ramone_kalsaw Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Hello, I'm trying to accomplish two things: -- Trying to get my subdomain url to work ( http://www.eventteam.biom.net); and, -- Get this subdomain to work with the password protection I set up for this resource on my server. Note: My existing Weblog url is: http://www.biom.net/dojo.php/eventteam/index/ What I did: 1. I set up a subdomain on my server for my Expression Engine template group -- "eventteam" 2. Then, I "password protected" this subdomain folder. 3. I updated my "path.php" file with the following variables: $system_path = "./system_ramone/"; $template_group = "eventteam"; $template = "index"; $site_url = "http://www.biom.net"; $site_index = "dojo"; (Where "dojo" is what I renamed "index.php" as.) The Problem: When I enter the subdomain url -- http://www.eventteam.biom.net -- in my brower and click, I get a blank page. Right now I'm just confused. Before I try to dig deeper (and probably get real confused), can you give me some ideas regarding where I'm going off course. Thanks!! Quote
TCH-Rob Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 When I enter the subdomain url -- http://www.eventteam.biom.net -- in my browser and click, I get a blank page Right now when I click the link provided it asks for a password, is that what you wanted? Quote
ramone_kalsaw Posted June 10, 2004 Author Posted June 10, 2004 Hey Rob, A password prompt is the behavior I'm looking for. It's just that I don't see it . After emtying my cache and cookies, I'm still getting a blank page. Any ideas? Quote
LisaJill Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 I just get a blank page too, and there is no way that it is cached.... has this ever worked, ramone? You may want to try recreating the protection on that page, may just be a temporary glitch... also, if you remove it, does the page then work? Quote
TCH-Rob Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Lisa, The top link or the bottom link? The top link is malformed with ");/" at the end. Quote
ramone_kalsaw Posted June 10, 2004 Author Posted June 10, 2004 Hello Lisa! Good to "see" you again. Once again, I've journeyed forth from my plateau and find myself climbing the "learning curve" again ... Here's what's up: I have a subdirectory that I created on my domain called "eventteam." which I want to use to hold my EE template group. And while I'm in the "trial and error" phase of getting my index.php and path.php files figured out, it seems that there might be a more fundamental problem: Why can't I access my subdomain folder directory from http://eventteam.biom.net/ or http://www.biom.net/eventteam/? I removed the password protection, and I still come up with the blank page. Any ideas? Quote
TCH-Don Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 When I view the source I see <html><body></body></html> which is your blank page. try to place a page with something on it in the folder http://www.biom.net/eventteam/ Quote
LisaJill Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Have you already created the template group? What's in the index for it? Quote
ramone_kalsaw Posted June 10, 2004 Author Posted June 10, 2004 Thanks, Don, It's a good thing that I really don't get embarrased too easily. Though, I'm a firm believer in stating, and restating, the obvious -- because it isn't always that obvious. Thanks again. And now I'll continue my journey up the "learning curve." Quote
TCH-Don Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 I am sorry, I did not mean to embarrass you. I was thinking about the topic description "Subdomains Setup Not Working" And was trying to suggest that you try to place a different page in the /foldername to see if the subdomain was working. I should have added that. Quote
LisaJill Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 The problem is that these pages are dynamically generated by ExpressionEngine, there is not an actual file =) ramone - Rick posted that this may be a bug, just in case you didn't see his response on the EE forums. You did not mention if you had actually created that template group (at least I can't see it in reading all of these posts and I don't recall seeing it on the EE forum). I think that you probably did but if you did not that may be a problem. =) Quote
ramone_kalsaw Posted June 10, 2004 Author Posted June 10, 2004 Thanks for the follow up Don and Lisa: Don: What I implied as embarrassment was really a backdoor "a-ha!." I did start to wonder if my subdomain was working, and I did post a file there, and to my delight, saw that it was working. Thanks for helping me solve that part. Lisa: I did have the EE template group in place, and what was going on was (as I expected), I had to hammer away at getting the proper variables set up in my Path.php and Index.php in my subdomain so everything was pointed in the right direction. And: I AM SO GREATFUL YOU FOLKS ARE THERE TO HELP Quote
