Mod Re-Wrirte?

It appears that ALL of my mods are looking for a folder/directory that doesn't exist! Example http://mysite.com/installation/m/videos/administration. I checked inside the server and there is no folder, "m" let alone "m/videos/administration". Was there a mod rewrite somewhere I missed? How can I correct this, as this is happening to ALL my mods?

Thank you

1) The .htaccess file that is included with dolphin must be uploaded. This file is quite often missed because on many operating systems it is a hidden file. The rewrites for URL's such as the ones with the m will not work without this file.

2) mod_rewrite has to be enabled on your Apache web server. Apache will not process the .htaccess files if the server does not have this installed and enabled.

3) If you have a dedicated server then you must also make sure the folder dolphin is installed in allows rewrites in the servers Apache configuration.

Chances are the problem is problem #1. It is the most common. The other two problems are server side and normally do not occur with most of the popular hosting providers unless you ordered a dedicated server without a common control panel such as cpanel or plesk. This issue is common on bare dedicated servers as they are not normally setup properly out of the box.

If what Deano pointed out about the .htaccess not being uploaded, then it could be the same for the other .htaccess files that should be uploaded when Dolphin is installed; these are used to prevent browsing of certain directories such as /cache.

For Nginx, you must load in the Dolphin rewrites for the server block of your site.

Problem corrected! It had nothing to do with MOD rewrite and everything to do with instatallation folder, being in a sub-directory. The software was looking for the root, and not the sub...so when clicking on menu item like blog it was looking for something that wasn't there. A fix but painful at that was to go into each block and rename the URL to the correct path, and VOILA all is good! Thank you!

We install into sub folders all the time.

You should not have had to do that much work.

You most likely are on a server that requires the base folder be added to the .htaccess file. If that was the case, things could have been fixed with the addition of just one line.

Whatever.

Make sure you check profiles to and make sure you can visit members profiles. Modules are not the only thing affected by rewrite problems.

For the record it was a bone head move on my part seeing how I haven't used an install script in forever, and I didn't put the correct root in the install. I just re-installed the correct way and all is nominal!
