Admin dashboard about batflat

[wilburforce83]

I came to ask about this too. I have just installed Batflat to try it out and after I log in I just get a 404, looked at the files and see there is only index and htaccess. Am I missing something simple? Thanks!

[klocus]

I think that you have an issue with mod_rewirte. Do you have Apache?

[piotr-placzek]

Yes. I am using the Apache/2.4.10 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1h PHP/5.5.15

[wilburforce83]

I didn't have https:// added so added that in, but still getting 404. I am not that great with php, so there is a good chance I am missing something here!

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^ index.php [L] RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/$1 [R=301,L] </IfModule>

[klocus]

@piotr-placzek @wilburforce83 do you have mod_rewrite enabled?

[wilburforce83]

@piotr-placzek thanks for the quick reply, and sorry for my ignorance, I am still learning! I am hosting on a subdomain on Site Ground. They say that to enable mod_rewrite it needs to go in the .htaccess of the website.

https://www.siteground.com/kb/how_can_i_enable_modrewrite_module/

I have added this to the .htaccess in the /admin folder. Should it go in the subdomain .htaccess instead, or maybe even in the main domain /public_html/.htaccess?

i.e.

/public_html/.htaccess
/public_html/subdomain/.htaccess
/public_html/subdomain/admin/.htaccess

Many thanks for your help!

[klocus]

RewriteEngine On is already set in .htaccess file.

[piotr-placzek]

My mistake.

The rewrite_module was turned off.

However, now after giving login and password (admin / admin) in response I get a blank page (without any source code at all).

http://localhost/batflat-master/admin/dashboard/main?t=b88be7f58de0

[klocus]

Update PHP to 5.6 or 7 ;)

[wilburforce83]

Okay, I have resolved mostly! I now have a 500 error on HTTPS, HTTP works fine, though I think I can fix that myself :) many thanks!!

[klocus]

@wilburforce83 enable "DEV_MODE" in inc/core/defines.php and check for errors.

[wilburforce83]

@klocus Thanks, I have enable DEV_MODE to true. is there log somewhere? can't find anything obvious, thanks again for your help!

[klocus]

You should get some error instead of 500 page. Or maybe it's because of .htaccess protection. Try remove

# Prevent directory listings
Options -Indexes

# Prevent visitors from viewing files directly
<Files "\.(sdb|md|html|txt)$">
    <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
        Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
        Satisfy All
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
        Require all denied
    </IfModule>
</Files>

from this file and check if that is working.

[wilburforce83]

Okay, so if I manually remove the "s" everything works with no 500 errors, so it is all https:// related.

Removing the above code didn't do anything, is the https thing a simple fix that I'm missing?

[klocus]

Please use default Batlfat's .htaccess file. If you want use SSL, add

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

after Options -Indexes

[wilburforce83]

@klocus thanks for this! I have done the changes but it hasn't done anyhting. However, I am on a subdomain, so sdo I need to write something different here:

RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

To reflect that it is a subdomain?

[klocus]

It doesn't matter if you are on subdomain.

[wilburforce83]

Thank you, I didn't think it would. I just can't get it to do anyhting other than home page in https:// everyhting works fine in HTTP:// but I need it secure.

This is what I have:

[klocus]

# Prevent directory listings
Options -Indexes

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

# Prevent visitors from viewing files directly
<FilesMatch "\.(sdb\|html\|txt)$">
 <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
Require all denied
</IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

# URL rewrites
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(inc/\|themes/\|tmp/).*\.(php\|html)$ - [F,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

[piotr-placzek]

I just reinstalled Apache and updated everything. I changed the control panel from UwAmp to Xampp. And everything is ok. Thanks for your help and patience.

[wilburforce83]

@klocus Thank you so much for all your help, but it still isn't working. I am wondering whether there is a problem with my host or something? I think I might just give up for the time being :(
