Hi! I´m having some problems configuring the url-rewrites on my wpg2-installation. The strange thing is that I had it all working, but decided to do a clean install of both wordpress and gallery2 when I knew what theme and plugins I needed. When I did that, it suddenly doesn´t work anymore. I´ve done a clean install again, and noted EXACTLY what I´m doing: -Downloaded and installed WP2.3 in "C:\web\wordpress", mysql database: wordpress, mysql user: wordpress -Changed password on wordpress user "admin" -Enables permalinks with custom structure "/%postname%/" -Downloaded and installed gallery-2.2.2-full in "C:\web\wordpress\gallery2", mysql database: wordpress, mysql user: wordpress -Activated URL-rewrite with mod_rewrite on http://www.fjelldal.org/gallery2 -Downloaded and activated WPG2 3.0RC Final Now on the WPG2-buttons in the admin-panel: WPG2: WPG2 Validation Check: Valid (View Page ») Wordpress Compatible? Success URI to Gallery2 Ok? Success Gallery2 can be located in G2 File Path? Success Gallery2 can be initialised? Success Gallery2 Version Compatible? Success Gallery2 Module: ImageBlock Active? Success Gallery2 Module: ImageFrame Active? Success WPG2 Output Page Type? Wordpress WPG2 Gallery2 Rewrites Status? Off Embedded Page is using what Header type? Simple Embedded Page is using what Footer type? Simple Using Which WPG2 Stylesheet? Internal WPG2 Paths: WPG2 Paths Status: Valid Gallery2 URL: http://www.fjelldal.org/gallery2/ URL to your Gallery2 Installation. Example: http://www.domain.com/gallery2/ URL to WPG2 Output: http://www.fjelldal.org/wpg2 Gallery2 File Path: C:\web\wordpress\gallery2\ This is the File path to your Gallery2 installation. Example: /home/username/public_html/gallery2/ On Gallery Error Redirect to: http://www.fjelldal.org/index.php The page you want to redirect to if there is a Gallery login error. Example: http://www.domain.com/index.php But now AGAIN, this is where it goes WRONG: Gallery2 Rewrites: Gallery2 Rewrite Module: Validation Checklist Wordpress Permalinks Active? Yes Does Gallery2 Rewrite Plugin Exists? Yes Can Gallery2 Rewrite Plugin be Activated? No Is Gallery2 Rewrite using Apache Mod_Rewrite? Skipped Due to Previous Failure Wordpress .htaccess can be updated? Skipped Due to Previous Failure Error: Gallery2 Rewrite Plugin cannot be activated -I get a 500 Internal Server Error, and this .htaccess-file is being created in my C: folder:
# BEGIN Url Rewrite section
# (Automatically generated. Do not edit this section)
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} gallery\_remote2\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !wpg2$
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} d/([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)/([^/?]+)(\?.|\ .)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !wpg2$
RewriteRule . /gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=%1&g2_serialNumber=%2&g2_fileName=%3 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} v/([^?]+)(\?.|\ .)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !wpg2$
RewriteRule . /wp-admin/admin.php?page=/wpg2&g2_path=%1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
# END Url Rewrite section
I don´t have a clue what to do, and really need my page functional within the next day ;/ Hope this detailed stepbystep makes some sense to some of you guys! What happens, is that a .htaccess file is being made in my "C:" directory on my server (wordpress is installed at C:/web/wordpress), and I can´t reach a single page on my server (I get the 500 error) until I manually delete that .htaccess file. Then mod_rewrite is disabled again in the gallery. This is extremly annoing.. any help, please? I´m leaving in a few days for military service, and need my blog up and running! |

Where is your root web page? I'm guessing c:/web
What do you have in Options -> General -> WordPress address (URL): and Options -> General -> Blog address (URL):

Yes, my root web page is in C:/web

Are the paths in WPG2 Paths blank? The code you posted above shows them as blank.

Ah, sorry, no, they are not blank, but are like this:

They didn´t follow in the copypaste I did :O
Will edit previous post ;)

I know this is a pain, but can you try reinstalling Gallery2 in c:\web\gallery2\
It shouldn't matter, but since you're in a hurry, my gut feel is that it will work better if they're not nested.
EDIT: Also, I think your WordPress URL should be http://www.fjelldal.org/wordpress/

Should I use a subdomain to access the gallery then? Like http://gallery2.fjelldal.org ? Or what do you mean?
What should my wordpress url be?
Posts: 492
UPDATE: Never mind. I just looked at your site. Your gallery is at http://www.fjelldal.org/gallery2/main.php Which means that the path shown, C:\web\wordpress\gallery2\, is incorrect. Please verify that your gallery is actually currently installed at C:\web\gallery2\
I hit the submit button too early before. Your WordPress URL should be http://www.fjelldal.org/wordpress/

OK, no I´ve deleted it all, and is about to install everything again. Yes, my gallery is/was at http://www.fjelldal.org/gallery2/main.php, but it is also correct that it is/was installed at c:/web/wordpress/gallery2.
This is my virtual host in httpd.conf:
You see? What do you want me to do now that I is about to install it all again?
Posts: 492
Ahh, that's what's messing it up. Please delete that virtual host.
To have your blog at another address than where it is actually installed, you need to follow these directions: http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
Then install G2 at c:\web\gallery2
Your WordPress address (URL) will be http://www.fjelldal.org/wordpress
Your Blog address (URL) will be http://www.fjelldal.org

How am I supposed to install wordpress on www.fjelldal.org when I can´t reach c:/web/wordpress on www.fjelldal.org while my virtual host is no longer there? do I need another vhost?
Posts: 492
Sorry, make it refer to your web root:
Then c:\web\wordpress will be http://www.fjelldal.org/wordpress

Okay, I´ve done the following:
used your vhost-example
installed wordpress on www.fjelldal.org/wordpress (c:/web/wordpress)
changed blog url to www.fjelldal.org (wordpress url still www.fjelldal.org/wordpress
copied index.php and .htaccess in my root.
edited index.php
Now, look at www.fjelldal.org
What up?..
Edit: Also tried to install wordpress in my root (c:/web), then move core files to /wordpress, and change wordpress url to www.fjelldal.org/wordpress. copied and changed index.php and .htaccess aswell, page still looks the same, no css, nothing works..

Try updating your permalinks.

Okay, this is the exact prosedure I´m doing right now:
1. Extracts wordpress files in c:/web
2. Installs wordpress via www.fjelldal.org (vhost points www.fjelldal.org -> c:/web)
3. Logging in as admin
4. Changing permalinks to Date and name based
5. Create a folder "wordpress" in c:/web
6. Changing WordPress address (URL) to http://www.fjelldal.org/wordpress, and leaving Blog address (URL) at http://www.fjelldal.org
7. Hit the update button. I get a page with no css and nothing..
www.fjelldal.org suddenly have no css or anything, cannot access wp-admin or anything.
8. Moving all wordpress files to c:/web/wordpress folder, copy over .htaccess and index.php to c:/web.
9. Editing index.php.
10. Still nothing works on www.fjelldal.org. No CSS, no nothing. Can access wp-admin from www.fjelldal.org/wordpress/wp-admin though, but nothing else.
11. Trying to update permalinks from www.fjelldal.org/wordpress/wp-admin, no success.
This has become a much bigger issue then expected.. :/

Extract the wordpress files in c:\web\wordpress. (If you do it in c:\web and then move it, it won't work.)
Then move index.php to c:\web and do the rest per the instructions.
(My family website runs this way, so I know it works. Just gotta get the steps exactly right...)

There seems to be a problem with the standard theme in wordpress while doing this prosedure, changing the theme before starting it, makes it work.
Ok, so i got wordpress url : www.fjelldal.org/wordpress, and blog url : www.fjelldal.org, everything working so far, accuratly installed according to your post.
Permalinks activated.
Now, there´s the wpg2 part (which is my original problem!)
I´ve extracted g2 in c:/web/gallery2, and installed via www.fjelldal.org/gallery2
(Should I activate mod_rewrite on the gallery now, because it can be done, or wait?)
Installed and activated wpg2
BUT AGAIN, WHEN PRESSING THE REWRITE BUTTON;
And I get a 500 Internal server error, and a .htaccessfile that looks like this in my C: :
# BEGIN Url Rewrite section # (Automatically generated. Do not edit this section) <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} gallery\_remote2\.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !wpg2$ RewriteRule . - [L] RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} d/([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)/([^/?]+)(\?.|\ .) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !wpg2$ RewriteRule . /gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=%1&g2_serialNumber=%2&g2_fileName=%3 [QSA,L] RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} v/([^?]+)(\?.|\ .) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !wpg2$ RewriteRule . /wordpress/wp-admin/admin.php?page=/wpg2&g2_path=%1 [QSA,L] </IfModule> # END Url Rewrite sectionThis was with mod_rewrite enabled in the gallery beforehand. If I don´t install it in the gallery before pressing the Gallery Rewrite-button, I get the same message, but no 500 error nor .htaccessfile. When I THEN try to install and enable it in the gallery, I get the same 500 error and the same .htaccessfile in my C:.
OH MY GOD WHAT IS SO FREAKING WRONG??

I can see your problem, the rewritebase has not been set (it is blank). I suspect Gallery2 rewrite module is struggling to construct a ruleset to match your hosting environment thus why the 500.
Can you please check your error_log to see what exactly the 500 error condition is..

I always have fun with Apache on Windows too
I always make WordPress and Gallery work well without any mod_rewrite fun; then start hacking around to make it all look pretty.
While I'm integrating stuff and hacking around with the look and feel there's too much that can go wrong.
I've successfully got about a dozen blogs; four with G2 integration; running on a single box. It's SUSE Linux with Apache 2.2, PHP5, MySQL and the usual stuff.
Can you get the rewrite working for the two independent pieces - WP and G2? Before any integration work?

We have had many a issue with Apache rewrites, thus why by default WPG2 disables the module unless the configuration step is take to turn it on. IT is very very tricky to balance Wordpress permalinks with Gallery2 rewrite rules, until 3.0 we could not use an internal Wordpress page because of rewrites breaking each other, it been a very very painful task to get it stable and I am not 100% we will be able to make it work for all types of installs..

Hi,
I cannot get Gallery2 Permalinks to work without breaking all links in my WordPress site.
1. activate plugin WPG2
2. validate address to Gallery2
WPG2 Validation Check: Valid (Help)
1. Wordpress Compatible? - [ Success]
2. URI to Gallery2 Ok? - [Success]
3. Gallery2 can be located in G2 File Path? - [Success]
4. Gallery2 can be initialised? - [Success]
5. Gallery2 Version Compatible? - [Success]
6. Gallery2 Module: ImageBlock Active? - [Success]
7. Gallery2 Module: ImageBlock Version Compatible? - [Success]
8. Gallery2 Module: ImageFrame Active? - [Success]
9. Gallery2 to WPG2 Relative Path Validate? - [Success]
WPG2 Page Generation Rules: (View WPG2 Output Page »)
1. WPG2 Output Style? - [Look like a Gallery2 Page]
2. WPG2 Gallery2 Rewrites Status? - [Off [Safe]]
3. Embedded Page is using what Header type? - [Simple]
4. Embedded Page is using what Footer type? - [Simple]
5. Using Which WPG2 Stylesheet? - [Internal]
Everything works fine at this point.
Then if I activate the re-write Plugin, the Gallery2 permalinks become 'pretty', but every single link in my wordpress site no longer works - and reverts to a Gallery2 page.
I then have to deactivate plugin, clean-out .htaccess and start over to get things working again.
I've tried updating the permalinks in Wordpress - without success
and setting Gallery2 to write the permalinks - but that gives the admin error as WordPress explains.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately their is very little we can do to help with most rewrite issues as the success or failure is highly dependant on the many configuration options that make up the Hosting Environment, thus this is something we ultimately have no control over..
My recommendations would be to please ensure that you use the default Gallery2 rewrite rules, unless you have a pretty clear understanding of how your change will impact the rewrite rule, as changing the Rewrite Rules is which is the usual first place that things get "unstuck"
WPG2 3.06 has an advanced debug logging capability, if you want, please post the BTEV event log from when you visit the WPG2 Gallery2 Rewrite Validation Tab, including activation as the log will have a number of key settings that could help pin pointing certain behaviours.

This may be 2 months old, but did you check your httpd error log? What probably was happening, was that permissions were incorrect to run the rewrite command. That is the same issue that I had and I just had to set the ModifyOptions to all.
