Final step in Getting Started leads to 404

vleong2332 · February 2017

Hi,

I am trying to install Fuel CMS. I use PHP5 on Ubuntu 14.

I was following the steps 1, 2, and 3 in the Getting Started. Everything seems to be okay, but when it tells me to goto http://localhost/fuel, it redirects me to http://localhost/fuel/start and gives me a 404 error.

I already tried searching for solutions but had no success. I'm hoping somebody here can shed some light.

My /var/www/ is like this:
.

and my .htaccess is like this

Did you change the "admin_enabled" in the fuel/application/config/MY_fuel.php?

// whether the admin backend is enabled or not
$config['admin_enabled'] = TRUE;

vleong2332 · February 2017

Yes.

// In MY_fuel.php...
$config['admin_enabled'] = TRUE;
$config['fuel_mode'] = 'AUTO';

// In config.php
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';

phpinfo() says that mod_rewrite is loaded.

I switched the rewrite rule back to ...

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

... and tried going to localhost/index.php/fuel/. I got redirected to http://localhost:8080/fuel/login/5a6e566c62413d3d. But then, I tried in config.php...

// In config.php
$config['index_page'] = 'index.php?';

and when trying localhost/index.php/fuel, I got redirected to http://localhost:8080/index.php?/fuel/login/5a6e566c62413d3d and I see a login page.

However, going to localhost/fuel/start still gives me 404. This is my first time with Fuel CMS and CI so I'm not sure what just happened.

doing this...

// In config.php
$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';

gives the same result (seeing the login page), except that the redirected URL doesn't have the '?'.

This is my .htaccess for Ubuntu 14.04


Options +FollowSymLinks

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
#	RewriteBase /

	<Files .*>
		Order Deny,Allow
		Deny From All
	</Files>

	# 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/.+) - [F,L]


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

	RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [L]
#	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
	
	# Prevents access to dot files (.git, .htaccess) - security.
	RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
	RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f
	RewriteRule "(^|/)\." - [F]
	
</IfModule>
Options -Indexes

Is .htaccess control enabled for that folder?

Howdy, Stranger!
