Where is the /Join/ folder

[armaclans]

What do I need to install or why is it that, when I click sign up. I get a 404 saying my the join folder cannot be found

You should check your plugin - Clean URLs.

Also into your admin ---> Settings ---> Other Settings ---> Enable Clean Url's

 

[Basti]

Right if your hosting wont allow apaches mod_rewrite ( via the .htaccess file in topsite root ), then you need to disable clean url as cajkan mentioned above

 

[armaclans]

Well I tried enabling the urls, and disabling them. Both did not work. It wants to go to a /join/ folder in the directory but there isn't one?

 

[armaclans]

Wow, none of them work, I will contact my hosting and allow them to change apaches mod_rewrite. but now my links are messed up. I have no idea what the basic links are

 

[cajkan]

You can see some links in here:

[armaclans]

So my hosting does allow the mod_rewrite, I just need to set it up? how?

 

[armaclans]

Alright I got it set up it was

RewriteEngine On

so i did that, and enabled clean urls. it still is not working. i get 404 pages when trying to go to the clean version of the url

ask your host, we dont have access to your site, error logs, or anything else to help you troubleshoot.

This feature is working just fine on hundreds of lists. Something in your hosting environment is the problem.

 

[armaclans]

I am pretty sure it is something i have to enable in the htaccess, but i don't know what code i need.

 

[Mark]

Yup ask your host

 

[armaclans]

Alright, Let me get this straight for you guys.

Hosting Provider - Bluehost.com Does not support any .htaccess coding

I have the command: RewriteEngine On

It does not seem to solve the problem
When I look at my domain on pages they are: http://armaclans.com/?a=join when i enable the Simple URLs. it says to allow mod_redirect and converts the urls to http://armaclans.com/join/ giving me a 404 page.

What else do I need to add into the htaccess file?


add: After going through support, They were able to tell me that mod_rewrite is enabled.. but that's all

 

[armaclans]

After Dinking Around:

RewriteEngine On 
 
 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?a=$0 [L]

This will allow me to go to http://armaclans.com/join but if i try to go to http://armaclans.com/join/ it doesnt work

This does not solve the solution for custom pages,

If I try to go to http://armaclans.com/page/news/ it doesnt work.

 

[Basti]

Ehm what is your htaccess now? the urls not working with ending trailing slash is because you seem to have overwrote something

this destroyed most of the rewrite rules
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?a=$0 [L]

Have a look at the original htaccess

RewriteEngine on
 
################ Require ending trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
 
################ Beautify dynamic url sets
#here are our rewrite rules for the different urls

 

[armaclans]

When I enabled simple urls, my htaccess remained empty... I just tried your code, it did not work either


Is there more to your code?



Finally After doing some digging:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
 
################ Require ending trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
 
################ Beautify dynamic url sets
RewriteRule ^join/ index.php?a=join [L]
RewriteRule ^user_cpl/ index.php?a=user_cpl [L]
RewriteRule ^stats/(.*)/ index.php?a=stats&u=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^stats/ index.php?a=stats [L]
RewriteRule ^lost_pw/ index.php?a=lost_pw [L]
RewriteRule ^review/(.*)/ index.php?a=rate&u=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^reviews/(.*)/ index.php?a=stats&u=$1&all_reviews=1 [L]
 
RewriteRule ^category/(.*)/ index.php?cat=$1 [L]
 
RewriteRule ^rank/(.*)/(.*)/category/(.*)/ index.php?start=$1&method=$2&cat=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^rank/(.*)/category/(.*)/ index.php?method=$1&cat=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^rank/(.*)/(.*)/ index.php?start=$1&method=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^rank/(.*)/ index.php?method=$1 [L]
 
RewriteRule ^search/(.*)/(.*)/ index.php?a=search&start=$1&q=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^search/(.*)/ index.php?a=search&q=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^search/ index.php?a=search [L]
 
RewriteRule ^page/(.*)/ index.php?a=page&id=$1 [L]
 
################ Beautify Mod urls
RewriteRule ^app/(.*)/ index.php?app=$1 [L]

That Fixed the problem!!! WooHOO!

Fwiw I have installed on blue host several times without any issue at all, the default .htaccess always worked

Glad you got it sorted

 

[armaclans]

I have another issue now, i get 404 pages on this http://armaclans.com/details/rush2battle/ that is the link when you click on stats from the ranking page

 

[armaclans]

I am looking at the htaccess, it does not look like there is a Rewrite rule for the viewing of member stats.. or "profile"

 

[Mark]

yes, you are missing lines that are included by default. I can only assume you removed them.

please look at the original .htaccess that was included with your download and make sure you have all the rules.

here is a sample of what you have removed:

RewriteRule ^stats/(.*)/ index.php?a=stats&u=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^stats/ index.php?a=stats [L]
RewriteRule ^details/(.*)/ index.php?a=details&u=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^overall-stats/ index.php?a=details [L]

but from looking at your .htaccess it looks like some of your rules are from VERY old versions.
