Trying To Test Blesta Installation Problem

[Chris1669]

Hi

 

Wanted to give Blesta a try but things are not starting right, installation is not working, get the following error:

 

==================================================================================================

 

Mod rewrite is not enabled, or htaccess is not supported by this server. You must disable pretty URL support in Blesta by removing the .htaccess file.

 

==================================================================================================

 

Yes I have pointed my browser to the install.php

 

Can any one guide me in the right direction ?

 

Thank you.

Are you the owner of the server? php mod_rewrite needs to be installed, or the conf file on the server needs to be edited to allowoverwrite: all or something down them lines..

 

May we know your:

- Operating system

- Control panel:

- Blesta version:

Hi CubicWebs

 

Thank you for the quick reply, no I am not the owner of the server, I have requested information on:

 

"php mod_rewrite needs to be installed, or the conf file to be edited to allowoverwrite"

 

Here is information on:

 

- Operating system CentOS 5

- Control panel: Cpanel

- Blesta version: 3.0.6

 

Will keep this updated once I get more info.

Then i guess you have to contact your hosting provider to further investigate with this . Did you create a support ticket with them ?

I would try this:

You must disable pretty URL support in Blesta by removing the .htaccess file

 

Remove the .htaccess file in the root of your Blesta install.

I have managed to solve the problem, @ 101101101 thank you for you response that was not the solution but provided me the idea on how to solve the problem.

 

Ok so the problem was that I uncompressed the blesta program at public_html and all files where placed at public_html why ? simple because the folder says public_html, would be a great idea to rename this folder to something else as this causes confusion.

 

So the htaccess from blesta was some how conflicting with my htaccess file as they both where on public_html. 

 

How was this solved ? I deleted all the files and folders in public_html and extracted the blesta program again and renamed the folder that did the trick.

 

Hope this helps some one in the near future, it would be great to change the folder name and specify what I mentioned above.

 

Thank you all !

Oh I normally move the files from the Blesta public_html to the main public_html.

[Chris1669]

Yes CubicWebs thats what I did at first but had the problem mentioned before, so needed to work my way around and it worked.

 

Thnx for the help.

We've been strongly considering this.

We've been strongly considering this.

Please do it asap . Even i was facing the same issue.I managed to solve it by moving it to public_html/billing . If you want me to run any commands on my server to resolve it, do let me know

I think it's down to common sense, VBulletin and Xenforo call their folders upload. Blesta has public_html, it's just a folder name. You move the files out of the folder if your using it in folder you unzip'ed it in.

That and public_html is standard naming convention for web root. I think it makes more sense the way it is personally.
