Login problems

Hi all,

Perch seems top be redirecting to directories and not files eg: https://www.omlis.com/perch/ which brings us to a Forbidden message, if we change the URl to perch/index,php we are presented with the login screen, and when we hit login, we are redirected to /perch and get page not found?

We've added index.php to the Apache config file as a DirectoryIndex DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php

Do you know what might be up here?

Can you show me the diagnostics report?

Hiya Drew,

Thanks you so much for the reply...

https://www.omlis.com/perch/

But if we put

https://www.omlis.com/perch//index.php

Works fine?

But when we try to login it redirects us?

Also we have tried to access the diagnostics report but we cant login to get to it?

Any suggestions please?

Have you restarted apache since making your config change? The DirectoryIndex directive isn't working.

Should i raise a private ticket so you guys can investigate we are quite new to using perch and moving away from wordpress etc..

As i recall yes we did this, was one of the first things we thought of!

You need to get your server to a state where /perch/ resolves to /perch/index.php.

Ok drew we did a bit of digging around and found who ever setup the server in the first place did a terrible job lol Anyway we've managed to get everything working now thanks for the support!
