404 errors after basic installation (on virtual box with OpenSuSE)

I tried basic installation on a virtual box machine with OpenSuSE, and I redirected port 8088 to port 80 of the virtual machine. This is what I did: 1. Downloaded UserCandy 1.05 2. Unzipped, and copied into server directory: /srv/www/htdocs 3. Opened web browser, navigated to https://localhost:8088/public 4. Followed the installation instructions Step1 to Step5 (all green) I can then see the homepage (without the logo image). Any link I click is giving a 404 error. On my host machine and Firefox, all links appear now as: localhost:8088/About localhost:8088/Contact localhost:8088/Register ... The php log files in "system/logs" remain empty. And apache logs don't show up anything. Another observation: When using "http://localhost:8088/", I get a 403 error, cause no index.[html|php] file exists. The apache log says: Cannot serve directory /srv/www/htdocs/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html,index.html.var,index.php4,index.php5,index.php7,index.php) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive I can navigate to "http://localhost:8088/public", then I'd see the UserCandy homepage again (still with the 404 errors mentioned above). I think I am looking to where to go from here ...

Need to setup to where Apache opens the public folder. Here is a good video how to set it up. Note: This videos shows hot to setup on xamp for windows but the apace config files are similar. I suggest using virtual hosts, but I have yet to create a how to on that.

not yet there ... link to (temporary) screenshot: https://ln2.sync.com/dl/bddc59850/7zc62c4s-jdmtbfyw-82an62r9-9j2uxtf5 I have the feeling that the redirects don't work. I am not too familiar with these redirects. Example: both images in the default homepage do not appear. The html code shows them to be here: ... img src='http://localhost:8088/Templates/Default/Assets/images/logo.png' ... img src='http://localhost:8088//Templates/Default/Assets/images/UserCandyLogoLGBlack.png' If I enter this address in the browser, it's also a 404 error. The images are there, the folder has no capital 'T', it is just 'templates'. Even if I correct this, the images are not displayed. The web page links (about, contact, register...) remain on 'error 404'. PHP error log and apache error log remain empty :-( Just in case: I am running &quot;plain vanilla&quot; apache2 version 2.4.43.

Looks like Apache is not reading the .htaccess file. Edit the following to match within the <Directory "var/www/..."> Options All AllowOverride All Require all granted Add/Edit those and let me know the results.

yup - that's it! I have all links on the left side working (about, contact, home ...), but the two on the right side (login and register) seem to fail: The php-error.log in (system/logs) shows this:

Code
Exception information:
           Date: Aug 31, 2020 12:27PM
           Message: Call to undefined function Helpers\openssl_random_pseudo_bytes()
...

which was fairly easy to solve: the missing software was php7-openssl, and could be installed this way:

Codesudo zypper in php7-openssl

Then I could go into the register dialog, I filled out the username, password and email, just to get a "registration error: please try again". A bit puzzled ... php-error.log is empty, apache error log is empty. Hmmm (https://ln2.sync.com/dl/470692ff0/xsg8uv2w-6tk7jtqa-tnksxz6p-seqs2e2u)

Go into phpmyadmin and look in the auth log to see if it gives you more details of the reason registration did not work.

I am not sure were to find "phonyadmin" ... I looked into the code (file Register.php), and observed s.th.: it looks like the first check is the captcha and an agreement to terms & conditions. I couldn't see any field for terms&cond, nor the re-captcha from google. The virtual machine is capable of "opening" www.google.com/recaptcha...

HI, I'm having the exact same issue as pebwindkraft, but not able to follow the solution provided by DaVaR. @DaVar, can you please elaborate on your recommendation? "Posted: August 30, 2020 @ 10:14 PM Looks like Apache is not reading the .htaccess file. Edit the following to match within the &lt;Directory &quot;var/www/...&quot;&gt; Options All AllowOverride All Require all granted"
