Cannot login to test site

By JanusCoriolanus on 15 Aug 2006 at 11:43 UTC

I am considering to update my site to 4.7.3, but first I copied my files to my home computer following the instructions . However, I am using the login menu. When I try to login it says that "The requested URL drupal/login was not found on this server." but it works on my live site. I suppose there is something I have not considered. Apache perhaps?

Sure,

Sure, http://localhost/drupal/login

That wasn't quite what I

That wasn't quite what I meant! ;o)

Erm, the site that reports the 'missing' link - is it the new site or the old one?

Pobster

In the new site.

JanusCoriolanus commented 15 August 2006 at 12:26

In the new site.

Ah okay... Have you

pobster commented 15 August 2006 at 12:29

Ah okay... Have you remembered to put:

http://www.example.com/drupal

In your settings.php?

Pobster

Do you mean the base_url

JanusCoriolanus commented 15 August 2006 at 12:41

Do you mean the base_url variable? The main site does not have that set, but my test site still does not work when I add
$base_url = 'http://localhost/drupal';

Erm... Hmmm...

pobster commented 15 August 2006 at 12:47

Yep that was what I meant ;o)

Erm... Hmmm... This is possibly a stupid question, but... You have put the login menu code into the new sites user module as well? ...And enabled it?

I used the backup and

I used the backup and restore scripts to copy my site. The loginmenu.module is there. It is enabled in the main site, but since I cannot login to my test site I cannot verify it in there.

Now that I look at it, it

Now that I look at it, it seems that I get "not found" for all other pages except the frontpage. I don't think it is the database since the user, database and password are set in settings.php.

Okay... But always best to

Okay... But always best to check these things first ;o) Thing is, if it were an apache error then you'd get a proper 'page cannot be displayed' error - but the way you described it was like a Drupal admin-type error? It says to me that the menu_hook isn't being called? Either that or your permissions for the item are wrong.

Pobster

Hmmmm wait, I didn't read

pobster commented 15 August 2006 at 13:38

Hmmmm wait, I didn't read your reply properly... Are you getting an apache error? If so, have you defined <Directory> in your vhosts/ httpd.conf file?

Pobster

Yes, it an Apache error. In

JanusCoriolanus commented 15 August 2006 at 14:35

Yes, it an Apache error. I now added

<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/drupal>
    AllowOverride all
</Directory>

and now it works. Thanks for help!

Getting the same error on upgrade to 4.7.3

jfulton@drupal.org commented 19 August 2006 at 15:45

I can get the home page but can only access other pages directly by typing the url in as
http://domain/?q=pagename

All the links on my site are formed as
http://domain/pagename

so I get a Apache 404 for everything. I don't think this is vhosts issue for me. I'm on a box that I routinely set up new virtual hosts and do new installs of drupal on, I'm only getting the problem when copying over an old site and upgrading.

any ideas?
