Hi folks,

I had a problem recently that may be worth sharing. Happily, it seems fixed now. As I see that others to

Basically, even though I managed to get typo3 installed, the links to other pages did not work. The solution was found by looking through the archives of this WEC forum. Thanks for that! I did a search using the "any day" parameter to see if I could locate anything on "broken links". The solution that came up was a thread dealing with that very issue and advising disabling Real_URL.

My contract with my current (php4) host expires in June. During the months that are left, I thought that I would take the opportunity to a host that supports php5, and I intend to rebuild a clean, fresh version of the old site. I have been trying to install this for a couple of days now. Smart_ftp has been my pal, as it has helped me to recursively alter permissions to 777.

The current state of play in my installation efforts is that I have a backend, wec-configured to my own requirements. However, the following error comes up when I try to click on any of the links to dummy pages.

(After being Away From Keyboard for three hours, I find that the links are beginning to populate! Maybe this site is self-repairing? Maybe I should spend longer away from the keyboard!)



Is this a mod_rewrite issue or a .htaccess issue or some other issue?
I have also run the wec_servercheck.php file which produced the following result.



My php.ini.default says

Using the Install Tool of typo3, I have set the memory as 64M but, as you see, the servercheck shows 32M.

However, I do not suppose that matters as long as the site works!?

That sounds like a good idea to me too. I'll use this post as a reference when I ask for some time off ;)

Everything appears to be working properly now, right?

Jeff,

The site is working fairly smoothly and quite a bit faster, although it currently only has pretty much the WEC Starter default content in it, so I guess that once I start adding to it that it might slow down a little. However, so far, so good!

As I have a few months left before I need to switch over, I am taking the opportunity of doing some experimentation with things that I would not risk on the proper (to be superseded) site. I find that some things work a lot better since they do not suffer from user-introduced corruption The demo site makes it easier to understand how template extensions etc. are done.

I have been investigating yaml templates and am going to have another look at writing my own templates or at least rejigging existing WEC ones. I feel that the time to do this is while the site is empty. For the yaml thing, I have created a separate installation of typo3 so that I will not spoil my WEC version of it

It is an opportunity to correct previous mistakes such as untidy storage of photos and things of that kind, which should lead to a more manageable and more responsive site.

Overall, I am pleased to think that things are grand.

Thanks for asking though

Calum

When new extensions are added from, say, the typo3 repository, is it a good idea to change the permissions for new directories or files that are added under fileadmin, typo3conf, typo3temp and uploads? Or are they automatically assigned the permissions that have been given to these parent directories during the installation of the extension?

Calum,

If those files are written by TYPO3 then you do not need to change any permissions. If you FTP files there then you may need to change permissions. In normal operation, you should never need to change permissions once TYPO3 is installed.

In Him,

Mark,

That clarifies the situation perfectly for me.

Thanks very much,
Calum
