Insert Web Link in default WYSIWYG editor gives 404

Post by larryoo »

I am new to s9y. I am redoing a static site with s9y. Everything is working well and I love s9y so far. Been trying out most CMS by varying them with each project.

Anyway, in my default WYSIWYG editor (Xiha something?), when I highlight a word and click "Insert Web Link", I get a 404 page not found error which is no entry point found page. The url for 404 error showing is http://www.mydomain.com/htmlarea/module ... /link.html. I did verify that it exists. All permissions are correct. Now, the thing is I think it was working before.

I have even tried FCKEditor, TinyMCE, etc and of course they don't even show up at all, even after checking source and making sure the appropriate js scripts are reachable . I've made sure I set all the paths correctly and set use wysiwyg in my profile. No luck with them.

I am using Nginx web server with url rewrite on, running on Postgresql, PHP 5.3.9. Everything else is running correctly. If it is up to me, I am not even going to bother with this and just use non-wysiwyg. However, I would like this to be working when I turn over to customer. Appreciate the help and pointers on getting at least one wysiwyg editor working 100%. Thank you.

Just wanted to update that I have found where the problem is. It is in .htaccess Apache mod_rewrite to Nginx rewrite conversion. For some reason, all the rewrite statements that I found online and in the forum for Nginx may not be working 100%, with some quarks remaining here and there. Once I turned off mod_rewrite, everything is working well. For now, it will be sufficient for me since s9y's urls look the best among dynamic. The project is already over the budget, so I am not going to spend more time troubleshooting the rewrite conversion. Thanks. Please keep up the good work. Hope this information will be somewhat useful for somebody.
