Could not find /postinstall

[lowscojownes]

Hi,

When I install the league manager and I add the registry data, it says after I press save, that it can't find /postinstall.
I look on the /www folder and I cannot see that folder, I don't know if it has to be there or it has to be created by the install process.

Thanks

/postinstall should be a route, not a physical file. I'm not home at the moment, but will look into it next week. El 22 nov. 2019 17:11, lowscojownes <[email protected]> escribió:Reopened #2. —You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.

Hi!
I just tried a fresh install and can not reproduce your bug. Could you tell me how you installed it and what PHP version you are using?

[lowscojownes]

Sure, I installed it deploying the files to my server (on a subfolder).
When uploaded modified the privileges on the www folder to 777. Then went to the www folder in the navigator and the process started alone, but gets stopped on the first phase.
My PHP version is the 7.3 If I don't recall badly.

[lowscojownes]

For more detail I will take the images here.
The second capture is after filling the form of the first coach and pressing "Save".
After this if I try to go to the www route again I get an error, If I delete de DB it starts over, but never advances after this point.

OK, after seeing your screenshots, I believe it is a matter of redirections configuration. The code contains an '.htaccess' file under www/ which includes the necessary redirections for an Apache server (the most common), but if you have something different (Nginx, Lighttpd, ...) or you have disallowed per directory configs, you may need a different method.

If you know what I am talking about, you just need to redirect any non-exisiting file request to index.php.

If you don't, try to see what server you're using and if you can configure it. We'll take it from there.

[lowscojownes]

Well, I am using the hosting on One.com. I believe it is Apache but I don't know exactly.
I see the htaccess:

But I don't know what I have to modify exactly.

[delkano]

I'm not sure if this is going to work, but you can try to uncomment the RewriteBase line (remove the starting #) and set the path from / to /hellbowl3d/www.
If this still doesn't work, my only idea is to contact one.com on the link they give you here: https://help.one.com/hc/es/articles/115005586169--Qué-es-htaccess-

[lowscojownes]

Now it just says not found.
Gonna talk with one to see what happens then.

[lowscojownes]

I sent the request to One.com so they can help me but I have not much expectations.
Could you make me a favour?
Could you send me one fresh DB generated with a generic administrator first user?
Want to try if that fixes it. I would really appreciate it.

If the thing is that it gets stuck in the DB creation, that should fix it, I supose.

Thanks in advance,

[delkano]

I can send you a DB but I don't think that will solve the issues, since the routing is necessary on the whole manager, not just the install (and you're seeing a default 404 page, not the SBBLM custom one, so I know it isn't working).
However, please just try one last thing. Rename the .htaccess file to something like backup.htaccess, create a fresh .htaccess, and have just one line in it:

FallbackResource /hellbowl3d/www/index.php

If it still doesn't work, I'll send you a fresh DB (just as a last test) and start working on an alternate routing system.

[lowscojownes]

Hi Delkano,

Tried it, same output.
If you're so sure about that don't bother to send me the DB.

Backed up the htaccess, created a new one with that line and the same happens.

[lowscojownes]

I've changed a little bit that line you gave me and the error is now different:

[lowscojownes]

In any case is extremely rare.
The process seems to be stopping midpoint, and the url of the postinstall cannot be found.
I wonder if it needs to generate something and it does not do that.

This is bugging me hahaha

Edit: from one.com say they don't have a clue.

[delkano]

Hi again. No, it is not that it is generating something and it can't. I'll try to explain:
Every URL from SBBLM is actually managed by the same file, index.php. This is true for /postinstall as well. index.php receives the request, looks at the path it asked for, and says "Oh, this is a postinstall route, I'll call the "postinstall" method to answer it. I'm simplifying a bit, but this is the idea.

The issue you're having is that, although the .htaccess has the right configuration, for some reason your Apache install (or more accurately, the One.com install) is ignoring what .htaccess is telling it (that is, to send any request to index.php) and instead is trying to find an actual /postinstall file (which obviously doesn't exist and shouldn't). Since it can't find it, it generates a 404 error, which should display a 404 page. This also should be managed by index.php but, since the server is ignoring these instructions, it just shows its own, basic one.

Coming to this point, and as a special situation, I can offer you one thing: I can store your SBBLM install on my own server and, if you want, you can redirect your domain to it.

[delkano]

Alternatively, would you be willing to granting me temporary FTP or SSH access to this directory of your server?

[lowscojownes]

Before giving you access to the server, I want to try out something before.
I had a raspi eating dust for some time, I might try to use it as an apache server and use the redirect from the web to the raspi.

That will take me some days but I'll try and tell you how it goes.
Didn't know postinstall was a method, I am a excoder, thought is was a physical file or something but that clarifies it for me.
Thanks
