Getting a "installation has changed notice" - I've clicked the upgrade button several times but keep getting it. I'm thinking it's because of my custom .htaccess file as I've made additions to it. I try using the one in the zp-core folder but same issue.
When I delete all .htaccess files and let the install create one...it then tells me THAT on isn't the right version...lol.
What do I need to do?
V 1.4.5
Thanks
I'd un-protect them to run it again if you want setup to try to recreate your .htaccess.
To answer your other question-
"What triggers this notice? I'll assume I'm the only one to see the notice since I'm logged in and normal visitors of the site won't see it?"
The notice is triggered by a core script, not meant to be disabled, as a security protocol. It is only visible to you, the logged in administrator. See here:
The notice should have told you what has changed. Only the Admin will see the notice.
Regards the .htaccess file. The new file should look like:
`
htaccess file version 1.4.5;
Rewrite rules are now handled by PHP code
See the file "zenphoto-rewrite.txt" for the actual rules
These rules redirect everything not directly accessing a file to the Zenphoto index.php script
IndexIgnore *RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /zenphoto
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^.*/?$ index.php [L,QSA]
`
With the rewrite base modified appropriately for your installation. The first line is the file's version and is what is checked to see if the version is correct. You should be able to simply add your rules now. This file will not change in the future as all our rules are now interpreted by PHP code.
Gotcha thanks. Lastly, I can't get the re-direct from /admin to zp-core/admin.php to work...
This is what is in my old file:
RewriteRule ^admin/?$ zp-core/admin.php [R,L]
This is the new version...no go either:
RewriteRule admin/*$ %ZENFOLDER%/admin.php [L,QSA]
If I use my old .htaccess file all together it works...but with the new one no go.
Let's be clear. You did remove any .htaccess file from your installation. Then re-ran setup so that it created a site specific .htaccess file.
If you ran setup directly then the second page would have a bunch of check icons. The one for mod_rewrite should be a checkmark, not a broken image. If it is a broken image then your site is not processing rewrite rules.
Also be sure the option for Mod_rewrite is enabled.
Yes - I delete all .htaccess files, and when I let setup create the file - setup then instantly tells me the file is out of date and to let it create one. SOOOO, I let install go w/o any .htaccess, then I copy the correct .htaccess file to the server.
Honestly I've not noticed if the mod-rewrite checkmark is there or not...I give a quick look and they all appear to be checked but don't look at every one specifically. I usually just load the site and then go to the backend.
Also, I don't run mod_rewrite but for testing even when enabled the redirect doesn't work. I get the 500 Internal Server Error.
NOW, mod_rewrite is "supposed" to be enabled on the new server I'm on but I do see the "Setup did not detect a working mod_rewrite facility" message under options/general so not sure what that means.
Additionally, I have several redirect 301's in the new .htaccess file and they work just fine.
As mentioned before, if I copy my old .htaccess file over then the admin redirect works fine...so I'm at a loss...
Just for kicks...here are the two files...maybe I'm missing something...
This is the latest .htaccess file - I've added some 301 redirect...works fine but no admin redirect...
