404 Not Found error

I have problem accessing homepage index.php when entering the url http://67.159.44.58/~whitncom/

I dont intend to sign up for domain name, just want to use the given IP Address with the folder name created by my hosting provider.

Anyway, I can only access my home page if I enter http://67.159.44.58/~whitncom/index.php

But when i click on the "Watch" link or after user login, it gives me the following msg:

Not Found
The requested URL /home/whitncom/public_html/user.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Thanks

Have you uploded the file /home/whitncom/public_html/user.php ?

I have uploaded all files in binary.

My hosting provider had just added a .htacess.b file in my root directory for redirecting user to the default page but the "Watch" link and after user login still not working.

Error msg when i click on "Watch":

Not Found
The requested URL /~whitncom/recent/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Error msg after user login:

Not Found
The requested URL /~whitncom/username was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Thanks.

Yes, I have uploaded user.php.

To me it looks like when you ran the vshare install you didnt configure it to the right places.

Exactly the same thing happened to me before my nameservers propagated the DNS. I think it's something to do with the string $baseurl. I'll be honest I have no idea how to alter it, but a cheap domain name would cure it I'm sure.

SPOT ON!! :D I just found that out! It was the placement of the ffmpeg in the config file.

Yeah it was a little strange to be something like most of the troubles here.

I am having this same issue (404 File Not Found) on several pages (not just WATCH, but also when you click on your login name to go to your user page, etc).

The path to files are correct (triple checked). Chmod all files that need chmod (triple checked). All files uploaded (triple checked).

The only thing is that I'm using the default URL of the host provider that the script is being hosted on and not a domain name (yet). I have the domain, it's just that I don't want to set the nameserver for it to point to this host until I have it working and customized. This host supports YouTube Clones so it's not a .htaccess issue or anything like that.

Any other ideas or will this script simply not work without a "regular" domain name?

ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION: This script will not work without a "regular" domain.

I went ahead and set the nameservers on the domain, fixed the config.php to reflect the url and viola! Everything worked just fine.

Sounds like a database config not right. Admin will help you better than i can, its either A database not correct, files not uploaded in BINARY or a mysql problem with database.

Well, having the domain nameservers set instead of using the default directories for the webhost definately cured the problem more simply than anything else.

Is that all that caused it? OMG lol

Aparantly it was...if you read my entire post you'll see where I said that I answered my own question: This script will not work without a "regular" domain.

Weird, huh.

So I was half right then ?

Go on, I'll accept one handed applause :lol:

I think you were totally right...I had all the settings correct but as soon as I changed the default host directories with the domain name, it worked instantly. Two handed applause from me! :)

Aw shucks

:blush:

Not Found
The requested URL /Userif was not found on this server.


Done all the checking and went tru the installation.

go ahead and sign in and then sign out and sign in again.

What needs to be checked?

I think this vshare script has soooo many flaws. I followed instructions step by step and this problem

The file is in your vshare zip file....just upload it to your root vshare folder with your ftp client like you did with the other vshare files
