Already Impressed, but a Bit of Trouble...

[MatthewSchenker]

Greetings,

I've been reading and learning all I can find about ProcessWire. I have actually followed developments here for about a year, but am finally diving in formally now. Very impressed with the CMS and the community! I've been using Joomla (with Seblod CCK) for a couple of years, as well as CodeIgniter. But I get a feeling Processwire is the thing I've been looking for.

OK, I'm having a bit of an issue.

Probably a silly mistake on my part. After going through the installation process, I'm getting a "404 Not Found" error when I go to the admin login page.

My (temporary) domain is this -> http://50.22.43.59/~racc/

And I went here to log in -> http://50.22.43.59/~racc/processwire/

Can someone explain this?

Very eager to get started!

Thanks,

Matthew

Hi and welcome!

First thing would be checking if you have mod_rewrite enabled, but if you didn't get that error during the install, it must be. Second thing would be changing the Apache directive AllowOverride from None to All http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride. The file where you have to do this depends on the operative system.

Greetings,

Thanks diogo, but I don't know where I would make that change.

Would I add this as a line in my .htaccess file? Or does this directive have to be declared elsewhere?

I'm actually getting a "404" error on most pages of the sample site, not just the Admin login page.

Thanks,

Matthew

It probably requires RewriteBase to be set. See this line and comment above it: https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/blob/master/htaccess.txt#L76

So edit your .htaccess and add this line on line 77:

RewriteBase /~racc/

Hi Matthew & welcome to the forum.

Looks like apeisa got there with a suggestion first so I'll just add: here is some additional reading on the matter.

Greetings,

Aha...Yes! That solved it.

Now that you turned my attention to that section of the .htaccess file, I see it states that there might be problems with "temporary" sites with a "~" in the URL.

Hey, while I was there I corrected a typo om line 70: changed "aern't" to "aren't"!

See, I'm being helpful already (sarcasm on).

Thank you for the quick help everybody!

EDIT: I just voted for ProcessWire at the Critics Choice CMS Awards. Even just what I have seen in recent days tells me I have found the right thing. Don't know how I went this long without knowing about ProcessWire.

Thanks for finding it. I am correcting the master copy here.

Hi Bruno!

Did you try all the suggestions on this post and the posts that netcarver linked to?
