I recently suscribed to a 1and1 hosting contract. I've been having issues to display my website, so I tried to put some very basic pages online in order to tell wether the issue was in my file or on the server side.
The homepage is named index.php and has a link to another page (page1.html) that is supposed to display a "Hello World".`
Clique
The homepage is online but there are some issues.
The homepage only works when it's called index.php and doesn't work when it's called index.html.
When I click on "Clique", the url changes to mywebsite.com/page1.html but the content is still "Clique" while it should be "Hello World".Also, the CSS file isn't read.
I've read a lot of threads dealing with similar issues and apparently it might be a problem with the .htaccess file. I don't have a .htaccess in the folder where my files are and I don't know much about how it works. Also, the CHMOD is 705 for both files.
Maybe try the 1and1 support for this issue.
I don't think this is the right place to ask.
Do you have root access, or just FTP.
If there is no .htpasswd, try uploading one.
A generator which will help you is just one google away.

I've got a legacy PHP project to fix a thing or two. I've downloaded it via FileZilla and served it on my local machine with a local copy of the database. The project is exactly the same with the live one, yet the live one can open the url/contact.html but on my machine it says no such file is found. All other pages go for url/categories/ or url/products/ so I've tried altering the url but no use.
All the other pages within the site are simple: one .php controller one .php model and one .tpl smarty template view. Requiring no .html at all. But this one is somehow different. The .htaccess file is exactly the same as the live version. I've tried adding a rewrite rule to direct every .html to .php but didn't work. I'm lost and out of options, please help? It doesn't even have to be an answer,"Try looking into that" would work too.
I'm working via XAMPP on windows, and I've configured the https:// to http:// on my project but that's all. Even hidden files are checked and confirmed.
have checked that contact.html is a static file (like a real existing html file?)
is there some kind of "routing" within the PHP of the project? If there is route urls might be really anyware.. in the mysql database, redis, a json file and whatnot.. have seen them all.
try to debug where and how it works on the "production" server by using some logging to a file edit the file through filezilla and log to a 'mylog.log' file until you find out what is going on.. or if the site is not used all the time by clients - you can just try to echo stuff to figure out how this exact /contact.html works
I would like to change the theme file through the Wordpress Admin Panel, in menu Appearance > Theme Editor, but I've got the message:
Something went wrong. Your change may not have been saved. Please try again. There is also a chance that you may need to manually fix and upload the file over FTP.
Everything was working correctly before I've made some changes in the file and upload it through the FTP back to the server. I am able to change every other file in Theme Editor, but this one. The rights are the same as in other files I am able to change, the owner and group are the same too. It looks that everything should work, but this and only this one file I have updated via FTP I am not able to change through the Theme Editor of Wordpress Admin Panel.
Any idea what could be possibly wrong? What I have done wrong? Please help me somebody, in the most of the time I am on the "safe" network, and the server FTP is not accessible from my computer.
Thank you.
Check Theme Permission
One of the first things you got to check the theme files and folder permissions.
If you are running on shared hosting then mostly it would be alright. However, if using VPS or Cloud then you got to ensure the same user owns theme files as web server (Nginx or Apache HTTP) running.
Modify File Permissions with chmod
FYR :- https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/tools/modify-file-permissions-with-chmod/
Check Security Plugins
Are you using any security plugins? Do you have the option to check their logs to see how exactly your request is being treated?
Alternatively, you can quickly disable the security plugin and verify if that works.
I have finally solved the problem. There were two things with I have mislead my question.
The first one was that I wrote "Everything was working correctly before I've made some changes in the file and upload it through the FTP" and after that I wrote it again in the comment of the answer - I was so sure that I have tried the same file before, but I have not, it definitely was another one, I am sorry.
And the second was that I did not write specific file name. The file was includes/_wp_utils.php. Somebody would maybe notice that this is the biggest file in that directory. And that was the problem. I do not know why - maybe it was too big for server processing or something else (120KB), but I noticed it later, and I have tried to split the file to a few smaller files and I have included them into the includes/_wp_utils.php with the command include_once __DIR__ . '/_wp_utils/_nth_part_of_original_wp_utils.php';.
Thank you #G.D Udara Lahiru Sampath, I absolutely liked your answer. It was useful and very important to check.
I have a static html website that I need to convert to Wordpress. I was able to successfully load wordpress on my hosting and configured a theme. However, the front end still displays the original html page. I need the whole website to be converted to wordpress, but I can't figure out where to add the htaccess and index.php files as I read from a blog. Someone help out.
Thanks
Sam
1) you're kind of asking for the whole of how the internet operates. I'm not saying that to be confrontational, just know that you'll likely be downvoted for such an impossible question.
2) more to the point, your server is looking for a directory index. In general, most servers look for index.html, index.htm, index.php, and then others, but in that order. If it encounters index.html in your directory then it stops and says that is the file to load.
3) you can get around this by changing the name of your file.
"index.html" -> "index_OLD.html" (or any name not index.html)
4) you can also change the way your server processes the index order using the DirectoryIndex directive in your HTAccess file. Ask your hosting provider about how to do this and if it's supported (although, I don't recommend you do this, it's just an available option).
5) your wordpress install should be in the root directory. That is to say, your .htaccess and index.php files should live in the same directory that your current index.html file lives in. Once the html file has a different name, the server will locate the php file and use it to server up as the directory index.
6) good luck friend!
We recently have adquired the credentials to fully play with our website hosted outside.
So we need to mount it locally on a XAMPP stack to fully deploy the site and asociated database.
It've been already done, and everything seems to work properly except for the images in the site.
It is a DRUPAL site. Some images are "full path coded", so they work as we can expect, but major of them are just relative path coded.
Now, I've everything mounted on localhost. Let's say the folder with the site it's called "web".
Then i've everything on:
c:/xampp/htdocs/web/.......
So I access to it via: http://localhost/web/
I've tested that all the non viewing images, if I append the "http://localhost/web/" on the 'src="/site/..."' they are accessible and look right.
So, is there a way to via .htaccess add the "http://localhost/web/" on those URLs who hasn't it? It doesn't only happens with images, it's just related with all the links, urls, srcs, whatever which is just "relative pathed".
I've already tried the "RewriteBase /web", but it doesn't work.
Need help to solve this so, please.
In summarize, the site online is just mounted on the root, so everything works, fully or just relativetly pathed. But in my case, I've got the development site inside a folder, so I need it to work too!
Much appreciated.
If this is a Drupal 7 site (might work for Drupal 6) make sure you have a tmp directory set. Go to admin/config/media/file-system and look for the temporary directory. Also confirm that you have this directory on your root, which for XAMPP is the htdocs folder.
This might be a file permission that can be caused by incorrect .htaccess settings (This link may help: https://www.drupal.org/node/2140629) in the folder set as your temporary directory.
This may also be a document root error. You can change that by editing the DocumentRoot setting in C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf.

I am very new to php (in fact about 2 days old). After getting ripped off by my last webhost I have decided to move my website to a different host. A friend has been helping me do this as he has a little info but we are now stuck and I have tried finding a soloution on google but most answers are way over my head. My site is a php site with a mysql database. We have moved the database and ftp'd the site and everything is now working on the new server except one thing - my site was designed originally to use clean urls? When I go to my shop page (ie: mywebsite.com and click on the shop link - mywebsite.com/shop/ (shows in the bottom left of my browser) I get a page not found error, yet when I type in the url mywebsite.com/shop.php the page displays fine. In addition, if I go to mywebsite.com/shop/shoes/ (another link which shows the preceding link in the bottom left hand corner) I get a page not found error. Also if I type in mywebsite.com/shop/shoes.php in the address bar I also get a page not found error even though the page shoes.php exists on the ftp server in a folder called templates - if I go to mywebsite.com/templates/shoes.php it shows up) I understand this is called clean urls and I need to add an .htaccess file to sort out the issue. I have looked on the ftp area of my old host and cannot find this file but have been told it is probably hidden. I have been told by my new provider that mod-rewrite is available on the server but I have no idea how to write this htaccess file. Can anyone please give me a step by step on how to do this as I am not a coder.
Additional Details
I have the following files in my root directory: index.php, shop.php, checkout.php, completed.php, contact.php ... I then have a folder called templates and in this folder I have: shoes.php. clothes.php, coats.php ...
The issue I am having is that most of the php files in my root directory already have href-links? pointing to places like mysite.com/shop/ and mysite.com/shop/shoes/ so when I open up the home page in my browser and hover over the links these are the addresses I see and when I click on the links I get page not found as the borwser must be looking for the links in the wrong place. (these links worked fine however on the last host I used). I understand I need an htaccess file to re-direct these links to the correct places. - ie the link for mysite.com/shop/shoes/ is actually linking to a page called shoes.php located in root/templates. I understand this method was used to tidy up the urls?? ie: instead of having mysite.com/templates/shoes.php the urls shows mysite.com/shop/shoes/. I have looked at the code within some of the php pages in the root and they all have lots of links to these 'false' addresses - ie: mysite.com/shop/shoes/ when the actual file should be at mysite.com/templates/shoes.php. I don't want to go through each file one at a time as they are hundreds of links, thus the reason for trying to make this htaccess file. Thanks for your time, Dave
Try to find an option on your FTP client software to show hidden files.
The name of this file is .htaccess (dot htaccess), that is probably the reason you're not seeing it. If the old site is working then the file is probably there. You could also contact somebody to send you the file via e-mail, IM, etc.
You do not need mod_rewrite or .htaccess for this.
Turn on multiviews in your Apache configuration. This will allow you to omit the .php extension from your URLs.
