Archives dead because of unknown server change??

[marcderooij]

Hi!

My s9y blog has a problem with the archives. The server has been changed a bit, and since then all my archives are dead. The problem is that we cannot find what is causing this.

First, the site is http://sandcat.nl/~marc/blog/. I'm using s9y 0.8.1 with Apache/2.0.54 (FreeBSD) PHP/4.3.10. Mod_rewrite is installed, just like it was before. More server info on http://sandcat.nl/~marc/info.php.

The frontpage works, and expanding an entry works fine (the url looks like .../blog/archives/37-Koffers-pakken.html). However, the links from the archives plugin (that look like .../blog/archives/2005/05.html or .../blog/archives/2005/02/16.html) don't work, I get the frontpage.

This problem is the same with the "URL Rewriting" setting on "mod_rewrite", "errorhandling" or even on "disable"

As I said, there were changes in the webserver configuration. However, we cannot determine what might be causing this problem. We can change the server's settings, but everything should be working??? Please help..

Try to set URL rewriting to "None" and temporarily remove your .htaccess file.

If it works then, there's a problem with URL Rewriting and we can try to fix it together. If not, there's another problem to look at.

I've disabeled URL rewriting and deleted the .htaccess file, no solution..

Hm. It may then be a problem of your serendipity path settings.

Check if all path directory settings have a "/" at the end, especially the serendipityHTTPPath variable?

And tell me which sidebar+event plugins you've got installed.

Hi again, these are the path settings from serendipity (haven't changed these):

• Full path: /local/home/marc/.html/blog/
  Upload path: uploads/
  Relative path: /~marc/blog/
  Relative template path: templates/
  Relative upload path: uploads/
  URL to blog: http://sandcat.nl/~marc/blog/
  Autodetect used HTTP-Host: No
  Index file: index.php

Looks okay to me. I checked if the paths on the server had changed, but it doesn't seem so:

Code: Select all

marc@sandcat: ~/.html/blog> pwd
/local/home/marc/.html/blog

I have a few plugins: Sidebar Plugins

• Archives
  Weather
  Syndicate This Blog
  HTML Nugget

Event Plugins

• Fix common XHTML errors
  Markup: Serendipity
  Markup: Emoticate
  Markup: NL2BR
  Spam Protector
  Browser Compatibility

The weird thing is that all of this worked fine before...

Hm, okay. All your plugins are non-critical and the path settings perfectly right.

Then it really seems a weird server issue. Can you ask the provider what they changed? Maybe they installed a mod_security or other apache module that makes problems?

If you'd be able to give me temporary FTP access to your blog I could do some debugging?
