Hello,

We know there is a problem with the following page, but cannot find the error/cause of the error.

the home page of tech-forums.net produces or causes this error:

File does not exist: /public_html/forum/=


If you can do a view source and try to "find" the reason/cause/exact line where or why the error occurrs....

YOU ARE THE MAN or WOMEN!!!!!

and we will be MOST thankful to you for finding this problem!

Thanks
Larry

Where ever it is it is looking for a file. If you take the public_html/ away it should work.

That directory is assume when your working with your site in apache. I certainly don't see the error though.

[Larry]

tell me about it....

I looked and looked, can't find jack!!!

It has to be an image, file, link, something, somewhere that is causing that error

Larry,

I assume you're using apache to host the site, if so this problem usually is caused by the browser thinking the page it's viewing is in one forum/category when in fact the source is elsewhere. I think this is related to the rewrite rules.

Try using absolute paths.

Example:

[img]/forum/images/file.jpg[/img]

not

[img]images/file.jpg[/img]


Just one possibility, I don't work with Apache allot but I have come across a similar issue and this helped solve the problem.

I think changing the paths will be a big pain... especially since the code in "include" include from other files, etc.

what gets me...
If you view source, cut and paste that code to any other server... the error still occurs?

[ekÆsine]

could it be that maybe its not the path thats wrong, but maybe the filename is wrong or the file got moved somewhere else??

[Larry]

it was like that before the more

after looking at the server logs, I think it maybe be both characters, not only the = sign.

because I've seen this error:

tech-forums.net//=

PS. I wish someone would find it

[BlazingWolf]

Where is is showing up live on the web I dont't ever see it there?

And I'm sure you need the actual files because the HTML source will do you nothing

Did you make any changes to the httpd.conf file?

[Larry]

uhm.... what do I look for in the httpd.conf file?

BlazingWolf,
if you view source, 1) you can see the "final" code/html
2) the view source code (even though not real) still causes the error

thanks
