Start Page - only module=none works!!

In system administration / preferences / general settings I want to set my startpage to module icontent. However, after doing so and tring to access index.php I get the error message - "You are not authorized to view this page"

This actually occurs if I select any module - so to get index.php to work I have to select the 'none' option.

I have been told I may have to completely reinstall XOOPS to solve it

That would not go down too well with my boss!! So could anyone suggest anything!

Hi,

Do you use Apache ?
It seems to be a problem with your web server

Bye,
Hervé

Note that when I mentioned re-installing XOOPS on the separate thread you have going on the same subject, I didn't mean delete your current install and start completely over. I guess I wasn't very clear.

Make sure that you have ALL of the files moved over (don't touch your database, that's what would upset your boss!). Then refresh/update each of the modules in system admin.

Also, the comments that I made on the separate thread with regard to the fact that I have seen the same behavior: Hervé hit the nail on the head: this installation was the one in which my friend/client insisted on a Windows IIS server instead of Apache.

HUUU !
What did I made ?

In all the cases, it seems that your web server has not been properly configured to recognize index.php as a default document.

Not exactly. In this particular problem, the start page works just fine and recognizes index.php UNTIL a module is selected for the start page in preferences. This is the problem that I had prior and the same one that yellowchimp noted o nthe separate thread

I think the error is a bit more complicated than just recognizing the default document.

Re: Start Page - only module=none works!!

Thanks for trying Koertzen but its still not working

I have downloaded a new modules folder and ftp'd it to replace the one I had. I reinstalled the modules I wanted and then placed my html pages into icontent - and then activated anf configured them .Set my start page to use module icontent and hey presto:

"you are not authorized to view this page"

(The web server uses IIS and I can't have apache because apparently you can't have IIS and Apache on the same server and IIS is used on other things on the server and cannot be removed)

(ps - I made a new thread so that the title reflected the problem )

FIXED!!!

Well I think so anyway!

There was no default page set for the website apparently.

My boss has just set it as domain/index.php and it all magically works.

Sorry for wasting anybody's time
