Problems with .htaccess and 404 "Dashboard not found"

admin

That error message appears when it can't connect to the Database. If you are certain that the info in your fuel/application/config/database.php file is correct, then I would make sure to check that your MySQL server is properly running and that PHP can connect to it. You may even try just doing a simple basic PHP script to connect to the database like so:
<?php $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } echo 'Connected successfully'; mysql_close($link); ?>

I'm finally happy to say that I was able to connect, and can now see the Dashboard. Onward!!!

Thanks for you help!

Great... let us know if you need anything else.

Hi, I'm having trouble viewing the dashboard when I have installed Fuel in a subdirectory as well. I have tried many combinations of the above, but here's what I have right now.

I have CodeIgniter installed in the subdirectory /CodeIgniter/ if that matters at all.

I have edited config.php to:

$config['index_page'] = "";

I have edited MY_Fuel.php to:

$config['admin_enabled'] = TRUE;

And my .htaccess reads:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteBase /fuel

And I ran the SQL query.

Thanks in advance for your help. I am excited to use your product!

What happens if you use the .htaccess file that came with the download and just change the RewriteBase on line 4 to the subdirectory you installed it in (e.g. RewriteBase /my_fuel_site/?

I'm assuming you've been able to use .htaccess before on CodeIgniter sites?

Quba

As you suggested, I changed my .htaccess file to:

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /fuel/


Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All


# Allow asset folders through
RewriteRule ^(fuel/modules/(.+)?/assets/(.+)) - [L]

# Protect application and system files from being viewed
RewriteRule ^(fuel/install/.+|fuel/crons/.+|fuel/data_backup/.+|fuel/codeigniter/.+|fuel/modules/.+|fuel/application/.+|\.git.+) - [F,L]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [L]

Options -Indexes

I get the "A database error has occurred" error.

I was able to get into the dashboard by changing my config.php file to:

$config['index_page'] = "index.php";

And my MY_fuel.php file to:

$config['fuel_path'] = 'fuel/';

And removing the RewriteBase line from my .htaccess file.

Thanks so much for your help! On a Sunday no less! I would love for the ugly index.php to be gone from my web structure, but I plan on getting a domain exclusively for my Fuel installation once I have it up and running.

admin

Is the database error because of the database.php config file not being setup? Also, the fuel_path configuration value most likely doesn't need to be changed unless you want to change the name of how you access fuel (e.g. "http://www.myfuelsite.com/admin" instead of "http://www.myfuelsite.com/fuel"). That value is not related to the subfolder you installed FUEL in on your server (in case that may have been changed and thus contributing to your issue).

Hi!

I'm trying to install fuel but it doesn't work for me.

i'm under macos x Lion.

Fuel folder under www/ is /fuel_cms/

I modified .htaccess like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /fuel_cms


Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All


# Allow asset folders through
RewriteRule ^(fuel/modules/(.+)?/assets/(.+)|fuel/crons/.+|fuel/data_backup/.+) - [L]

# Protect application and system files from being viewed
RewriteRule ^(fuel/install/.+|fuel/codeigniter/.+|fuel/modules/.+|fuel/application/.+|\.git.+) - [F,L]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [L]

Options -Indexes

I got a 404 not found blank page error.

If I modify $config['index_page'] with "index.php" I got a 404 error from fuel not blank like before, but no admin page.

I have mod_rewrite enabled and everything seems to be fine.

Have any idea ?

Thank you
Brice

Problem solved.
I had to put an alias in my http.conf !

Like this:
Alias /site_name/ /Users/brizoo/Sites/site_name/


DirectoryIndex index.php
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all


Thank you !

Great CMS, I love it

but using this way work good
http://babulhawaijmatamdari.com/admin/index.php/login/


so what we do ?????

admin

Is your RewriteBase in the .htaccess set to / ?

If so, make sure .htaccess and the mod_rewrite module is enabled for Apache on the server.

shani4870

i also use RewriteBase but not work for me

this is my .htaccess file on admin folder

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]


i have no access to check apache on server but administrator of server sad me its enable

admin

What if you remove the "?" from after .php:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
