Are you on Linux or windows?

Did you do the necessary steps from http://www.authpuppy.org/doc/Getting_Started ?

Subject: [Question #183924]: redirection error at preinstall.php?step=3

New question #183924 on AuthPuppy:
https://answers.launchpad.net/authpuppy/+question/183924

I am trying to install the AuthPuppy to our church, I am running into some problems, I really need your help. I am a system admin, but not an apache admin.

Here is my server: Linux ccccsvr 2.6.18-274.12.1.el5. I used apache out of the box: no change at all for all the configurations. I can go to my page (http://<myserver>) without any problem.

I started aparche, copied authpuppy code into /var/www/html, then I pointed my URL to http://<myserver>/authpuppy/web/preinstall.php

It looks good for all the requirements(step 2), then I clicked the "Next" button, it redirected to the page: http://<myserver>/authpuppy/web/preinstall.php?step=3. That is when I got the following page:

========================
The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

    * This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
          cookies.
========================

Can somebody tell me what did I do wrong?

Thank you very much for your help.

Steve

I am running Linux.

I tried to follow that guide but it went nowhere. I always get 500 error. The httpd ssl log shows "RSA server certificate is a CA certificate". I could not figure out why I got that error. I gave up and directly used copy to under /var/www/html method.

I consider my self a good system admin, but never apache one. I really need help for the apache part. Please help me.

If I plan to use the apache for AuthPuppy only, can I just change httpd.conf to make it point to the authpuppy directory, instead of the virtualHost method which got me so confused?

So is your directory still: /var/www/authpuppy/web/ ? or is it /var/www/web/

The problem is you do need at least:
DocumentRoot /var/www/authpuppy/web
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory /var/www/authpuppy/web/>
               Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
               AllowOverride All
               Order allow,deny
               allow from all
       </Directory>

       Alias /sf /var/www/authpuppy/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf
       <Directory "/var/www/authpuppy/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf">
               AllowOverride All
               Allow from All
       </Directory>

Or a variation of in httpd.conf, otherwise it wont work!

I see no reason this needs to be enclosed in a virtual host, but I don't see that being the problem (although I am no linux guru!)

The ssl error might be http://www.question-defense.com/2008/10/26/rsa-server-certificate-is-a-ca-certificate-basicconstraints-ca-true ?

Question #183924 on AuthPuppy changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/authpuppy/+question/183924

youngnilly gave more information on the question:
If I plan to use the apache for AuthPuppy only, can I just change httpd.conf to make it point to the authpuppy directory, instead of the virtualHost method which got me so confused?

You received this question notification because you are an answer contact for AuthPuppy.

be careful with my answer above though as it is not a standard httpd.conf file, just one i found on google!

Hi Robin, I decided to not use virtual host, and used what you suggested at the first reply. It was still not working. Then I wiped out the authpuppy code I downloaded and untar'ed a new set. It worked out of the box!

This problem is now solved.

Thank you very much.This is a great site!

Robin,

Why using a complex http.conf from google. I thought i was missing a lot of thing in my own http.conf file. I have the same problem too. I can go there: http://localhost/authpuppy/web/preinstall.php?step=2 but when i go the step 3 (http://localhost/authpuppy/web/install/3 in fact) i get this error /authpuppy/web/install/3 was not found on this server.

My httpd.conf is :

ServerName localhost
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080

# This is the configuration for your project
Listen 127.0.0.1:8080

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080>
       ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
       ServerName authpuppy.localhost
       ServerAlias authpuppy.test

       DocumentRoot /var/www/authpuppy/web
       DirectoryIndex index.php
       <Directory /var/www/authpuppy/web/>
               Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
               AllowOverride All
               Order allow,deny
               allow from all
       </Directory>

       Alias /sf /var/www/authpuppy/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf
       <Directory "/var/www/authpuppy/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf">
               AllowOverride All
               Allow from All
       </Directory>

       ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/authpuppy/error.log

       # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
       # alert, emerg.
       LogLevel warn

       CustomLog /var/log/apache2/authpuppy/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Andrei,

From your config file, you shouldn't access your authpuppy server with this url http://localhost/authpuppy/web/preinstall.php?step=2 because this way it is not using the symfony configuration at all.

Given your apache configuration, you should use http://authpuppy.localhost:8080 instead. Make sure you have a host somewhere that says authpuppy.localhost points to 127.0.0.1

Thanks a lot ! It does work that way. Thanks !
