bytedeez Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Was able to get pretty fair with this in my ubuntu server, (for some reason didn't have any issues in openwrt). However while watching of the tutorial i can to a stopping point when i ran into the .htaccess URL rewrite error as Darren did. Darren said he would be linking to the configuration file to get passed this yet i can not find it anywhere so far. I have checked youtube. hak5.org/shownotes hak.org>show>season18>bilding your own friendica server-- then checked the written tutorial below the video. Everything seemed to be there except for .htaccess stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytedeez Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Can any one point me to good, easy to understand instructs or tutorials on how to .htaccess files for friendica via apache2. I have spent the last 3 days attempting to figure it out on my own but I have had no luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Make sure apache mod_rewrite is enabled and allow overrides is in your conf set to allow. if allow overrides is not enabled, it any rules in .htaccess files wo't work. Then drop your .htaccess file in your www root or directory path of the files you want to use an htaccess file rules on. htaccess is pretty straight forward, google has pretty much everything you can think of and I can't off the top of my head about how to use it.

bytedeez Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Thanks digip. I tried that and never could get it going. So I went to dreamhost. Lol. I will try again after I read more on apache2 and ubuntu server. I am also beginning to believe comcast might be giving me issues because a simple apt - get update would not work on a fresh install However I could access us.ubuntu.com through my broswer but only if I used a page proxy.

digip Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 hmm. can' thelp trouble shoot local issues, but yeah, dreamhost will have mod_rewrite and allow overrides on by default, and unless you have a VPS, you won't be able to really change this anyways.

cooper Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Darren mostly restricts himself to twitter I've been told. Send him a DM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytedeez Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Thanks Cooper! I took that route as well before making this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
