url incorrect when clicking on a module link.

via tabs at the top of my theme file, i have links pointing to various modules in my site.

I have several sites hosted in the same package, with different domains pointing to myhostingpackage/folder1/example/ .

the page links within XOOPS are all correct, and this site works, but when i click the tab links (i have tried with full domain name included and without) it reads correctly, but then displays the /folder1/example/ in the Url.

the link will show down the bottom, http://www.domain.com/modules/contactus but then it will take you to http://www.domain.com/folder1/example/modules/contactus which effectively does not exist, becaus http://www.domain.com is pointing to the end of the example folder.

How do I fix this and why is it occuring?
thanks in advance

It seems there is a misalignment in the XOOPS_URL and XOOPS_ROOT_PATH definition.
If XOOPS is installed in the root, then the contact module is accessed by http://www.domain.com/modules/contactus/ and your XOOPS_URL is http://www.domain.com . In the internal directory structure, there will be something as /home/account/public_html/modules/contactus/ and that makes /home/account/public_html the XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.
If XOOPS is installed in a subdirectory of your www directory, then these subdirectories should be added to both. For eg installation in a XOOPS directory these definitions become http://www.domain.com/xoops and /home/account/public_html/xoops .

ok well according to your post, it seems the details are currently correct.

details from my mainfile below, my hosting package root is /html/ but the domain is directed to the folder /gympiecarpetcourt/ and this is where XOOPS is installed.

Quote:

define( 'XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', 'D:/Hosting/html/gympiecarpetcourt' );
define( 'XOOPS_PATH', 'D:/Hosting/html/gympiecarpetcourt/xoops_lib' );
define( 'XOOPS_VAR_PATH', 'D:/Hosting/html/gympiecarpetcourt/xoops_data' );
define("XOOPS_TRUST_PATH", XOOPS_PATH);
define( 'XOOPS_URL', 'http://www.gympiecarpetcourt.com' );


ps how do you do those little code box thingys.
cheers

And how does these definitions correspond to the links and errors in your first post?

Has the IUSR_SERVERNAME (alias, to be replaced by the real name) the necessary rights in IIS and the file system to access the required directories and libs?
These rights in Windows add an extra layer of problems, read some relevant threads.

The code box thingies are a button before the quote box thingies.

thanks for your help, here are the details

when I hover the contact us button the link address down the bottom is

http://www.gympiecarpetcourt.com/modules/contactus (correct)

once clicked it takes me to the contact page with the url reading

http://www.gympiecarpetcourt.com/gympiecarpetcourt/modueles/contactus

(incorrect, and technically doesent exist)

I dont know anything about iis, didnt really understand your last post, im just a beginner and very new to all this.
having a look at those threads now.
thanks.

No I havent resolved it at all.

Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

I dont want the folder /gympiecarpetcourt/ in the middle to be shown, for this site, its pretty straight forward, the folder name matches the site at least, but for others, they are in two or more subfolders.

At the time a wrote the message, it was no longer adding the /gympiecarpetcourt/ before /modules/contactus/ . Now it does it again, but strange enough the page always loads for both URL.

Have you some kind of URL rewriting?
I see also a lot of cloned? modules eg /modules/blinds, /modules/allflooring or are these just bad links?

no thats correct, i use dummy pages and then just load what i want onto them with blocks.

I think from the menu it works, but from the tabs it doesnt, or maybe its just random.

no i dont have any kind of rewriting, just straight install, it seems to do this with most of my XOOPS installations.

yeah, it is strange how it still works hey, cos with /gympiecarpetcourt/ in the middle the folder isnt really there.

I don´t know why but I notice that if you add a tralling slash at the end of your links it will work fine

instead of having blablabla/aboutus
try blablabla/aboutus/
