First time installation of sitellite. On clicking the "Launch Sitellite" button at the end of the install, my browser attempts to open the file with a text editor. Then I tried the link
localhost/sitellite, and get a directory listing. This one: localhost/sitellite/sitellite outputted the following:

<?php

$prefix = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

$prefix = preg_replace ('|sitellite/?$|', '', $prefix);

header ('Location: ' . $prefix . 'index/cms-app');

?>

What could I do to fix this?

TIA

Hi, have you put the .htaccess file in the root directory, and do you have AllowOverride All in your httpd.conf?

It looks like your server is not recognizing the index page as php. There is a directive in the .htaccess to allow this. And the allowoverride directive in your httpd.conf ensures the .htaccess is being read.

Or are you on a windows machine?

Anyone out there still willing to take a crack at this? Every thing suggested has been set, but the issue has not been resolved.

All that has been done and apache restarted, but I still get the same output. During the install process, the "AcceptPathInfo" test failed and I was given the option to 'Retry" or "continue". "Retry" fails all the time, so I continued and the install completed. and the problem persists.

I'm running apache-2.0.54-r31 on a Gentoo Linux system

that will be your problem then. The

AcceptPathInfo On

directive is pretty crucial to Sitellite. In order for this to work, you need to have a directive in your apache configuration file that allows this.

So typically you would say something like this in your virtual site setup.

<Directory /bla/bla/bla/public_html />
AllowOverride FileInfo
</Directory>

There is more info about AcceptPathInfo at the url below -

This is the sixth cms app that I have evaluated in the past week and I have never had this issue come up in any of them.
A summary of what I have done so far:

* .htaccess was copied, without modificaton, to /var/www/localhost/htdocs
* the contents of sitellite* were copied to the same directory
* file permissions were modified per the install instructions

The installer spewed out an "AcceptPathInfo test failed" error, and I
had to modify httpd.conf. My changes to that file at various times are:

Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
/Directory>


#added for sitellite usage
Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/install/>
AcceptPathInfo On
/Directory>


Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/>
AcceptPathInfo On
Directory>

I also copied .htaccess from /var/www/localhost/htdocs to
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/install with no change in results:
The output is always:

<?php
$prefix = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$prefix = preg_replace ('|sitellite/?$|', '', $prefix);
header ('Location: ' . $prefix . 'index/cms-app');
?>

And there are no error messages iin error_log, except when I use Firefox in which case the error log reads:

[error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist:
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/favicon.ico


I know this error has nothig to do with sitellite cos using konqueror doesn't produce it.

Any additional input to help resolv this issue will be very much appreciated.

Do you have this in your httpd.conf

<Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs" >
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

IE, are you definitely allowing overrides in your web root directory? If so, and it is still not working then I have no easy answer.

I guess you might want to make sure that your .htaccess is readable by the webserver, and that it hasn't been corrupted in some way.

You might want to check that php is working at all, by changing the name of index to index.php and see what happens, or by running phpinfo() on a page.

Can't think of anything else. Maybe one of the gurus on here can. But this is very uncommon.

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs">
...

<VirtualHost example.com>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/htdocs
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    <Directory /var/www/example.com/htdocs>
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
