Getting 404 error on login page

edited February 2016 in Troubleshooting

Hello,
I operated according to the instructions for Sendy installation:

 /*  MySQL database connection credentials (please place values between the apostrophes) */
    $dbHost = 'localhost'; //MySQL Hostname
    $dbUser = 'xxxxx_root'; //MySQL Username
    $dbPass = xxxxxx'; //MySQL Password
    $dbName = xxxxx_sendy'; //MySQL Database Name

the DB was created with the above credentials and the $dbuser got full admin permissions to the DB.

I also supplied the URL and email as required.
.htaccess was uploaded with the RewriteEngine On.
I always get 404 error on login.
I have applied the configuration checking with the following results:

 Your PHP version is 5.6.17
 mysqli extension is installed
 mod_rewrite is not enabled
 display_errors is turned off
 hash is enabled
 curl is enabled
 gettext is enabled
 curl_exec is enabled
 curl_multi_exec is enabled

 Score: 8/9

I checked with my hosting provider and he assured me that mod_rewrite is enabled. (I am sure it is - no problems with my other websites on this host)
I continuously get 404 error on login.
Any idea?

  • I moved my Sendy installation to be in a subdomain. Now the result is a loop. The program tries to redirect in a loop.

    I logged in to your server with the FTP credentials you've provided and check the .htaccess file on your /sendy/ directory and saw that it is not Sendy's .htaccess file. You've replaced it with something else.

    I restored the .htaccess to Sendy's original .htaccess file and it's working now.

    Don't modify any of Sendy's code or replace any of Sendy's scripts with something else.

    Thanks.

    Best regards,
    Ben

  • Thanks a lot Ben!
