Attempts to get 2nd page failing

I’ve installed Grav on OS X, using OS X Server.
The initial page works without problem, but adding a 2nd page results in a

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

error message. I’ve followed the listed steps (rewrite rule, .htaccess) but can’t get it to work. Any suggestions would be welcome!

Have you checked http://learn.getgrav.org/troubleshooting/page-not-found?

Yep, did all of those. Not sure what to do next though.

Did you set up your server according to our blog post series? http://getgrav.org/blog/mac-os-x-apache-setup-multiple-php-versions

Maybe run through that and see if there’s anything you missed.

Clearly you have some issue with either:

  • mod_rewrite not uncommented
  • AllowOverride All not set in the correct Directory block

As the results you are seeing are classic examples of these.

Hi rhukster,

I’ve done all of those things, and i’m still getting a

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

error message :-(.
Are there any log files that I should be looking at?

You should check your apache error files. Your problem is definitely related to an apache rewrite setup.

I’m lost on this. The apache error logs don’t show anything wrong at all. I start the server (via the OS X server app) and the only thing that appears in the log is…

[Sat Oct 31 22:12:39.473805 2015] [core:notice] [pid 5332] AH00094: Command line: '/usr/sbin/httpd -D FOREGROUND -f /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf -E /var/log/apache2/error_log -D WEBSERVICE_ON'

I’ve removed and reinstalled Grav, but it still fails in the same way.
All of the changes that have been suggested have been made. Is there anyway to run Apache in a more verbose mode so that I can see is causing the error?

That’s really the only useful log your going to find. At this point i’m not sure how to help other than to say to paste your httpd.conf file and I can have a look in there and see if i see anything obvious.

Hi,

Finally managed to get back to this.

Find attached the httpd.conf file…

This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the

configuration directives that give the server its instructions.

See URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/ for detailed information.

In particular, see

URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/directives.html

for a discussion of each configuration directive.

Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding

what they do. They’re here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure

consult the online docs. You have been warned.

Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many

of the server’s control files begin with “/” (or “drive:/” for Win32), the

server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do not begin

with “/”, the value of ServerRoot is prepended – so “logs/access_log”

with ServerRoot set to “/usr/local/apache2” will be interpreted by the

server as “/usr/local/apache2/logs/access_log”, whereas “/logs/access_log”

will be interpreted as ‘/logs/access_log’.

ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server’s

configuration, error, and log files are kept.

Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path. If you point

ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to specify a local disk on the

Mutex directive, if file-based mutexes are used. If you wish to share the

same ServerRoot for multiple httpd daemons, you will need to change at

least PidFile.

ServerRoot “/usr”

Mutex: Allows you to set the mutex mechanism and mutex file directory

for individual mutexes, or change the global defaults

Uncomment and change the directory if mutexes are file-based and the default

mutex file directory is not on a local disk or is not appropriate for some

other reason.

Mutex default:/private/var/run

Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or

ports, instead of the default. See also the

directive.

Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to

prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support

To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you

have to place corresponding `LoadModule’ lines at this location so the

directives contained in it are actually available before they are used.

Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l’) do not need

to be loaded here.

‘Main’ server configuration

The directives in this section set up the values used by the ‘main’

server, which responds to any requests that aren’t handled by a

definition. These values also provide defaults for

any containers you may define later in the file.

All of these directives may appear inside containers,

in which case these default settings will be overridden for the

virtual host being defined.

ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be

e-mailed. This address appears on some server-generated pages, such

as error documents. e.g. admin@your-domain.com

ServerAdmin you@example.com

ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.

This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify

it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.

If your host doesn’t have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.

#ServerName www.example.com:80

Deny access to the entirety of your server’s filesystem. You must

explicitly permit access to web content directories in other

blocks below.

AllowOverride All Require all denied

Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow

particular features to be enabled - so if something’s not working as

you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it

below.

DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your

documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but

symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.

DocumentRoot “/Library/WebServer/Documents”
<Directory “/Library/WebServer/Documents”>
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are “None”, “All”,
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that “MultiViews” must be named explicitly — “Options All”
# doesn’t give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options FollowSymLinks Multiviews
MultiviewsMatch Any

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

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Require all granted

DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory

is requested.

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being

viewed by Web clients.

<FilesMatch “^.([Hh][Tt]|[Dd][Ss]_[Ss])”>
Require all denied

<FilesMatch .php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php>

Apple specific filesystem protection.

<Files “rsrc”>
Require all denied

<DirectoryMatch “.*..namedfork”>
Require all denied

ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.

If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a

container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be

logged here. If you do define an error logfile for a

container, that host’s errors will be logged there and not here.

ErrorLog “/private/var/log/apache2/error_log”

LogLevel: Control the number of messages logged to the error_log.

Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,

alert, emerg.

#
# Alias: Maps web paths into filesystem paths and is used to
# access content that does not live under the DocumentRoot.
# Example:
# Alias /webpath /full/filesystem/path
#
# If you include a trailing / on /webpath then the server will
# require it to be present in the URL.  You will also likely
# need to provide a <Directory> section to allow access to
# the filesystem path.

#
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts. 
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the target directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the
# client.  The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias
# directives as to Alias.
#
ScriptAliasMatch ^/cgi-bin/((?!(?i:webobjects)).*$) "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/$1"
# # ScriptSock: On threaded servers, designate the path to the UNIX # socket used to communicate with the CGI daemon of mod_cgid. # #Scriptsock cgisock

# # TypesConfig points to the file containing the list of mappings from # filename extension to MIME-type. # TypesConfig /private/etc/apache2/mime.types
#
# AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration
# file specified in TypesConfig for specific file types.
#
#AddType application/x-gzip .tgz
#
# AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers uncompress
# information on the fly. Note: Not all browsers support this.
#
#AddEncoding x-compress .Z
#AddEncoding x-gzip .gz .tgz
#
# If the AddEncoding directives above are commented-out, then you
# probably should define those extensions to indicate media types:
#
AddType application/x-compress .Z
AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz

#
# AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers":
# actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server
# or added with the Action directive (see below)
#
# To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories:
# (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.)
#
#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

# For type maps (negotiated resources):
#AddHandler type-map var

#
# Filters allow you to process content before it is sent to the client.
#
# To parse .shtml files for server-side includes (SSI):
# (You will also need to add "Includes" to the "Options" directive.)
#
#AddType text/html .shtml
#AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

The mod_mime_magic module allows the server to use various hints from the

contents of the file itself to determine its type. The MIMEMagicFile

directive tells the module where the hint definitions are located.

#MIMEMagicFile /private/etc/apache2/magic

Customizable error responses come in three flavors:

1) plain text 2) local redirects 3) external redirects

Some examples:

#ErrorDocument 500 “The server made a boo boo.”
#ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
#ErrorDocument 404 “/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl”
#ErrorDocument 402 http://www.example.com/subscription_info.html

MaxRanges: Maximum number of Ranges in a request before

returning the entire resource, or one of the special

values ‘default’, ‘none’ or ‘unlimited’.

Default setting is to accept 200 Ranges.

#MaxRanges unlimited

EnableMMAP and EnableSendfile: On systems that support it,

memory-mapping or the sendfile syscall may be used to deliver

files. This usually improves server performance, but must

be turned off when serving from networked-mounted

filesystems or if support for these functions is otherwise

broken on your system.

Defaults: EnableMMAP On, EnableSendfile Off

#EnableMMAP off
#EnableSendfile on

TraceEnable off

Supplemental configuration

Virtual Hosts

If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your

machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations

use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn’t need to worry about

IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.

Please see the documentation at

URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/

for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.

You may use the command line option ‘-S’ to verify your virtual host

configuration.

VirtualHost example:

Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.

The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not

match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any block.

#<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com

DocumentRoot “/usr/docs/dummy-host.example.com”

ServerName dummy-host.example.com

ServerAlias www.dummy-host.example.com

Thanks for any help you can give…

Dale

I see you have AllowOverride None in your <Directory “/Library/WebServer/Documents”></Directory> section.

This needs to be set to AllowOverride All

Done, and same result. I’ve stopped/restarted Apache from OS X Server app, as well as restarted the machine, but still got…

Not Found

The requested URL /mypage was not found on this server.

Apache Server at stanbrough.com.au Port 80

thanks for the help in any case.

How about putting an AllowOverride All in the last VirtualHost entry (the one with the SeverName stanbrough.com.au).

There is already an AllowOverride All in the Directory section for this one (this was in the instructions, and is what I did early on).

Putting it into the VirtualHost block causes the “Welcome to OS X Server” page from being displayed in place of the grav front page it currently has. (I’m not sure if this is what you were suggesting).

Well you definitely have something messed up in your default directory or virtual host settings.

Your rewrite and header modules appear to be enabled ok. If your .htaccess does in fact exist, then it must be a missing AllowOverride All for the vhost to cause it to ignore the .htaccess. There’s not a whole lot of other options as to why it’s not working :slight_smile:

The .htaccess file exists (it was a standard copy of the version from the original.

I’ll keep looking around anyway. Thanks for the time you’ve put into looking at this.
