Getting 404 Errors on Server

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

I am trying to install someone’s github project who used Yii. I am getting 404 not found errors and need help fixing it.

My index.php comes up fine when I go here:

mydomain.com

But any urls in subdirectories fail with a 404 not found error.

For instance mydomain.com/stats gives the 404 error.

I am using lighttpd and php7. I don’t see anything in the logs for either of those two programs.

Structure is like this:

My root is:

/var/yaamp/web/

The index.php lives there.

Then I have subdirectories called

[b]/var/yaamp/web/assets

/var/yaamp/web/extensions

/var/yaamp/web/framework

/var/yaamp/web/images

/var/yaamp/web/yaamp[/b]

For the most part I think directly referencing files as they are in the directory structure works fine.

I can do mydomain.com/yaamp/modules/stats/test.php

or mydomain.com/images/41.png

But the original developer has lots of links that don’t explicitly exist in the structure

so I’m not sure why it isn’t working.

For instance mydomain.com/stats probably is referring to a file called

/var/yaamp/web/yaamp/modules/stats/index.php

I do get an error 500 when I try it like this:

mydomain.com/yaamp/modules/stats/index.php

also in that folder is a file that may be important called StatsController.php

The relevant section of my lighttpd.conf looks like this:

[b]$HTTP["host"] =~ "mydomain.com" {

    server.document-root = "/var/yaamp/web"


    url.rewrite-if-not-file = (


	"^(.*)/([0-9]+)$" => "index.php?r=$1&id=$2",


	"^(.*)\?(.*)" => "index.php?r=$1&$2",


            "^(.*)" => "index.php?r=$1",


            "." => "index.php"


    )


url.access-deny = ( "~", ".dat", ".log" )

}[/b]

If anyone is interested the Github repo I am trying to get working is here: github.com/tpruvot/yiimp

I just don’t know what to do next. Please help!

The project globalzon/yaamp (https://github.com/globalzon/yaamp) which you forked is built on Yii 1.1.x, and your yiimp project also uses Yii 1.1.x.

IMO, the first thing you have to do is to read the Guide. (http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/)

At the very least you have to read through the first 2 sections of it: “Getting Started” and “Fundamentals”. Without the basic knowledge of the framework it’s impossible for you to do something with it.

It seem to me that your lighttpd URL rewrite is not working properly

Yii uses URL rewrite to manage URL in a single entrance point.

These URL are managed by yii routing system that execute a module and/or a controller and action.

When URL rewrite is properly configured all your URL should be like

Http://mysite.com/<controller>/<action>

Are you sure you are using lighttpd? Since log is empty maybe you have another webserver active.
