The email field is not really email, it's the username I entered during installation!

Cannot log in the CMS

Ilya Kogan — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 06:28:22 +1300

I installed SS on Windows 7 along with all the prerequisites.
When I go to my website's URL, I get an email and password prompt, as in the attached picture.
What should I do there? Should I create a user? I'm pretty sure I've never entered any email address when installing SS, and even if I did, the email and password I would have used doesn't work.

Heho Sam

Don't know where it is in cPanel but... there is a demo for cPanel... and there in i've found it under "Logs" -> "Error Log"

To deploy a site you could also run to the install process first and then upload the files like templates & /mysite/code ect & import DB-dump. This way the setup and requirements should be oky.

Re: Memory Limit

SSadmin — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:02:48 +1300

Hey, guys.

I have exactly same problem with the memory_limit things for silverstripe.

This is what i have done :

tried added upgrade the memory_limit from 256M to 512M in _config.php (not working),

create the local php.ini try to overwrite the memory_limit (not working).

change the main.php in silverstripe (not working). still need to investigate.

However, Capt. Morgan's Geeky Friends solution did actually solve the problem by add another php.ini into sapphire folder.
Seems the sapphire core still reading the server configuration instead of the root php.ini.

So php.ini in root AND php.ini in sapphire fixed my problem. But it more sounds like a hack than a fix :S

Hope it helps.

Regards
alex

Hi Lukas,

Thanks very much for your reply. You are right it is the .htaccess file, somehow the RewriteBase path is pointing to the wrong one. Thanks for the direction.

For future reference, how/where can I access the servers log? cpanel somewhere?

Thanks a lot for you help.

IIS7.5 w/ URL Rewrite - Installer confirms requirements but URL Rewrite fails during install

weareorganism — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:38:47 +1300

Lots of posts on this but most seem to fix .htaccess issues so I felt obligated to add another

I'm bound to an IIS server with my client and have had the folks at Rack.io (the hosting provider) install the URL Rewrite module for IIS. The installation checks report that everything is good but during the installation progress I get the following:

Friendly URLs are not working. This is most likely because a rewrite module isn't configured correctly on your site. You may need to get your web host or server administrator to do this for you:
- mod_rewrite or other rewrite module is enabled on your web server
- AllowOverride All is set for the directory where SilverStripe is installed

Does "AllowOverride All" apply to IIS installs?

Can anyone suggest next steps for me to troubleshoot?

Thanks!
Peter

iPage.com error logging in after installation

jsaade — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:02:21 +1300

I have installed silverstripe on many hosts and usually it goes smoothly.
After finishing a new website for a client, I needed to move it to iPage.com (where his hosting is located).
Everything worked fine until silverstripe asked me to login (to delete the install.php file), and it refused to log me in whatever I use
I tried to install it 5 times so far, and it does not log me in.
it just refreshes and takes me back to the login page, no errors.
I tried putting Security::setDefaultAdmin('admin','admin');
and still the same problem, it just refreshes, no login.

I am trying to find anyone who has already used ipage, and might have faced problems with sessions? cookies maybe?
I checked php.ini and everything seemed fine.

Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi there,

This is my first site built in Silverstripe, I have been developing the site locally (localhost) which has been working well, today I'm trying to publish it to a subdomain eg subdomain.mainsite.com.

I just moved all the code and database online and made a connection between the two, I got a 500 Internal Server error when trying to view the site.

Is there any special steps I should follow to install/publish SS site online? Can someone please describe the steps and appoint me to the right direction to fix the problem?

Any help is appreciated!!

Thank you,

Update: Following a tweet in the right direction (@silverstripe), Matt from Stripe The Web (http://www.stripetheweb.co/) got in touch with me and has resolved the installation troubles I was having. For the record (and from what I understand), I wasn't being helped by a massively complicated _config.php file which he's now fixed up, along with a correctly configured .htaccess file.

(I haven't confirmed if the vhosts.comf file I created was correct, but the site is working, so I guess so!)

Matt's help was invaluable to resolving this, he was quick to understand the issue, and just as quick fixing it. If you're stuck with something, look him up.

Thanks also to Martimiz for your suggestion of the upgrade, I'm still looking at that, but with the site now working, it can go on the "nice to have" list. ;)

DanR — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:50:29 +1300

Hi Martimiz,
Many thanks for replying! Nothing physical went out the window - my sanity however is being sorely tested...

I've worked out some of the issues in that I was trying to run the site on a MediaTemple GS service, which doesn't allow access to httpd.conf to add the "AllowOverride All" rule. I'm not sure if this was a cause of the problem, but I'm happy now to at least be able to rule it out, just in case)

Consequently (and because I was probably due anyway), I've now upgraded to a DV service - which of course presents a couple new questions. If you or others can offer any insights, I'd be most appreciable, Apache configs are definitely not my strong point.

Q1. I've created a vhost.conf file in the path "/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/conf", to set the AllowOverride All at a domain level in the config, but would like to confirm it contains the right info:

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Is that correct?

Q2: Having now migrated the DB and site files as per other forum comments I've found, and taking your own comment in hand, can I (and if so how?) do an "in-place" upgrade to SilverStripe V2.4 without overwriting the site's content?

(I tried the XAMPP approach of clean installing 2.4 and then importing the DB and site files, and running the /dev/build?flush=1 command to rebuild but I get page load or require_once errors (specifically PHPUnit/Util/Report.php to which it says there's no such file or directory)

Again, any help offered is much appreciated.
Dan

Hi DanR,

Sorry I didn't see this one before now. Hope you haven't had to throw everything out of the window... Your problem almost certainly results from an old version of Silverstripe not being compatible with php 5.3...

There's a 2009 topic here http://www.silverstripe.org/installing-silverstripe/show/6502 that refers to this issue, but I don't think it has a simple answer. i seem to recall it being solved in later versions of 2.3, so you could try downloading the latest 2.3 CMS and Saphire modules from github - I saw 2.3 branches still being available: https://github.com/silverstripe

If all else fails, upgrading to 2.4 may be an option...

Hope this helps..

Have you tried changing you .htaccess file in the root of your site to
### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

<Files web.config>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Files>

ErrorDocument 404 /assets/error-404.html

<IfModule mod_alias.c>
RedirectMatch 403 /silverstripe-cache(/|$)
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

if your site is in the root directory leave the rewrite base, if in a sub directory ie yoursite.com/ss
change RewriteBase to RewriteBase/ss

You could try changin this -

Director::addRules(50, array(
   'processes//$Action/$ID/$Batch' => 'BatchProcess_Controller',
   'admin/help//$Action/$ID' => 'CMSHelp',
   'admin/bulkload//$Action/$ID/$OtherID' => 'BulkLoaderAdmin',
   'admin/cms//$Action/$ID/$OtherID' => 'CMSMain',
   'PageComment//$Action/$ID' => 'PageComment_Controller',
   'dev/buildcache/$Action' => 'RebuildStaticCacheTask',
));

TO This

Director::addRules(50, array(
   'processes//$Action/$ID/$Batch' => 'BatchProcess_Controller',
   'myadmin/help//$Action/$ID' => 'CMSHelp',
   'myadmin/bulkload//$Action/$ID/$OtherID' => 'BulkLoaderAdmin',
   'myadmin/cms//$Action/$ID/$OtherID' => 'CMSMain',
   'PageComment//$Action/$ID' => 'PageComment_Controller',
   'dev/buildcache/$Action' => 'RebuildStaticCacheTask',
));

And the new admin would be "myadmin"

Include the rewrite base after rewrite engine

like this

<Files *.ss>
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

<Files web.config>
Order deny,allow

ErrorDocument 404 /assets/error-404.html

<IfModule mod_alias.c>
RedirectMatch 403 /silverstripe-cache(/|$)

   SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On

   RewriteBase /

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

if your site is in a sub domain the rewrite would be something like this RewriteBase/Mysite

If its in the root/Public_html then Leave the rewrite base as it is

DanR — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:53:16 +1300

Hi there,
Hoping someone can help as I've spent an unhealthy amount of time now trying to get SilverStripe to work. This is the first time I've touched a SilverStripe site, so while I'm not a noob to the dev world, a level of understanding would be appreciated!

I'm trying to migrate a SilverStripe site from a web developer's inhouse server to MediaTemple. The outgoing server is running PHP 5.1.6, while the MT server is running PHP 5.3.8, and the SilverStripe version is 2.3.0. (I'm really hoping it's not the versions that are causing these issues!)

So I've imported the dumped DB and copied across the httpdocs folder to the new host. Set up the DB connection strings, thinking I'm good to go.

Get a 403 Forbidden message, and its off to the trusty forums! Cross check perms with (still live) site, all good. Find a post that talks about rewrites and references '/rewritetest.php', so I run that, and get the (apparently infamous)

mod_rewrite is enabled in your httpd.conf
AllowOverride is enabled for the current path.

I run a phpinfo on both the outgoing server (yup, it's enabled) and the new one (uh-oh, hold the phone), so start researching this one through the forums and come upon people talking about the .htaccess mods. So I put those in:

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif)|(\.jpg)|(\.png)|(\.css)|(\.js)|(\.php)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
Options FollowSymLinks
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

and now I'm the closest I've been in roughly 17 hours of working on this (tried to install on XAMPP to test the process first, silly idea that), and now have the site loading, albeit with a page of errors above telling me things like:

Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /...../html/sapphire/core/ManifestBuilder.php on line 257

and

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/..../html/.htaccess/_config.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/nfs:/tmp:/usr/local:/etc/apache2/gs-bin) in /..../html/sapphire/core/i18n.php on line 1074

and

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/..../html/favicon.ico/_config.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/nfs:/tmp:/usr/local:/etc/apache2/gs-bin) in /..../html/sapphire/core/i18n.php on line 1074

(Note: those are my ellipses inserted in the path for security reasons)

So my question is, what the hell do I do now? I'm supposed to be making this site live in a few hours time, and I'm reasonably close to throwing things out of windows...

Many thanks!

403 after installation

Hej,

really sorry to bother you with a most probably very frequent question, I am still hung with it. Upon trying to install silverstripe on an apache server, I get 403 forbidden when trying to call setup. The ss directory in not root, so I followed this:

http://www.silverstripe.org/installing-silverstripe/show/12328#post283997

I tried to chmod everything (the complete ss directory incl. subdirectories) to 777 (just for testing), no difference.

Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal were installed without any issue (for testing purposes). ModX also failed with 403.

thank you for hints

Hello,

I'm trying to get SS going on my MAMP setup (2.0) . I keep getting a "Connection Reset" error when I try to go to the index page of my SS site in Firefox. In Chrome I get a "No Data" message. If I go into my _confg.php file in /main of my SS project and remove my testing url from the db switch statement (that connects to the appropriate db for me) I can get the login page to show me the error message No DB selected for hostname. So, I can't tell if my problem is from MAMP or from silverstripe. Has anybody else run into an error like this? Also, in the apache error logs I'm getting stuff like this.

Installing on IIS 2003 with Helicon Ape

grteytail — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 07:51:12 +1300

Hi:
I have installed everything include a demo version of Helicon Ape and I believe I have configured it correctly for this site. However, during the final steps of the installation, I got a message to the effect that SS couldn't determine how to re-write files. Before finishing the install, I gave full rewrite permissions to the ISUR, then tightened them up again. I understand I should give write permissions to "assets." I will do so when I have heard back from you.

I am getting error on this page....it can't find the Css files, but then it can in a second attempt. The app is very sluggish. I have removed the install.php as per the instructions. Please can you check my installation:

http://vacationrentals.scenesofvermont.com/silverstripe-v2.4.6/

There are three errors on this page....?

Is my helicon ape running correctly?

Thanks Sticks (and thanks for not taking offence to my first post, it's always appreciated when someone helps out and your solution in your first post may have worked out of the box for Bernie)... that seems more thorough than other .htaccess "solutions" I came across that didn't work for me because of my other subdirectories that point to subdomains (they stopped working when the SilverStripe subdirectory started working)...

Should get a chance to test this later...

You could try creating a .htaccess file in your www directory and using mod_rewrite to direct requests to the SilverStripe folder. You might also need to edit the .htaccess file in the SilverStripe directory to make sure it keeps the '/silverstripe' out of the address bar.

This should help get you started: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/990392/htaccess-rewrite-to-redirect-root-url-to-subdirectory

The only Silverstripe related thing I can think of would be to ensure that the following is in your mysite/_config.php.

SiteTree::enable_nested_urls();

Beyond that, it's really an Apache/MAMP issue so you may have some luck in the MAMP forum if you can't solve it now.

I'd temporarily eliminate Silverstripe from the equation and confirm that mod_rewrite is enabled and functioning correctly.
I'm not sure exactly how MAMP Pro does it, but the Apache configuration for MAMP is in /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache. The main configuration file is httpd.conf. Remember to restart the web server to load in any config changes.

You need to confirm that there is a line like this in httpd.conf.

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

You could also run the following in the terminal

/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/httpd -M | grep rewrite

This should return

Syntax OK
rewrite_module (shared)

From memory MAMP Pro has a slightly funky way of setting up virtual hosts. Perhaps you could create a new virtual host without silverstripe and check the most basic mod_rewrite test you can create.

Another tool in your toolbox would be to log mod_rewrites activity by adding the following to httpd.conf (and restarting server)

RewriteLog /Applications/MAMP/logs/rewrite_log
RewriteLogLevel 1 #(Could be higher but this should be enough for now)

Look through your apache logs in /Applications/MAMP/logs and see if there are any clues there.

Good luck.

to use heidisql do I need to download and install Wine on my Linux server first?

Thanks again Swaiba. I went back to cPanel and realised I had missed a step in assigning the username to the db. All good now!

silverstripe clean URL on mamp

bunheng — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 23:22:49 +1300

Hi All,

I am having trouble running silverstripe on Mac OS using MAMP pro, I have been trying 3 hours to solve but impossible, every time I browse the site it ways appear with index.php/something in url, i thought it was from mod_rewrite but I could find where to fix it even in httpd.conf as well. The site and .httaccess working fine in XAMPP window environment. I really appreciated if you could point me where to fix it.

Regards,
Bunheng

You don't need to change the install.php file. A database connection consists of user, pass, db and server - can you check this all works by using something like http://www.heidisql.com/download.php on your local host. and then if it doesn't contact the support department for your host to get it working.

If you can connect but still see the error then I am stumped.

I have a phpinfo() file at flyingmonkey.net.au/info.php
PHP = 5.2.17
MySQL = 5.0.92

Do I need to change permissions somewhere? Change the install.php file?

Help...

I can't create new databases... ERROR

flyingmonkeyman — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 22:06:13 +1300

Hi. I can't get past the first install page. I have ftp-ed SS to the root of my domain, created a MySQL Database and User using Cpanel and am stonewalled by this error: "I can't create new databases and the database 'flyingne_ss01' doesn't exist. Please create the database manually."

I have attached a screenshot of the cPanel MySQL page so you can see that the database really is there and not misspelled.

Am I missing something obvious?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: [RESOLVED] site keeps trying to send me to install.php

Ah, it looks like .htaccess got corrupted. Now the site works but I need to get the pretty URLs back.

update: Thought it was mod_rewrite, then found it was both installed and working, so I ended up just reinstalling silverstripe. CArgo cult tech support, that's me....

[RESOLVED] site keeps trying to send me to install.php

johnofjack — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 06:28:50 +1300

After moving my site off my computer to the server, I found that it worked for awhile and then started trying to send all requests to install.php .

I couldn't find the cause right off so just added a 301 redirect from install.php to index.php. It's a kludge.

Any idea what setting where is making it do this, and how to stop it?

Thanks--

Re: Enabling mod_rewrite

Issue is with index.php
There is a line where a string comparison is done without taking into account of the different separators for windows and linux.
Change the following line
$fileURL = (dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])=='/'?'':dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/' . $url;
to
$fileURL = (dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])==DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR?'':dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/' . $url;
and that should solve your problem.
