URL Rewrite | Melvin - 404

Asked by Alex 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hi, I've installed Melvin on my sever:

melvin_quickstart_j4_v2.0.0
php 8.0 , Joomla 4.2
Renamed htaccess.txt to .htaccess and enabled "Use URL Rewriting"
OpenSpeedLite 1.7 | URL Rewrite will auto load from .htaccess

Now when I navigate in the front-end I get 404, how to fix this?
I also tried as below: Site Name in Page Titles = After | still 404

  • pages are working fine without "URL Rewriting"
  • see attached for more fun

Thanks

Hi Ofi

Thanks for your help
I've attached the credentials

Please let me know what exactly you did there.
This is a test site and I need to reinstall it in production -and fix the code myself the next time

I have renamed this file: templates/shaper_melvin/html/layouts/joomla/edit/frontediting_modules.php and thus seems to fix the error.

Please share your cPanel access to check the 404 issue.

I or the team will check the other issues soon.

Thanks Ofi but the problem of 404 is still there - this is the only problem on this ticket.
I renamed htaccess.txt to .htaccess and enabled URL Rewrite - same 404 error when I navigate the front-end.
Not sure what you mean by ".. and thus seems to fix the error." ? Which error have you fixed?

Sorry I can't share the credentials of my cPanel
Please fix and tell me what I need to change

Thanks

You had an error
0 array_replace(): Argument #1 ($array) must be of type array, string given

I have fixed it.

I would check these steps to fix 404 issue.

  1. Go to Global Configuration -> Site -> SEO and set Search Engine Friendly URLs -> Yes
  2. Then set Use URL Rewriting -> Yes and Site Name in Page Titles -> After
  3. Then go to your site folder and rename the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess

I have taken your site backup with Akeeba Backup and tried it on another server. After fresh installation, I have renamed htaccess.txt to .htaccess. It is working fine as expected. Please take the backup from your site -> Components -> Akeeba Backup -> Control Panel -> Manage Backups. Then install it fresh. Hopefully, the problem will be solved.

Hi Ofi

Thanks for your response
But Akeeba doesn't fix the issue ( I don't need it to backup my sites because I already have a backup utility on my server- and Akeeba is super-slow, not a great tool)

You may simply have Apache on your sever, that's why it's working, whereas I don't.

I use OpenSpeedLite, and that server is providing URL Rewrite
OSLite is compatible with Apache, but probably is not 100% compatible since Joomla redirects don't work.

Please close this ticket if you don't know how to fix URL Reqrite with OSLite

Thanks
