.htaccess Problem & File and Folder permission

[shahriar]

Hello , 

 

I have problem with .htaccess , 

 

when friendly url is on it show 404 Not found page for products and category  , but home page is ok .

 

apache rewrite is enable from server . (i updated with 2.2.16)

 

i removed .htaccess and make new one empty .

when friendly URL is on it will not regenerate .htaccess , as soon as i turn off friendly URL .htaccess regenerate .

when friendly URL is off everything is work ok , product page , category , pics 

but when it is on nothing . only home page 

 

also debug is on , no error appear .

 

Friendly URL problem Solved 

 

Open file  /etc/apache2/site-availble/default

 

on note pad just change none to All

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all

</Directory> 

then restart apache server 

--------------------------------------------

Problem Solved

 

adduser yourusername www-data

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www

chmod -R g+rw /var/www

find /var/www -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;

find /var/www -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
find /var/www -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;

service apache2 restart

talk to your hosting provider and ask them if you domain runs as file 'owner'.  Your file permissions should be owned by your domain name.

[selectshop.at]

If you are using PS 1.5. please see the recommended permissions here if they are now changed: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/60420-is-setting-chmod-to-777-dangerous/?do=findComment&comment=1526656

 

Ask you provider if you have permissions for to make changes on CHMOD, perhaps he changed some rights on the server when upgrading his software. Ask also if mod_rewrite module ist installed and activated, otherwise you will get in troubles.

 

Clear also the (smarty)cache files on  your back-office

re you own server..then check that owner is your domain.  I've seen this problem 'before' espeically for the 'savvy' person with their own server...they create by hand the domain folder, which makes the owner the same as your server login, not the domain.

 

so please follow up as suggested, as for running 'another' domain...that is moot as it concerns this issue

see chown for your server environment.  You will need to set the chown -R 'owner':'group' doc_root

and i dont understand how can i assign it to shop 

[shahriar]

Actually prestashop dosent  have permission to /var/www/ , only if all folder and files in /var/www set as 0777 prestashop can to edit and update files .

I do not recommend using 0777.  It's best to fix this properly, and it can be a pain but if you want to run your own server...then you sometimes have to learn to do it correctly.

 

If you use cpanel/plesk or other server admin control panel it creates the correct permissions for a domain.
