinfo on the subdomain but I haven't posted its contents here (security issues?)... I've even tried installing Processwire on my subdomain via my smartphone to make sure there wasn't a caching problem. Same failed result as before. Any ideas please?

Just been talking to my hosts tech help and they say that the Port 3306 business shouldn't make any difference. Apparently all that means is that an external MySQL server database cannot connect to my webserver and so to my database. (I think I got that right).

I've just found the following info about my host's configuration: 'Please note that access to the MySQL port 3306 is blocked externally and only allows traffic back and forward from our webservers to the MySQL server. This is for security reasons.' Is this what is screwing up my attempts to install ProcessWire?

Hi Macrura, You may well be right about a lot of what you suggest but I am seriously floundering here. Not waving but drowning. As I said right at the very top othis topic 'I am a newby to ProcessWire and to PHP. I want to change my html designed website to dynamic and to have it show differently on mobiles, desktops etc. Within my website I already use TNG software (PHP) which dynamically generates genealogy pages.' Now, let us go back a week or ten days. My website, designed in html by me, was on a Windows server. In one directory and its subdirectories ran a php genealogy software called TNG (The Next Generation of genealogy software). And everything was sweetness and light. Then came a TNG upgrade from v9 to v10. Over the years I had done many TNG upgrades without problem. This time all of my genealogy pages disappeared from the browser. The author of the software said that he thought it was because I was on such old versions of PHP and MySQL. I then had a chat with my hosting providers who suggested that maybe it would be a good idea to move me over to a Linux server which had much more up to date PHP and MySQL, MySQLi etc. Also it enabled me within their pricing structure to have a second database which I couldn't on a Windows server. So I said OK. Since then I still haven't managed to get either ProcessWire or TNG working on the Linux server. I have managed to set a password protection on a directory using htaccess which involved determining the full path to that password file. And it worked. But as for the rest... I have currently given the TNG author all my site details and he is going to hit it with a stick and see if he can get it installed. As to the ProcessWire, goodness only knows. Your idea of a sub-domain sounds good to me. All I want to do is quietly tinker over the coming months with a new version of my website which will include all the TNG generated stuff and also whatever else I choose to put into it. While I am developing this new dynamic site where everything is cleanly displayed on desktops, mobiles etc., I still want to have my original site running as normal. Also I don't want search engines trawling the new site until it goes live. I should be most grateful for any advice you can give.
