Website Works Perfect On Local Host, On Server I Can't Access /login Page. What's Wrong?

[bearclaw]

Hello guys I'm new here!

I've been working on this website that I've made with Foundation. I wanted to put a CMS in it so now i'm here!

On my localhost the website works perfect. I've adjusted the Processwire CMS to my wishes and with /login I and other users would be able to change the texts on the website. So I thought I was ready to put it live. I exported the MySQL files. Created a new db. Imported everything. And via an FTP client uploaded all the files. The homepage works fine. But now whenever I want to login using /login which I changed /processwire to I get a 404 error:

Not Found

The requested URL /login was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

 

What am I doing wrong here?

I've checked a lot of messages on this forum about the .htaccess file but I haven't got it to work yet and need help from more experienced PW users:)

 

This is my website: http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Looks like you have to set a RewriteBase (just delete the # in front of the first line "RewriteBase /" or if your installations lays in a subfolder change it to "RewriteBase /subfolder/")

And please check if modrewrite is installed on your server: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9021425/how-to-check-if-mod-rewrite-is-enabled-in-php

[bearclaw]

Thanks for the quick reply.

But I still get the same error when my .htaccess file looks like this:

    RewriteBase /www/

  # RewriteBase /wp/

  # RewriteBase /~user/

 

My sit is in the /www folder. 

 

I've also checked if modrewrite is installed. When I search in the phpinfo() for Mod_Rewrite or anything like that it is not finding anything. 

Als these funcitons are disabled: apache_child_terminate,apache_get_modules,apache_note,apache_setenv

 

Does that mean that moderewrite is not installed on the server?

 

Kind regards,

 

Joris

[Nico Knoll]

Yes. So you should contact your hoster and ask if he could add it or allow it for your account. Or if this is a custom server you have to install it yourself..

[bearclaw]

No it's not a custom, will contact the host! Thanks for the help.

You could try "RewriteBase /" as your side is accessable via ""http://www.josbeerepoot.nl/www/".

Edit: Should have read more closely. You need to have ModRewrite installed before you check this
