admin url contains local path - johnd126 - 2009-12-02
Hi
Just installed zenphoto on my windows server (running apache).
When I try logging from http://myserver/zenphoto/zp-core/admin.php it tries to redirect to http://myserver/zenphoto/C:\webroot\myserver\zenphoto\zp-core\admin.php
What do I have set incorrectly to cause this?
Thanks

You might need to set the webpaths on the `zp-data/zp-config.php` file manually.

I assume you mean these:
//define('WEBPATH', '/zenphoto');
//define('SERVERPATH', 'c:/webroot/myserver/zenphoto');
I did uncomment each of these and try different settings for both of them (not sure which one applied) but it didn't make a difference.
Would the settings in the .htaccess file come into play? I use a custom named version of the file and renamed the .htaccess file to match the name I use but it didn't make a diff either.
Once I re-browse to http://myserver/zenphoto/zp-core/admin.php I'm logged in and everything works ok so it only seems to affect that one refresh.

I meant those lines. You mean the rewrite path within the htaccess file, not the file itself I assume?
admin url contains local path - johnd126 - 2009-12-02
No, I DO mean the file itself. I changed the name '.htaccess' to something else unique for other reasons years ago. The RewriteBase /zenphoto directive in the file itself is correct so I didn't have to adjust that.
I see this in the source of the admin.php page before I log in:
`<input type"hidden" name"redirect" value"C:\webroot\myserver\zenphoto\zp-core\admin.php" />`
In all other cases after I'm logged in the paths are /zenphoto/something ... only in this case is it showing a local path rather than a URL. Where does it get this from?

So, what version of Zenphoto? (Always helps to read the <a>forum rules</a> before asking for help. That you know what information we need to be able to help you.)

I've downloaded and installed zenphoto 1.2.7 just two days ago. It's running on Windows XP with Apache 2.0.63 and PHP 5.2.11.

Well, the `.htaccess` file MUST be named `.htaccess`, otherwise it does not work. Perhaps your server does not support modrewrite functionality.
admin url contains local path - johnd126 - 2009-12-03
The mod_rewrite IS working as things are now: for instance when I browse to http://myserver/zenphoto/admin I am redirected to http://myserver/zenphoto/zp-core/admin.php. It's only the redirect path within the output of the admin.php itself which is being created incorrectly. Is mod_rewrite used for that?
Is there an issue with zenphoto being in a directory a couple up from the root? I.e. I have it in c:\webroot\myserver\zenphoto.

Actually zenphoto can run either in the root or a folder. I see no reason why not from a folder within a folder but the htaccess file needs to reflect that of course.

ADMIN does not use mod_rewrite for any of its URLs.
find the function `currentRelativeURL` in admin-functions.php and change it so it reads:
`
function currentRelativeURL($source) {
$source = str_replace('\\','/',$source);
$source = str_replace(SERVERPATH, '', $source);
$q = '';
if (!empty($_GET)) {
foreach ($_GET as $parm=>$value) {
$q .= $parm.'='.$value.'&';
}
$q = '?'.substr($q,0,-1);
}
return pathurlencode($source.$q);
}
`
I suspect this will fix the problem, but I do not have a Windows server, so cannot confirm.

That appears to have fixed it! I'll keep trying to stuff to make sure it doesn't affect something else.
Thanks.
