strange error in admin page "Unrecognized path"

[sakkoulas]

hi, i just install pw 2.5 and i get the "Unrecognized path" error in every page that has the question mark in the url.

for example mywebsite.com/page/add/?parent_id=something or

mywebsite.com/.com/website/processwire/module/edit?name=AdminThemeDefault

show the unrecognized path error

the page tree in admin home page is empty. 

also in front page when i search something for example the word about 

http://www. mywebsite.com/website/search/?q=About+&submit=    

i get a 404 error 

the php version is 5.3.29

and the web-server  is Lighttpd

Hi Sakkoulas,

did you by any chance solve this problem yet? 
I'm running PW 2.4.0 on a Windows machine and am running into the same problem.

Frontend is working fine on my end, problem only occurs in the Admin environment.

I'm on PHP 5.3.28.

This sounds like an .htaccess problem. If you are running Lighttpd instead of apache, you will need to adjust the included .htaccess rules - mainly the rewrite rules, but potentially others too. Google "Lighttpd .htaccess" for some assistance on that front. 

Currently PW only officially supports apache by default, but there is a guide to getting it up and running with nginx. I don't think there is anything yet for Lighttpd. Maybe if you figure things out, you could write something up.

hi pascalKonings my hosting provider solved the error , it was a lighttpd configuration.

I was getting the above error every time that a page was using a get ( ?something ) method.

Adrian I think that now pw run perfect in lighttpd server I still building the page but everything seams to run smooth

Thanks, Sakkoulas and Adrian, I will contact my hosting provider as well to see if he can fix the problem!
