Unable to reach settings page about eve-traders-handbook HOT 10 CLOSED

I suspect it's because your Alias line in Apache conf isn't working properly. This SO post seems to indicate that maybe you need to include all directives inside the <Directory> block.

I've set up the apache2 conf file as directed. I can get to the front page just fine, everything works to land there. It's that when I click on the gear icon to get to the settings page, I get a 404 error:

173.81.238.183 - - [07/Jul/2017:19:24:45 +0000] "GET /handbook/settings HTTP/1.1" 404 727 "https://www.thedoubled.org/handbook/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0"

Everything was included inside the >Directory> block, I just didn't paste the closing line when I copied it here

Sorry, I don't know that much about Apache configuration, and I never tried running the app using Alias to direct traffic to a different location. I have found this page, which sounds like the exact problem you're having:

Maybe try adding/removing some of the settings under the <Directory> and see if anything works?

Hi, I also have an issue to reach the setting page/app page.

First I'd like to say the I'm a noob in every tools used here, but I know how to follow a step by step process. yet, I'm stuck at the end of step 4 and cant find the app.

I'm on windows 7, I did step 3a where I copied the ETH folder in htdocs folder.
I've got the "http://localhost:8888/eve-traders-handbook/" page as an "index of/" page

I did the step 4 with the database without any issues, even so I dont know which "Whoops" page I'm supposed to be on, since I got multiple available in the "index of/" pages.

Therefore, I still dont know which page I'm supposed to be on at the end of step 4 and the "index of/" page is unchanged.

could someone let me know what I've missed please?

@Nilitys - If you're seeing the Index of / file list at your URL, that means that either your URL is not pointing correctly to the root of the application, or the .htaccess file is not correctly serving the index.php page.

What do you see listed on the page? If it is the app/bootstrap/public/vendor folders and files, try clicking into the public directory - that is where all requests are served from.

from eve-traders-handbook.

ok, the "public" folder is indeed a "whoops" page.

about the ".htaccess" file (in C:\xampp\htdocs\eve-traders-handbook\public), here is it's content:

"

Options -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On

# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

"

shall I change the "{REQUEST_FILENAME}" to something else?

from eve-traders-handbook.

No, that's fine. /public is where the site is viewed, although I'm not 100% sure it will work as intended if you're just viewing it directly.

To diagnose the issue you're still having, have a look at the app/storage/logs/laravel.log file - the latest errors are at the end of the file. It should give you an idea what specific part is not working.

from eve-traders-handbook.

I do not have a "laravel.log" at that location, only a ".gitignore"

from eve-traders-handbook.

I'm having the same issue as Nilitys.

I found out that when I clicked on public I got the Whoops page but no matter what I do, it won't change from that.

I tried both methods, the second one when I put the url it takes me to the dashboard.
The first one is the one I get the "Whoops.." page.

The database seems to be setup told to.

Any tips? Could be PHP's version?

from eve-traders-handbook.

@samygabriel - could be. This application is now several years old, and will no longer work as intended due to zKillboard removing XML responses. I plan to rebuild this app from scratch using more modern techniques later this year.
