Redirecting to wrong adminurl post login

[james william]

Hi,

I have installed Mahara 18041 manually on one of my test servers. However I am getting stuck post admin login.

After installing Mahara 18041 when I try to login into http://{domain.com}/{subdirectory}/admin it is redirecting to http://{domain.com}/{subdirectory}/ {subdirectory} /admin which is giving "404 Not found" error as it is detecting {subdirectory} twice.

Can anyone help me out why this is happening ?

Hi James,

The reason for this is your site is subdirectory of the website's root directory.

This is indeed a bug, and it is being caused by:
PHP SCRIPT_NAME = /{subdirectory}/admin
Mahara wwwroot = http://{domain.com}/{subdirectory}/

And so there is an overlap of /{subdirectory} common to both parts, where we only need it once

I've created a patch for it https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/8943/

Please try the changes in that patch to see if fixes your problem.

Cheers

Robert

Bug 1774334: Correcting redirect on login for site in subdirectory

The fix in Bug 1774309 fails to work correctly when the site
is in a subdirectory of the apache root.

To test:
1) Adjust your site's apache file and set the DocumentRoot to be
parent of htdocs
2) Change the 'wwwroot' db value for site to include the 'htdocs/' bit
3) Restart the apache server
4) Go to site, adding 'htdocs/' to url
5) Try logging in

before patch: end up not found page with url containing two 'htdocs/'

after patch: end up at correct place
