Can you share a screenshot of your folder structure from the menu folder?

Just to be sure, did you edit your menu/index.php folder?

Is www.yoursite.com/menu/admin working?

sampoyigi

The link doesn't work.

Your htaccess file look fine but won't be sure without a visual of your folder structure

Midways

The .htaccess in the menu folder, RewriteBase /

should read RewriteBase /menu

This should fix the problem.

Hello Sam,

After further testing and exploration, I discovered some odd behaviours with my PHP setup. I then completely removed PHP and installed PHP 7.1.5 on the server. and the original error went away. I also installed directly to the root directory of the web server to eliminate any possibilities of errors. I verified the PHP is working with these two files:

http://transactioncart.com/info.php

http://transactioncart.com/index2.php

The problem now is the index.php file (in the document root & admin folders) returns a blank page. I checked the apache error log and find no errors. When I check the apache access log I see:

"GET /index.php HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0"

My .htaccess files:

.htaccess in menu folder-

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^assets/downloads/(.*) not_found [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L] </IfModule>

.htaccess in admin folder

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /admin RewriteRule ^assets/downloads/(.*) not_found [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L] </IfModule>

.htaccess in setup

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /setup RewriteRule ^assets/downloads/(.*) not_found [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L] </IfModule>

Index.php

The only edit I made was:

date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');

Any idea what could be wrong or needs to be changed on the server configs? I have full root access.

Thanks!

Here is a screenshot of the folder structure (I don;t have a GUI on the server, so here it is from my FTP client)

Hello,

I have uploaded the TastyIgniter application to my domain: http://transactioncart.com/menu/

When I run the index.php file I get:

Your application folder path does not appear to be set correctly. Please open the following file and correct this: index.php

Any idea what I need to configure on my side?

.htaccess in menu folder- (this code has been updated as per suggestion by Midways)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /menu
  RewriteRule ^assets/downloads/(.*) not_found [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

.htaccess in admin folder

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /menu/admin 
  RewriteRule ^assets/downloads/(.*) not_found [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

.htaccess in setup

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /menu/setup
  RewriteRule ^assets/downloads/(.*) not_found [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

Hello Midways! Thanks so much for lending me a hand on this. I updated .htaccess in the menu folder, but unfortunately I still get the same message:

Your application folder path does not appear to be set correctly. Please open the following file and correct this: index.php

If it is any help, the server is running PHP 2.6 on CentOS 7, with Apache 2.4.6

Best regards!

Thanks for the clue! Chowning the public_html directory to my user didn't do anything. I chowned it recursively to apache:apache and got the Accept License screen, but cannot progress beyond it. It just reloads... Is this the correct group to own the web site folder?? Any suggestions to get past the accept license page?

Best regards, Mike

Hello Nedinho! Thanks for your help and suggestion. Unfortunately, I am still having the same problem after chowning the entire public_html folder to apache.apache. :(

[quote='@mike_b: I don\'t know how you've setup your apache (if you've customised/changed default user run settings) but if it's stock standard you have to assign www-data:www-data as its user/group to the folder where you code sits.
