Even ?page=loginURL doesn't work...

[YESb]

Hi Specialists ,
I'm facing a concern with Wcms where the login page does not appear...
Concretely :

• last version of Wcms (downloaded sun. 03 nov. 2024 on the official website)

• Apache

• PHP 8.3

• 2 files (yes I can see .htaccess) and 3 directories on the server

• netim.fr for my domain name and server (no known problems with other customers on Wcms, according to the support)

• SSL certificate (Let's encrypt)

• 404 Not found for /loginURL or /?page=loginURL

• I can see the homepage

• I can reach the how-to page as well

Why, please ?
Thanks in advance for your ideas/solution.
Best.

Hey YESb, welcome!

This might be silly, but still worth a shot. Did you access a dashboard at all after installing Wcms?
I'm asking because the first thing I do is to change default loginURL and forget what did I change it to

Can you access data > database.js where your wcms installation is?
If so, open database.js and check if login is "login": "loginURL", or something else.

Hi Nox,

Thanks a lot for all!

I've faced this problem at the very first try : I have uploaded the two files and the directory. I have launched my site with its address. I have reached the normal Home page. I've tried to login, and... error 404.

No change nowhere. Just now I've checked in the file you're writting about : "login": "loginURL", ...

Sorry for that answer...

Hi,

I'm facing the same problem slightly different:
After uploading Wcms to my Raspberry Pi I can reach the Home page. By clicking "Click here to login" I get a "404 page not found".
Using "?page=loginURL" I get the login page, but after entering the password there is again a "404 page not found".
I have checked all system requirements for Apache and PHP (8.2) modules.

Uploading the same package to a local XAMPP-Server or to my web hoster works fine in all ways.
What can be wrong in Apache or PHP Settings?

Thanks for any ideas ...

Hi to both,

@yebba24, your specific issue is that .htaccess it not working, which takes care of clean URLs, this is confirmed by your home page working, since its on example.com/home and example.com?page=loginURL working. Try something like this: https://ubiq.co/tech-blog/how-to-enable ... ampp-wamp/

@YESb your issue seems similar, however it seems, can you please verify with your host that:
you have
- cURL extension
- mbstring extension
- Zip extension
- mod_rewrite module enabled this one is important.

Both of these cases indicate that the htaccess is not taking effect, the first one seems trivial.

Hi wiz,

thanks for your advice. I'm not registered to ubiq, but I found the problem in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf where Directory setting was

Code: Select all

AllowOverride None

After changing to

Code: Select all

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

everything works fine.

@yebba24 happy to hear this was resolved for you. Happy WonderCMS-ing.
