Two RN2.10.01 websites. Error HTTP/1.1 404 Object Not Found

Worker Joined: May 26, 2006 Posts: 153

I have got two RN2.10.01 websites set up. One is in the root directory and is working Ok with minor bugs.

The other I have set up in a sub-directory and set a pointer to it in my hosting panel.

When I enter the url www.brzjc.co.uk it opens up the site and all seems Ok. If I try to go to www.brzjc.co.uk/admin.php or index.php I get the following error HTTP/1.1 404 Object Not Found.

If I try to click on the new user activation link in an email i get the same error. I can only get into the admin.php screen if I type the full path to the sub-directory.

Any pointers would be helpful.

Do a test: rename the .htaccess file in your root directory and try again. I think you may need to fully qualify the admin authentication if you're using nuke in 2 places on the same account.

I assume you mean the .htaccess file in the root of the main folder or website, in this case the www.zenjudo.co.uk site. Not the one in the sub-directory for www.brzjc.co.uk

What ever I do I want to have both sites working correctly at the end. Would this mean that I will loose all the banned IP's from the root site's .htaccess file or could I copy them back in again afterwards. Also both sites have short links turned on in the .htaccess files, should I keep these in the new .htaccess file.

Sorry still learning with php.

Yes, rename the one in the main folder. I think that it what is interfering. You should be able to restore it without losing any of the banned IPs, etc., but you may need to fully qualify the admin file in the htaccess files for both the main folder and subdirectory.

I have also had cases where I have had to rename my admin.php script (don't forget to change config.php to match) on the lower directory version of nuke to keep the top-level Files check in .htaccess from conflicting.

But, I like your idea better kguske in trying first to see if you can fully qualify the Files directive for admin.php in each .htaccess. I never played around with that.

Just to be clear before I cause more problems, what exactly do you mean by "fully qualify".

edited:- I have been trying to find out more information on this on the internet, with mixed success. As far as i can tell I need some sort of re-write rule in each .htaccess file to point to the correct admin.php file depending on which domain is beeing used ie. zenjudo.co.uk to the admin.php file in the root directory and for brzjc.co.uk the admin.php in the /brzjcphp directory.

Problem is I'm not sure what needs to be entered as i can't get my head around how re-write works.

I have tried renaming the admin.php in one site to admin1.php and changing the setting in config.php but same problem. I assume you can't add a url to the admin setting in config.php to point at the correct directory/file.

Could the short-Links On be causing the problems, as when I edit a page in admin via the xxx/xxxx/admin.php directory root, all looks ok in the editor, but when I log out and return to the website using www.brzjc.co.uk the photos and links are all broken. Until I can get into admin.php directly from the www.brzjc.co.uk website, I will have problems.

Ok after looking through every setting and config file in both directories and making changes to the 404 error page to see if I could find out what was generating it, RavenNuke, NukeSentinel or the server (without success).

I finally managed to fix the problem by changing the website URL in the RavenNuke preferences. I had used the main domain name www.xxxx.co.uk as the website url in the preferences.

So if the Domain is www.xxxx.co.uk
and that points to my webhost at
www.ssss.xxxx.co.uk
and in my C-Panel set up any traffic is directed to
www.ssss.xxxx.co.uk
and is sent to the subdirectory the RavenNuke is installed in.
