Okay, so I installed Open Atrium and have been trying to enable clean URL's and I'm having nothing but issues.

 

Currently when I launch my site (whateversite.com) I get

Not Found

The requested URL /&tour=welcome_to_oa2_ was not found on this server.

 

 

Now if I add ?q=user at the end (whateversite.com/?q=user) it will send me to the annoying default open Atrium login page <-- if anyone knows how to change this I would very much appreciate it)

 

Any idea on how to fix the clean URL issue with Open Atrium

 

When I click the "Run the clean URL test" it responds with

The clean URL test failed.

 

The online handbook it references doesn't seem to fix the issue.

I would start by disabling clean URLs because your site might be caught in a mix of clean and dirty URLs.

 

Check this link out

 

Which basically says

1. http://example.com/?q=user
   
   
2. http://example.com/?q=admin/config/search/clean-urls
   
   
3.  
   
   

Here is what I did to fix the clean URL test always failing.

 

First I had to solve the issue when I restarted Apache I was getting the error:

root@ipsew:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart


Restarting web server: apache2apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 130.175.209.20 for ServerName


 ... waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 130.175.209.20 for ServerName


. ok

 

First:
root@ipsew:~# echo ServerName $HOSTNAME > /etc/apache2/conf.d/fqdn

 

Second:  vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

# Include the virtual host configurations:


Include sites-enabled/





DocumentRoot /var/www/oa/


ServerName ipsew.hosangit.com





allow from all


Options +Indexes

 

Third: Restart Apache now and you shouldn't have anymore errors

root@ipsew:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart


Restarting web server: apache2 ... waiting .

Verify your website is still up and running before going to the next step.

 

NEXT VERIFY .htaccess is working

First: vi /var/www/oa/.htaccess

Add random characters on a line all by itself. Try and launch your website and you should now get an error message (your website should not be able to be displayed which means your website is using your .htaccess file.  Go ahead and remove those special characters from your .htaccess file and check your website again to make sure it came back up before proceeding.

 

Second:


Make sure you have the .htaccess that was included with your Open Atrium download.
