I am using the gallery script piwigo on a domain hosted on a ISPC3 server (Apache2, Debian6) installed using Falko's How-To. I am confronted with strange problems. To enable SEO-friendly URLs in the gallery, I had to activate the following Apache directives: Code: AcceptPathInfo On Options +MultiViews But I get the following error in the error log: Does anyone know what could be the cause? I suppose it has something to do with ISPC3 default settings for websites or with default access rights, but I'm not sure.
I guess it has to do with the secure permissions of the web/ directory. Usually you can ignore such warnings.
Thank you Falko - the problem is that the SEO friendly links produce a 404 - so I can't completely ignore it.
I confess I did not - but I tried to put the Apache directives into Apache configuration, and the results were the same.
Solved! Apparently, multiviews requires higher file permissions when the webserver's user is not in the same group as the owner of the files. Setting file permissions to 750 solved my problem.
the problem came back... without me changing anything and inspite of everything being chmodded to 755. hmmm....
there were new files (templates, temp files, stats, etc.) that were being created by the webserver with 644 permissions - that disrupted multiviews. I got to find a solution around this.
