FreeLists / dokuwiki / [dokuwiki] Re: Can no longer access DokuWiki

["tom corcoran" <osssoftware@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the tip. Had to lookup what that was. I did not change it
knowingly, it's a recent clean install of ubuntu gutsy server I am using.

Looking at webmin the server pid file was set to  /var/run/apache2.pid...I
put it to default but that did not make a difference..I'm stabbing in the
dark, not knowing what I am doing really...

That reminds me the one thing I did was I installed a dokuwiki package via
aptitude that i think installed apache2...this was before I just downloaded
the tar and got dokuwiki working fine. I think this package added
apache2-default directory to my /var/www/, I deleted it the other day when I
was trying to solve this problem but that did not help either.

There was a hidden .htaccess file in /var/www (see below), which I deleted,
but that did not help.

Thanks, Tom.

/var/www/.htaccess:

## Enable this to restrict editing to logged in users only

## You should disable Indexes and MultiViews either here or in the
## global config. Symlinks maybe needed for URL rewriting.
#Options -Indexes -MultiViews +FollowSymLinks

## make sure nobody gets the htaccess files
<Files ~ "^[\._]ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy All
</Files>

## Uncomment these rules if you want to have nice URLs using
## $conf['userewrite'] = 1 - not needed for rewrite mode 2
#RewriteEngine on
#
## Not all installations will require the following line.  If you do,
## change "/dokuwiki" to the path to your dokuwiki directory relative
## to your document root.
#RewriteBase /dokuwiki
#
## If you enable DokuWikis XML-RPC interface, you should consider to
## restrict access to it over HTTPS only! Uncomment the following two
## rules if your server setup allows HTTPS.
#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
#RewriteRule ^lib/exe/xmlrpc.php$      https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI}
[L,R=301]

#RewriteRule ^_media/(.*)              lib/exe/fetch.php?media=$1  [QSA,L]
#RewriteRule ^_detail/(.*)             lib/exe/detail.php?media=$1  [QSA,L]
#RewriteRule ^_export/([^/]+)/(.*)     doku.php?do=export_$1&id=$2  [QSA,L]
#RewriteRule ^$                        doku.php  [L]
