I found OpenPhoto and decided that i'd give it a shot but I'm having some issues.
  1. I can't find any documentation on installing oauth on Bluehost
  2. I am getting a '/src/html/setup was not found on this server' message when go to my domain
For my first issues I looked on Bluehost's help and couldn't find anything regarding oauth. I did find a github pull request that mentioned it - "Bluehost has great documentation on this once you know what you're trying to do" by @FoolsRun here but I can't find any documentation anywhere.

The second issue I'm not convinced is unrelated to the first. Since I don't understand how dependent OP is on oauth I figured I need to get that figured out first.

Thanks in advance for any and all help... and if I figure this out I'm more than willing to help write some documentation on installing this on Bluehost...

Oauth is only a dependency if you want to use oauth apps (including our iphone/android app).

The 404 error you're getting seems to be 2 fold. Your document root should be .....src/html and you should have the appropriate rewrite rules enabled.

Thanks for the info on Oauth...

I do have the rewrite setup correctly though... feel free to check the page: photos.vincemitchell.me

It tries to go to photos.vincemitchell.me/setup and the error message says:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not Found

The requested URL /src/html/setup was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


Apache Server at photos.vincemitchell.me Port 80

------------------------------------------------------------------------


Thanks again for any and all help!

But it's going to /src/html/setup. That should just be /setup.

I'm not too well versed on my .htaccess files... Here is what I have...

  1. The domain is pointed to a subfolder called 'photos'
  2. I exactly what was in the shared hosting directions to a .htaccess file in the folder from #1
    • RewriteEngine on
    • RewriteBase /
    • RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^photos.vincemitchell.me$ [NC,OR]
    • RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !src/html/
    • RewriteRule (.*) /src/html/$1 [L]
  3. Now I'm getting a 500 error
    • Note: I had a typo in the .htaccess file in my url, it gives the Not Found if the url is wrong and the 500 when it's right
Thanks again!

500 is better than 404 in this case. Do you have access to the apache error logs?

I think this is the problem. /src/html should be the DocumentRoot, not
rewritten with the RewriteRule.

And the .htaccess should be in src/html

Hope that helps.

Logs on bluehost aren't the easiest to go through but it seems this is the error:

Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.

Hi Vince did you ever get to the bottom of this error message? Got the same one. Thanks.

I remember this being a bug in one of the older versions. Can you confirm how recent of a release/code you're using?

No, unfortunately I never did... and I'm in the process of moving away from Bluehost due to downtime I've had with them... Sorry

Just did a wget from github as per installation instructions, so latest stable I guess. I've posted a more detailed description of what I've done here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/openphoto/P8LGJs2R0GA
