Greetings ! I have a project that has php index.php file in /htdocs. Also include files like dboperaitons.php, config.php and css file also in /htdocs/themes. Now I set up New site in dreamweaver opened the index.php file, it is running fine , but when I click on properties and ry to add or modify css property from dreamweaver, it gives me error saying unable to open file http://localhost/themes/en.css file because it is not found in the hard disk.
1. Why is it searching for file as http://localhost instead of c:/xampp/themes.
2. It says en.css file is remote file and cannot be edited.
How can I resolve this. Please guide.
you can fix this problem by browsing the file manually from its location.
When you define a site in Dreamweaver you need to make sure you set up both the local and remote locations in order for it to know where files are. It sounds like you have not defined the local site folders properly and DW is confused about where things go.

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 know this is a security threat and is bad from a security aspect alltogether, but for a specific reason, i need this to work. I have a program running on Ubuntu 16.04. Let's say for this example, that it's a DNS server or whatever.
What i'm trying to do, is edit the DNS server configuration file, located in /etc/xxx from a web page, which is using PHP fopen, fwrite and fclose. Because you can't access a file directly located in /etc/xxx/somecfg.cfg anyways, since it doesn't have www-data permissions, i've tried linking it to /var/www/html, both soft and hard linking it. When i create a hard link, it changes the original cfg file too if i edit it by hand, but as soon as i edit it via PHP, only the hard-link file changes, but not the original file.
I've been trying to fix this during the weekend but i can't seem to be able to do it.
Does anyone have an idea on how i would go about fixing this? I'm open to other ideas too. The main goal is to edit a package configuration file from within a web page.
TL;DR: I'm trying to edit a config file in /etc/xxx from /var/www/html/someaction.php and doing it directly doesn't work (obviously), but hard links and soft links are acting weird - the links' content changes, but the original cfg file doesn't.
Thanks!
The issue was that i accidentally put unlink at the beginning of the code and the hard link was deleted, so i basically made a new file each time i wrote to it.
It's fixed now.
I am trying to upload my new website (codeigniter project) to the server. .htaccess file is used in my project and it is working properly in localhost. Also, i can upload the file too, but after uploading, it is not working. I always need to add the 'index.php' in url. I can't see the .htaccess file and when i trying to upload it again, it is showing the message, the file is alredy exist. Do anyone know the reason?
Try using FileZilla and enable hidden files to be visible:
Open FileZilla FTP client.
From the Menu bar choose Server
Select Force Showing Hidden Files which should be the last option.
One other thing to check is if you're using Apache or Nginx because Nginx does not support the .htaccess file
I am using winSCP(FTP software) to upload my .htaccess. As you mentioned you are not able to view it. However when you try to create a new file through winScp, the file will be automatically loaded to your text editor.
I am not sure if other FTP software works the same.
The file exists, but is hidden.
Probably the user on whose log does not have permission to replace him.
remove .htaccess file from your server , but before make sure that that file is no more useful for you .
other way
open the hosting server .htaccess file in online editor of cpanel
now copy past your htaccess file codes which required to be change.
As mentioned in the comments, it could be that the server is running for example Nginx instead of Apache.
However, I think the most likely cause for the .htaccess file not having an effect is a configuration issue. It could be that .htaccess functionality is disabled either in config you can manage, or in the server's config.
Contact your webhost to resolve this issue.
Hi I want to put my website(web application in PHP) on a server of my school and it’s for a project for school. So I had read the instructions of my school where I had to put my source code. I had to put in a folder called ‘Html’ and according to my school that is used for php hosting. After putting my files in that folder I went to browse to my website.
But it doesn’t show me the website when I browse to it. Instead it had given me a error message, see link below:
http://i.imgur.com/dfYxc02.jpg
After reading the error message I thought it had something to do with this line of code in connect.php file:
mysql_connect('145.92.203.240', 'user', mypassword');
I thought that was looking fine, but I also tried “mysql_connect('localhost, 'user', mypassword');”, but I still receive the same error message.
Furthermore I had tried in “/etc/init.d” to restart apache. For this I used the following command:
apache2 –k restart
But I couldn’t restart apache because I don’t have permission.
I also had tried in “/var/www/localhost/htdocs” to show index.html on the browser. But that didn’t work as wel. I also couldn’t remove te index.html file and replace it with my source code.
Could someone please tell me the solution in steps?
Okay here we go:
You're trying to include a file and the location is wrong
For instance, require('config.php'); will assume the file is in the same folder as the script. require('./folder/config.php'); will assume the file is in the folder. So you may want to check exactly where connect.php is.
The error about include_path
It seems as if you have a var include_path defined somewhere, might want to check that out. If you migrated it, you need to change the var to the new location.
This is my first attempt at using a localhost while editing PHP website files (I'm a HTML girl, but have been asked to make some aesthetic changes to a PHP site).
I've installed XAMPP on my Mac already and configured it (as far as I know). MySQL Database, ProFTPD, and Apache Web Server are running. I've succeeded at viewing a simple index.php file from the htdocs files using localhost/index.php. I've placed the entire website directory (named newsite) inside the htdocs folder. When I attempt to view the website in Firefox or Safari via localhost/newsite/index.php I get this message in the browser:
Warning:
include_once(/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/inc/simplepie.inc):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/newsite/index.php on line 2
This is referring to a block of PHP at the beginning of the index.php document. I've checked, the simplepie.inc file is in file inc under file newsite. If I try go around it by commenting out that section of code and any related calls, the browser goes blank. Can anyone please tell me what else I need to do to just view these files via localhost?
Okay, this is simple but might be complex. So you state:
I've checked, the simplepie.inc file is in file inc under file
newsite.
And then the error states:
Warning:
include_once(/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/inc/simplepie.inc):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/newsite/index.php on line 2
So the error is being thrown because it is trying to read this file:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/inc/simplepie.inc
But it is located here:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/newsite/inc/simplepie.inc
What are the actual contents of that include_once?
Since you will probably be moving this site from one place to another, I recommend doing this. I am assuming I know what your include_once looks like, but the general concept holds true.
First, in your index.php or main config/init file (if you have one) add this line:
$BASE_PATH='/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/newsite';
Then for your include_once change it to read:
include_once($BASE_PATH . '/inc/simplepie.inc');
Basically that will do the equivalent of changing the include_once to this:
include_once('/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/newsite/inc/simplepie.inc');
But the flexibility of using $BASE_PATH is it allows you to change the general site $BASE_PATH in one place & then use it wherever in your site you wish.
