Hi,

this is a known issue and we're working on it. It only happens on some server configurations.

Hi Oliver,
could you post your server configuration?
We're investigating why in some circumstances mod_rewrite seems not to work as expected.

Hi,

I am having the same problem with the sitemap and also the news links.

I have just upgraded from 1.6 to 2.0.3 and everything seems to be working except for the mod rewrites for the sitemap and news sections.

I'm confused as to why it doesn't work as I've run a checker on the reg expressions and they seem to work as I would expect.

my site is here:
http://support.rfsolutions.co.uk/faq/

Is there a known fix for this problem?

The site is hosted on a 1&1 web server.

Hi,

which Apache do you use?

Thorsten

[m00ksta]

The version is Apache/1.3.33 (Unix)

You can see the full info file here, if it is of any help: php info

Hi,

is it possible to test Apache 2?

bye
Thorsten

[m00ksta]

I could install Apache 2 to test it, I'll give it a go when I've got some spare time.

Haven't you seen any other installations where this happens?

similar problem here too, just moved to a new webhost and carried out the upgrade to 2.0.4 at the same time. Sitemap gave a completely blank page and the rss feeds give an server error.

A quick fix work around for the sitemap problem can be done by changing the following in sitemap.php
find the following

Code: Select all

header('Location: http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));

comment it out and add the following line underneath

Code: Select all

header('Location: http://www.yoursite.com/faq/sitemap.php');

where yoursite.com is the url of your site and faq is the directoryname of your myfaq installation

Unfortunately as I am still in the process of moving files and document to the new webhost and getting all the scripts and programs functioning I haven't had time yet to work out why that particular line is causing a problem.
with regards to rss.php not sure why the following error is occuring yet as its lower down the list of items to fix at the moment

Error 500
Error message:
Premature end of script headers: rss.php

you can see the current myfaq here http://www.4x4uk.org/faq

I think this is a different problem as you are not using re writes.

I think I will just remove the link to the sitemap on my site as if it is an apache version problem I would need to change web server and it is not worth the hassle.

I would like to remove the news story links as well but I'm not sure which file would need editing, any one got any idea?

[4x4uk]

yeah to remove the news items you need to edit the index.tpl file

look for this

Code: Select all

 <!-- start right sidebar -->
        <div class="rightcolumn sidebar" id="sidebar-right">
            <div class="rightpadding">

            {rightBox}

            </div>
        </div>
        <!-- end right sidebar -->

removing

Code: Select all

{rightbox}

will eliminate the complete contents of the right sidebar but leave the container in place

if you just want to remove the rss link then edit startpage.tpl

the problem with rss.php not working was related to permissions

works fine when chmod to 644

I think you misunderstood me, I just wanted to remove the news, not the entire, right hand section.

I've just deleted the news from the administration page.
