Hello,
I'm using PunBB from 14 years and I'm very happy with it. Now my hosting company Webfaction terminates work and I'm moving on another hosting. However, I cannot set the forum properly.
The problem is that when I'm trying to log in, it redirects to https://hostanme/login but the actual rout must be https://hostname/forum/login. It is PunBB 1.4.5
I suppose that the problem comes from the way I set virtual hosts.
Nginx proxy:
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name example.com;
index index.html;
root /my/web/dir;
location /forum/ {
rewrite ^/forum/(.*) /$1 break;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6666;
}
}
Apache virtual host:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:6666>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /my/web/dir/forum
<Directory /my/web/dir/forum>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . rewrite.php [L]
</IfModule>
config.php
$base_url = 'https://example.com/forum';
This was the only way I succeed at least to show the forum. However, the login and probably other stuff doesn't work.
When I try to log in, the "Confirm action" appears with wrong links in the form.
<form method="post" action="https://example.com/login/">
<div class="hidden">
<input type="hidden" name="prev_url" value="https://example.com/login/">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_url" value="https://example.com/">
...
</div>
...
</form>
The correct links are _https://example.com/forum/login
Please help me to solve the problem or to make virtual hosting in a better way.
On the old hosting, the .htaccess has `RewriteBase /forum`, however with it, the forum doesn't work here.
If I remove `rewrite ^/forum/(.*) /$1 break;`, it gives "Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error."
