TheBigK

Just installed Flarum on my test server and tried created a new discussion. I get the following error:

Oops! Something went wrong on the server. Please reload the page and try again.

I opened the JS console on Chrome and it says :

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Update: In case this helps; I'm getting The requested URL /admin was not found on this server; when I access Admin Panel.

What sort of errors are you seeing from the server? 404s could be a result of rewrite configuration issues.

See this thread for an example. If you can tell us more about your environment, someone may be able to help.

Oh, and welcome to Flarum! 🙂

TheBigK

Thanks Dominion , The configuration is this:

<Directory /var/www/html>
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
	AllowOverride All
	Order allow,deny
	allow from all
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

I'm using DigitalOcean Ubuntu LAMP setup.

Dominion

Based on post #6 in the thread I linked I'd suggest removing MultiViews from the Options directive.

Please try that and see if it helps.

If it doesn't, hopefully someone with more technical savvy than me will come along with better advice. 😛

TheBigK

Update: Removing MultiViews fixed all the problems! 🙂

Can't wait to test this!

Dominion

Glad to hear it! Enjoy!

Hmm, maybe I have more technical savvy than I thought ..

Franz

Dominion Haha, good job!

The MultiViews option will be overwritten in our .htaccess file in the next release.

TheBigK

Franz - I got a blank page at the time of accessing the installer. I removed the underscore from the database name and it worked fine.

Looks like we still have a long way to go before the software is ready for real world. I'm however very excited by what you've built!

Yep, but that's why we need you guys for beta testing. Thanks for helping out! =)

wow good catch!

TheBigK

Aah well, I guess I was too excited when I wrote that. This is what fixed two issues:-

I was getting blank page at the time of launching the installer:
Fix: I Removed the Multiviews line and simply kept <Directory> AllowOverride All </Directory>
The installer got stuck and did not proceed showing an SQL error.
Fix: I removed the underscore from my database name and the installer worked fine. So for the time being, having only alphabet letters in the database name seems to be right way to go about installation.

PS: Where do I see release schedules? Are they public?

Dominion

TheBigK Where do I see release schedules? Are they public?

They're on the Hub ... but subject to change at any time.

EDIT: Hmm, I guess I should have avoided the plural there.
