Not able to login into chat

[ankur_sisoli]

I have installed phpfree chat at http://www.ankurgupta.net/phpfreechat/

It was working fine earlier, but since last few days it's not allowing to login into chat.

Hi,

What does your error log say when you load the chat?

There is no error log.

mod_rewrite seems to be disabled. Try to enable it.

[ankur_sisoli]

My hosting provider told me that mod_rewrite is enabled by default. I tried installing phpfreechat to different location on same server(http://www.ankurgupta.net/phpfreechatv2/chat/). But the same issue is still there. Seems to be some problem with server setting.

[ankur_sisoli]

My hosting provider told me that login into chat is successful after disabling root level .htaccess

This is the content of .htaccess

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Please tell me what modification I need in this.

[ankur_sisoli]

I found the solution. The issue was with RewriteBase setting.
I updated it to:
RewriteBase /phpfreechat/server/

Now it's working fine.

Thanks for sharing. I'll add a warning in phpfreechat errors if the routes cannot be loaded.

Look at your URL path :
/phpfreechat-2.1.0/examples/refresh_delay.html

So your RewriteBase should not be /phpfreechat/server/ but /phpfreechat-2.1.0/server/

That's right, and I've already tried this, but issue remains anyway
Some other tip?

This URL should return a small JSON structure:
http://boabusca.xp3.biz/phpfreechat-2.1.0/server/status
It redirects to a 404 page...

It's not normal.
Could you have a look to your web server error logs ?

Could you give me SSH/SFTP/FTP access to your server to look at the problem ?

[Goulart]

Sent you the login's info through PM.

Thank you, man.

Thank you, I looked at your server but I don't find any workaround. It seams that rewrite rules are not working correctly.

Could you tell me where I can see your server logs ? Maybe it could help to understand the behaviour.

edit: take that back - I now experience the same situation. Thought it would be permission, but when I tried to access my site/phpfreechat/server; I get an 404.

I notice that I wasn't able to create folder or files after enable mod_rewritting. Something is odd; it could be many reason behind linux that I'm not aware of.

[EDIT:]
Fixed...

Here's the steps to solve the issue if you already have mod_rewrite enabled:

Assuming you have ubuntu/linux related (Open Terminal and TYPE):

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default


Look for this line:

Code: Select all

        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
                # Uncomment this directive is you want to see apache2's
                # default start page (in /apache2-default) when you go to /
                #RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
        </Directory>


Change:

Code: Select all

AllowOverride None


to:

Code: Select all

AllowOverride All


Save and Exit by pressing Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X.

then back to terminal and type:

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload


Then you're good to go.
