Hi,

I have an issue with {auto_path} in the paginate tag. I am implementing the paginate for my entries.

I am using the standard code, no changes yet.

{if previous_page}
 <a href="http://{auto_path}">Previous Page</a>  
{/if}

{if next_page}
 <a href="http://{auto_path}">Next Page</a>
{/if}

This is the wrong URL produced for Next page

<a href="http://www.my-site.com/site/info-from-partnerssite.php/P3">http://www.my-site.com/site/info-from-partnerssite.php/P3</a>

Just some changes I made. I changed “index.php” to “site”. My template group name is “info-from-partners”. As you can see on the url, after my template group name, site.php was appended.

Additional info: My server is running under Mac OSX Leopard.

best regards,
Jay

Hi, Jay. How did you change index.php to site? What’s the reasoning behind it?

Hi Sue!

I followed this official EE guideline. I just want to confirm that I didn’t go through the unofficial guideline.

http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/installation/renaming_index.html

I just found out today that when I renamed the index.php to “site”. I found out that the .php wasn’t removed when I checked it in the terminal. It means I still have “site.php” not purely “site”. . I didn’t do the renaming on the terminal but I did it in Mac OS X’s Finder.

One thing I’ve found out too is my server can process my URL without the extension of php that is why I thought the process I went through was ok already before. But it wasn’t. The .htaccess for the ff. codes doesn’t work. These codes came from the link above.

<Files mynewindex>
AcceptPathInfo on
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
</Files>

<Files mynewindex>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

<Files mynewindex>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

Nothing works with these on my server. I am running apache2 and php 5.2.x

This code worked with .htaccess but nothing with the above codes.

DirectoryIndex mynewindex index.php index.shtml index.html index.htm

Jay

OK, taking a step back here: this is not a problem with pagination, after all, but with trying to rename “index.php” to “site”? What’s the current status, “site.php”?

This is a wrong post. Sorry. Please delete it. Can’t delete it. Thanks

Yes. It appears only “site” in Finder but if I will check the file info. It is still site.php

I renamed it purely “site” today in the terminal but .htaccess won’t treat “site” as a php but just displays a plain text even with the the ff. code.

<Files mynewindex>
AcceptPathInfo on
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
</Files>

I tried the two options in the guidelines too but nothing worked.

I am sure that .htaccess works because the ff.code is functioning and I AllowedOverride All in my httpd.conf

DirectoryIndex mynewindex index.php index.shtml index.html index.htm

As I’ve said I am using Mac OS X Leopard’s native Apache and PHP installation.

You need to use “site” instead of “mynewindex”, like so:

<Files site>

I did, sorry I just copied that from the guideline.

OK. What we’re trying to achieve here is to tell your webserver to parse the “site” file as PHP even though it lacks the typical .php extension. Make sure “AllowOverride” is enabled.

.

AllowOverride is enabled. As Ive said the ff. line is working in the .htaccess

DirectoryIndex site index.php index.shtml index.html index.htm

Hi JusTyMe,

Let me clarify exactly what the situation is right now:

1. You have renamed index.php to site in Terminal
2. You have added the <Files site></Files> block to your .htaccess file
3. You have added the DirectoryIndex line to your .htaccess file
4. You have, in your CP at Admin > General Configuration, changed the site index file name to be ‘site’

Is that correct? If so, is the ‘site’ file being parsed as PHP - I think it might be based upon your first post. If it is not, please confirm that. If it is being parsed as PHP then is the issue still that ‘site.php’ is being appended to your URLs? If it is then please post the entire contents of your .htaccess file.

Cheers

Greg

Hi Greg!

Yes you are right.

Here is my .htaccess

DirectoryIndex site index.php index.shtml index.html index.htm

<Files site>
AcceptPathInfo on
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
</Files>

Based on my test. The .htaccess is enabled because the first line works and redirecting to site properly

DirectoryIndex site index.php index.shtml index.html index.htm

But the <File site> is not parsing as PHP but it is just showing the php code/content of site (old index.php) in the browser as an ordinary text file

Thanks….

Hi, Jay. I’m going to post this to our testing team to see if it’s a bug with EE or not. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Hi Sue!

That will be great. Anyway, I restored EE defaults already back to index.php. I think it will be a better idea to stay as it is for now.

Cheers,
Jay
