Hi all,
Here are some problems I've been having since the installation. I appreciate any comments..
I just installed phpMyFaq on Apache 2.x server, running with MySQL Server 5.0 and Php 4.
- When I activate mod_rewrite support, all the links get broken. I changed the RewriteBase from /phpmyfaq/ to /faq/ which is the actual path on the server. Did not help.
- I am able to add sub-categories under main categories using the admin page. However, the sub-categories do not display on the main page - neither on the left menu, nor when clicked on a main category.
- I can add users but not groups. There is no control on the admin page about 'user groups'.
Thanks in advance for your kind assistance,
Onur

Hi,

Thorsten
did you renamed _.htaccess to .htaccess?- When I activate mod_rewrite support, all the links get broken. I changed the RewriteBase from /phpmyfaq/ to /faq/ which is the actual path on the server. Did not help.
how did you configured the permissions?- I am able to add sub-categories under main categories using the admin page. However, the sub-categories do not display on the main page - neither on the left menu, nor when clicked on a main category.
Change the permission level to "medium".- I can add users but not groups. There is no control on the admin page about 'user groups'.

Thorsten,
Appreciate your patience, dealing with rookies like me
Changing the permission from "basic" to "medium" made it possible for "user groups" to function. However, "subcategories" problem still exists. SHould I change the permissions level to "high" or do you have another suggestion?

mod_rewrite
To fix the broken links go into your .htaccess file
Around the 15th line you will see
Most likely you will want to change your Rewrite base to
/faq/
Or whatever directory you have set your initial faq file to.
Hope this helps

Code: Select all
# the path to your phpMyFAQ installation

Hi,
Thanks for this awesome software and the excellent support and docs site. I ran into the same issue when enabling mod_rewrite and though I found the answer right here in the forums within minutes, just thought it might help other new users if you added this advice to the Documentation on the main site.
On page http://www.phpmyfaq.de/dokumentation.2.0.en.php#2h in the 2.h. Enabling mod_rewrite support section, add the advice:
Set Base Directory Path
If you've installed phpMyFAQ in the directory /phpmyfaq/ then you're good to go, otherwise, in line 31 of the .htaccess file, change the code:
to point to the folder where your phpMyFAQ is installed, i.e.
Hope this helps others just a bit and thanks again to the developers!
Cheers, Dan
