I've tried posting in the appropiate support forum to no avail. I have been an XOOPS user for some time and have never had anything more than cosmetic problems. I have reccomended XOOPS to several other people who have done nothing by praise the support from this site.

Now, I have a serious problem with my XOOPS site and the site owner is demanding that I fix it or find something that "works".

Here is the problem.
(Xoops 2.0.9.2)
mitchryder.com is redirected to mitchryder.com/mrol(Xoops directory). This site has been up and running for well over a year. I can get to admin. control panel, modules, etc. by accessing the url's. mitchryder.com hangs and times out with a "page not found" error. I've switched to the default theme, gone through all the modules by turning each one off one by one, replaced the index.php, mainfile.php and the index.htm (page with redirection code) as well as optimizing the database. I turned on debugging but because the index page doesn't load I've been unable to view any errors.

Initally, I thought it was my web host but I have another XOOPS site there that isn't experiences any problems. I have done all I can think of to get the site up and running.

Unless someone can offer some advice.........I'll have to leave XOOPS for something else.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, I have an index.htm file in ur root folder that redirects users to the XOOPS folder.

This is what's been in the mainfile.php since I installed Xoops.

// XOOPS Physical Path
    // Physical path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
    // Example: define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/path/to/xoops/directory');
    define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/www/X/mitchryder/htdocs/mrol');

    // XOOPS Virtual Path (URL)
    // Virtual path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
    // Example: define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://url_to_xoops_directory');
    define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://mitchryder.com/mrol');

ok :) so i guess mrol is the folder where the XOOPS mainfile.php file is?

in the index.htm what url is it redirecting to?

if it redirects to http://www.mitchryder.com/mrol then you need to change mainfile.php to suit instead of http://mitchryder.com.

but it sounds more like a DNS problem more than a XOOPS problem..

Yes

mitchryder.com/mrol

I tried that and the page still hangs

but it sounds more like a DNS problem more than a XOOPS problem..
Wouldn't that stop the rest of XOOPS from working too?

Re: Last Resort......

Did you move the XOOPS directory from the root to /mrol?

Because every link points to your root directory.

http://mitchryder.com/modules/cdbase/ for instance and not to http://mitchryder.com/mrol/modules/cdbase/
So I don't think it is a DNS problem. The XOOPS root seems to be in an other place than it is supposed to be or used to be?

Re: Last Resort......

by the way I am noticing something strange (in my eyes, but I'm not an expert)

In your mainfile you have :
define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/www/X/mitchryder/htdocs/mrol');


shouldn't this be:

define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/www/X/htdocs/mitchryder/mrol');


?

Seems logical. (htdocs and mitchryder switched, in case you don't see the difference)

Hi Shiela,

Look at your apache error log to see the exact address of the file that it is reporting as not found. Then log in with an ftp program locate the file and compare the two. Here lies the problem.
