Installation went well, but I can't visit the "Admin" section...

MultiViews is problem-some with this software. Just remove MultiViews. Here is what MultiViews does.

Franz

Auk Does that mean adding a line like the following to our .htaccess file may improve the situation for some folks?

Options -MultiViews

Auk

Yes. That's correct.

Important note for those not aware.

Mixing Options with a + or - with those without is not valid syntax and will be rejected during server startup by the syntax check with an abort.

More information about using the Options Directive can be read here.

Franz

Done that now. Thanks for the tip!

Hmm..

Note that Options All does not set MultiViews; you have to ask for it by name.

Sounds like MultiViews is off be default - even setting it to All doesn't even include it. You have to specifically specify (which you did in above config) it I guess it serves to inform that Multiviews is bad in this case, but if you can't do - and +, someone might be forced to disable some +foo just to ensure there is a -MultiViews there.

I'm having the same problem.

I checked the .htaccess file that was generated by the installation and it correctly got the Options - MultiViews inside.

Here is my vhost:

    DocumentRoot /var/www/flarum

    <Directory "/var/www/flarum">
            AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

rewrite module is also correctly enabled (apache2ctl says it's loaded).

I don't know what to do to track down the problem :/

warpdesign is the .htaccess missing in the flarum directory?

warpdesign

luceos No: the .htaccess is present in flarum's directory.

One thing I'm wondering: I have configured the apache server to run on port 3001. Maybe this causes some sort of problems when redirecting ?

luceos

warpdesign I recommend asking your hosting provider for advice.

warpdesign

luceos This is my own server, and I'm testing in local

luceos

warpdesign I'm not sure I follow, you mentioned serverpilot and now you're testing locally?

Jake can you tell me which is your hosting provider? I'm trying to find one

warpdesign

I mean the server is not connected to the internet (yet). It's on a local network (with a local IP). That's what I meant by "local".

After installing flarum from scratch, it works now.

Thanks for the help.

having your same problem here,

I cannot reach admin

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm having this issue on an Apache server.

Installation ran fine (via Composer), but I'm missing the .htaccess file (which I should have, according to the install guide). Is there any way to retrieve this manually?

I have already placed this in my apache2.conf (as per the install guide):

<Directory "/flarum">
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Edit: So I managed to get this working by enabling mod_rewrite (doh!). Still a little weird I'm missing that .htaccess file though.

Edit 2: It appears the .htaccess was there after all, just hidden.

sudo nano .htaccess

This did the trick.
