SOLVED - Create new account error

Submitted by Guest on Wed, 10/10/2012 - 06:02

Hello,

emoncms3 is running. The database is set correctly and the login page is there. When I click on "Register" there will be an error:

The requested URL /openenergy/user/create was not found on this server

Are there any file permissions to set?

Thanks

Best regards

Michael

Hello Michael, this sounds like mod_rewrite is not enabled, see step 4 here: http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/emoncms/installing-ubuntu-debian-pi

mod_rewrite is required because user/create is not actually a directory but using mod_rewrite it is converted to a query such as emoncms.org?q=user/create, the application then creates the page accordingly. Without mod rewrite it will try and find a file called create in folder user and as that does not exist it will give the not found error.

Hi Trystan,

the webspace where I install emoncms3 is hosted by Strato. Also the MySQL-Server. How can I enable mod_rewrite?

Okay I found that not every Strato packet support mod_rewrite. I try to contact the Strato support.

Post my results as soon as possible

Looks like the same error that you, boxer_ian and StuntMonkeh are having:

I have just tested it again to check my sanity and it is working for me. Does account creation on emoncms.org work for you? feel free to create a dummy account.

Hi,

I am added a .htaccess file to the directory which switch on mode_rewrite. Now it work.
