XF 2.0 Questions while setting up my forum

[dutchfox13]

While this is my first time i use this software i think ity's a good idea to make a topic of my own and post the questions i have during setting up the forum.

1. Can i hide the forum for the public eye while setting up the forum? I don't want people to see the forum at this point.
2. I can't logout on the forum homepage. When i click my name next to the inbox tab, i get this message. How to solve this?

1. You can block access to the site via htaccess.
2. What errors are in the browser console?

1. See this thread: http://xenforo.com/community/thread...d-the-install-directory-using-htaccess.13768/

Just adapt it for your needs.

2. Hmm, any errors in your server error logs?

2. I connected Twitter and Facebook at connected accounts. That went wrong.

New problem. Can not attach an image at the forum. Sais code 403

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)

 

[Ozzy47]

With 403s it may be worth checking the actual file permissions on the server and change them with chmod

I made the attachment folder.


I made the folder upload, but this did not work. I just started with the forum and i'm allready frustrated. What else is to expected?

A forbidden error is a webserver error.

Contact your host and they should be able to resolve it (likely by whitelisting a rule in mod sec).

Hi Brogan,

I called the hosting company and he said that the server is Nginx and that it cant work with htaccess files. So he actually said the software as installed is not suitable for nginx.

Is this true and what is the next step for me to take?

I also have a very long error which i'd like to show you but it's to long to post here. Can i mail it?

 

[Paul B]

That's not true at all.
This site runs on a server powered by Nginx, as do many others.

It's something your host will have to investigate and resolve.
If they are unable to, our recommendation would be to change hosts.

Ok, I'll contezct them again.

Can you please take a look at the error messege i get? I need to mail it because it's to long. Where can i send it to?

PS: If the first person wants to add a picture, the software or server should automaticly create the folder 'attachements'?

I also don't have a folder called account. When i'm on the homepage of the forum and i click on my forum name, left below the browser wants to send met to the folder url/account. But hthe folder account is not in the root

 

[dutchfox13]

UPDATE: I turned off the option Option ->basic board information->Use full friendly URLs

Now the errors are gone.

What appears to be subdirectories in the URL aren't necessarily actual subdirectories on the server - they are just part of the visible URL path. If you click on a thread you will see /threads/ in the URL, but there is no /threads/ subdrectory.

Here’s a link that might help you with friendly urls. https://centminmod.com/nginx_configure_xenforo_seo_friendly_urls.html

Ok, next issue while setting up the forum nodes.

I'd like the text in the black area (hoover) to be fixed below the name of the forum. How can i do that?
