Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

Sorry guys our site just transfered servers and apparently we use a back-up copy from the previous day to do the transfer.  I will try to get the sample board up when my e-mail, FTP, and SQL rights are restored.

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

I have a latest revision public install of Pun1.3, but the rewriting-url part doesn't work for most of the things yet, so it's not usable. If you really want to, you can check it out: http://pun13.dorem.info

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

What rewriting doesn't work?

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

Well, check it for yourself on the URL above smile . The most obvious is the login, but other too (most of the 2nd level admin, so that without editing the database I can't turn clean url off; the /post/ one, etc.).

I don't know if it's the rewrite rule per se, how the rewrite rule are interpreted on my server, if it's on the php frontend, backend, etc. Without a bugtrack, I won't test too deep.

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

looks to me like you're missing some rewrite rules.

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

Nope, some things don't work on the PHP side. Maybe it's this, maybe something else. But the rules are here.

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

you have a rewrite rule something like this?

RewriteRule ^login$ /login.php [L]
RewriteRule ^register$ /register.php [L]
RewriteRule ^search$ /search.php [L]

as well as any others?  I'm not registered so I dont get any others, but /login.php, and /register.php work, so it seems to me like the rewrite rules are wrong or missing.

EDIT:  it seems like adding / to the end messes it up... make sure your rewrite rules have /?$ at the end of the pattern instead of /$ or $ like:


RewriteRule ^login/?$ /login.php [L]
RewriteRule ^register/?$ /register.php [L]
RewriteRule ^search/?(.*)$ /search.php$1 [L]

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

You don't have the same setup as TextDrive do you, they require an addition to the rewrite rules.

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

Yup, of course I have these smile

But as I said, I won't test several things without an assurance that the dev listen and answer (would it be as a Track bugtracker, a dedicated forum, anything). No point of testing and debugging without discussion and visibility (I've done it with Textpattern, I've seen what that lead to).

Nope it's an shared OVH host, not a TXD one. If needed I will test a TXD one, but I'm not using it anymore.

There's maybe a small specific OVH setting for rewrite (adding a slash before the target of the rule, as in /login.php and not login.php) but I've tested with it too. And yup, any other software rewrite rules I tried worked on these area (Textpattern, Mediawiki, etc.).

It's probably either something missing on the PHP end, or a greedy parameter misunderstood by my Apache (1.3.x) as it was before.

http://pun13.dorem.info/register
It doesn't work with a trailing slash on your forum for some reason

Any idea why ?s seem to fail in Apache 1.3?

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

I'm pretty sure the second parameter (resource being re-written to) needs to be rooted. 

RewriteRule ^index.html$ / [L]

works on my server where as

RewriteRule ^index.html$ index.php [L]

does not


assuming this is because / is present at the end of the request, and since the file is relative, the server's assuming we're in /login/ instead of /.

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

MadHatter: I think you're on to something
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Rewrite_ … ccess_file
http://dev.textpattern.com/browser/rele … /.htaccess

Either through a RewriteBase or by tweaking the individual rules (I think a RewriteBase would be better here), it looks like the base directory relative to the root of the website needs to be set.

Jérémie: Try adding this line at the beginning of the .htaccess file
RewriteBase /

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

Already tested Smartys, no effect. Same for MadH, I tested RewriteRule ^login/?$ /login.php [L,NC] and it's the same error.

/login.html works too by the way, it's just this final / Apache thinks it's a subdirectory and search for a file there.

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

That seems like a pretty serious "bug": I'm surprised I haven't seen it documented anywhere hmm

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

setting rewrite base works on my server (not testing 1.3 but just in general)...

It may not be an Apache, mod_ort or host bug. I just checked and Wordpress Mu for example has extensive use of domain.tld/string/ URI (rewritten of course), and it works perfectly on my host. Meaning, the issue is not per se the final slash.

So there's probably something about the Pun1.3 rewrite rule, or the PHP handler behind.

Here's the Mu rewrite rules:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Re: Sample PunBB 1.3 Board

I must say that I am very pleased with the upcoming version of PunBB. I hadn't actually seen it until now, because I haven't had the time to download/install it for testing personally. I'm going to download the latest SVN, and play with it.

I'm anticipating the new release even more now, great job PunBB Team!
