My Flarum forum gives "The requested resource was not found." error.

Mexy

My Flarum forum gives a error when I'm a creating a discussion called "The requested resource was not found." I looked to cPanel error logs and Google Chrome console for about this error.

Google Chrome Console:

cPanel Error Logs:

2023-04-16 22:54:35.338881 [INFO] [4129946] [T0] [176.232.180.95:7407-H3:655B96E84C4BF50D-20#APVH_forum.talebegezegeni.net:443] File not found [/home/forumtal1/public_html/service_worker.js] (When I get the same error, this log always comes up.)

Can you help quickly? I'm searching this error's solution since morning. (For Turkey clock) Also, this is my project homework. So, I must be quickly.

Sorry if I have grammar mistake. Because I'm learning English currently, so I don't know English completely.

Did it work previously, did the problem appear after a specific change or action?

I see a public folder in your request URL. Is this intentional? The public folder should not be visible, it should be set as the public webroot or removed using https://docs.flarum.org/install#customizing-paths

Whether intentional or not, check that the correct public-facing URL is set in config.php and that Apache rewrites are enabled (if using Apache) or that the nginx configuration is updated according to the documentation.

clarkwinkelmann I didn't understand your sentences. I always setup the Flarum to public folder and Flarum always runs at public folder. I didn't see this error when I'm creating a discussion. This is a new error type. I saw this error only when I'm creating private discussion with FoF Byobu.

Mexy can you share your config.php content? Without the database password.

You could also take a look at the network tab in the developer tools of the browser to see the HTTP method and the payload that results in that 404 error. If you enable debug mode in config.php and try again there should be a difference between 404 "route not found" exceptions and other 404 errors in the JSON response.

clarkwinkelmann config.php:

<?php return array (
  'debug' => false,
  'database' => 
  array (
    'driver' => 'mysql',
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'port' => 3306,
    'database' => 'forumtal1_flarum',
    'username' => 'forumtal1_flarum',
    'password' => '####,
    'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
    'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
    'prefix' => 'flgi_',
    'strict' => false,
    'engine' => 'InnoDB',
    'prefix_indexes' => true,
  ),
  'url' => 'https://forum.talebegezegeni.net',
  'paths' => 
  array (
    'api' => 'api',
    'admin' => 'admin',
  ),
  'headers' => 
  array (
    'poweredByHeader' => true,
    'referrerPolicy' => 'same-origin',
  ),
);

I censored database password with ####.

Mexy does the error message in the browser console still mention /public/api/discussions ? Since public is not in your config.php, maybe you have left over redirects in the Apache/nginx configuration or maybe the browser has cached an old HTTP redirect.

Can you try in private browsing or with a different browser or device?

Mexy

clarkwinkelmann Google Chrome uses cache. So, I visit my forum and I looked up to console. This is console's screenshot. (Microsoft Edge's Console)

Also, I visited my forum with different devices and browsers, but I'm taking this error currently.

Mexy does an error appear if you try to create a discussion on that browser?

Mexy

clarkwinkelmann Yes.

clarkwinkelmann

Mexy do you have a screenshot of the error? To see whether it still contains the /public part.

The yellow message is just a warning and probably unrelated to the error.

Mexy

clarkwinkelmann Hello again. I differenced it still mention /public/api/discussions. This video is recorded when I get the error.

Mexy

@clarkwinkelmann Are you here?

Mexy I'm really not sure what it could be.

I notice there's a little orange icon with 2 arrows next to the URL in the error message, but I don't know its meaning. Could it mean that an HTTP redirect was performed during that request? There might be more information visible in the Network tab of the browser tools.

I don't see the public part in the error message in the video, however I see your browser tried to auto-complete the forum URL with /public, so I assume you must have changed the URL after installation? If the problem happens with multiple browsers it might not be a browser cache issue, but maybe there are still redirects setup incorrectly on the webserver itself?

If nothing helps and seeing you don't have a lot of content in the forum, you could try performing a full re-installation (make a backup first so you don't loose any of your work!). Delete the virtual host in your server configuration, delete the Flarum folder, clear your browser cache for the domain and start over. Make sure to setup the correct URL before following the Flarum wizard.

After performing a full re-installation if it works you could then swap the database with a backup of what you had done in the current version and if it still works you'll have lost nothing apart from the avatars, which can also be copy-pasted from a backup.

clarkwinkelmann Hello, I reset my hosting account for transfering hosting. So, Flarum is deleted. I will setup again and I will check this error. Also, I'm thinking give up the Flarum, because I lived a lot of errors with Flarum.
