Step by step sample login application

[Shraddha Bandekar]

Hi i am new to apostrophe and configured it successfully on my ubuntu
machine. It would be great help if someone could post a step by step
guide to create a simple login page in apostrophe explaining the code.

[Tom Boutell]

Hmmm, have you not already logged into your apostrophe sandbox site?

Hi I am able to get the index page for demo site properly. Only issue is none of the links work and m unable to login. Mod Rewrite is already enabled

[Tom Boutell]

Maybe you tried to stick it in a subdirectory of another site?

No it lies in /var/www/asandbox

[Fotis Paraskevopoulos]

Hello Shraddha,

You need to set /var/www/asandbox/web as your hosts root, from what I can gather your web root at the moment is /var/www and so your site will be available under http://localhost/asandbox which is not recommended BTW.

Read up on proper host configuration for apostrophe in the installation manual and come back to us.

Best,

Fotis

[Shraddha Bandekar]

Thanks for quick replies. But the following is the content of my vhost file:

# Be sure to only have this line once in your configuration     

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80      

# This is the configuration for cmstest     

Listen 127.0.0.1:80

ServerName localhost     

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>       

DocumentRoot "/var/www/asandbox/web"       

DirectoryIndex index.php      

 <Directory "/var/www/asandbox/web">         

AllowOverride All         

Allow from All

RewriteEngine on       

</Directory>         

 Alias /sf "/var/www/asandbox/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf"      

 <Directory "/var/www/asandbox/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf">         

AllowOverride All         

Allow from All       

</Directory>     

</VirtualHost>

Currently I lost the css also for the web/index page and still unable to use the login or other links. I am new to symfony and apostrophe. And need this working fast for my current project. I have gone through the tutorials. But any further help would be great to start off quickly with my new project. 

[Tom Boutell]

Odd. You do seem to be doing it right.

What's in web/.htaccess?

Do you have symlinks to the various plugins' web folders in the main
web folder or are they missing somehow?

The lack of any CSS is suspicious.

What's in your PHP/apache error log?

[Shraddha Bandekar]

The symlinks for plugins do exist in the main web folder

The message in error log says File does not exist: /var/www/asandbox/web/sf, referer: http://localhost/asandbox/web/frontend_dev.php

Please can I have ur gtalk/skype id? For faster help.

[Justen Doherty]

try changing the " ServerName localhost  " to something like " ServerName dev-apostrophe"  

and make an entry in your local hosts (/etc/hosts) with the following: 

127.0.0.1 dev-apostrophe 

i suspect using "localhost" in your apache config might be causing problems..

[Shraddha Bandekar]

Later should I access the project as dev-apostrophe/asandbox/web? or using localhost/asandbox/web?

[Shraddha Bandekar]

@Justen I tried with the steps and both the links above but it did not work.

[Shraddha Bandekar]

Hi, Now I did a fresh install exactly following the steps in the apostrophe manual. Without modifying the vhost.sample. Only edited /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file to include ServerName localhost. Now I am able to get the index page perfectly with css. But still unable to open any links. Gives a page not found error. 

[Shraddha Bandekar]

It would be of great help! if your support team could take a remote access of the machine and check with the settings.

[Tom Boutell]

Try those links with:

http://localhost/index.php/about

Rather than just:

http://localhost/about

If the first works, then you have a mod_rewrite issue with .htaccess
being ignored or rewrites not really working, because that's exactly
what the rewrite rules are meant to address.

You might need to comment out or uncomment the RewriteBase / line in
.htaccess (if anyone knows why this is essential on some platforms and
the kiss of death on others, I'm all ears).

[Shraddha Bandekar]

WOW THE FIRST ONE WORKS. But I do have the .htaccess file under asandbox/web and it contains the line RewriteEngine On. Also  sudo a2enmod rewrite  command gives rewrite is enabled message.

[Tom Boutell]

I think AllowOverride is somehow not working. What's your latest httpd.conf?

On Fri, Aug 24, 2012 at 9:02 AM, Shraddha Bandekar

[Shraddha Bandekar]

Just got it working :). Modifed 000-deafult file in sites-enabled and changed AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All. THANKS A TON FOR ALL THE INSTANT HELP! GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

[shraddha bandekar]

Jus one more thing. I am unbale to view the edit or other button
images after login in. Also after selecting an image for the logo. It
shows d space blank instead of showing the selected image.

Was trying to download and run an existing apostrophe project. But gives the following error when tring to execute web/index.php

500 | Internal Server Error | sfException

Attempt to generate aRoute URL for module signup with no matching engine page on the site

[Tom Boutell]

signup is not one of our modules. Please consult the person who built
the app in question.

(The error message you mention appears when a site tries to generate
links to an engine module and there are no pages using that engine
already in the database, thus nowhere to link to.)

[shraddha bandekar]

How do we set the base url for apostrophe?
