New Install Issues

[jvgrago]

I installed vshare with no issues. But I am having some problems and I am hoping someone can help me out.

I created a user account and an email was sent to me, but no activation link was included in the email. I had to manually activate the account.

When I try to login, it tells me page cannot be found, and then in my error logs (Fedora Core 7 server).

[Mon May 12 15:20:29 2008] [error] [client 72.226.177.123] File does not exist: /var/www/html/jvgrago, referer: http://www.mcj247.net/login.php

Help!

I solved the issue of page cannot be displayed. Here is a reply I used in the Templates category for the page cannot be displayed error.

For those of you having the issue where you goto login and it tells you page cannot be displayed. For example if your site is www.myvideos.com and your username is joesmith, it would redirect you to:

http://www.myvideos.com/joesmith

Some of us had this issue where we were getting page cannot be displayed. The fix is simple...

In your httpd.conf file there is a line that says:

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride None

Change that to say:

AllowOverride All

Save it, restart apache and it will work for you.

Excellent...works of you have control over your server, but for those at the mercy of a webhost, what should they do? I'm thinking direct the tech support to this post and keep their fingers crossed that they do it. :/
