but all links don't work

the page says :

shlukwhy not better use a free panel hestia cp or vitualmin so that you do not have to be with these problems

 

[sucre13]

sure you did not make the backup copy and files or information are missing

 

[Soul02]

Have you messed around with the friendly URL settings? or maybe the .htaccess?

Soul02haven't even touched them

check your php extension and apache mod.

thomsawhat does that mean ? how ?

 

[BattleKing]

what does that mean ? how ?

shlukSo it is a complete server and you start to setup a new system. and install the backup of an existing one.
In the configuration of PHP and apache.
Did you also check the web service logs? Are there any error messages?

Check with the xenforo requirement script, if the server has been configured correctly.

You could also try to do a fresh install of xenforo to see if that works, if that works, try the same with your backup.

I see this error in the log :

• Error: Class 'DOMDocument' not found
• src/vendor/laminas/laminas-feed/src/Reader/Reader.php:319

the problem is when I click on any thread or link for that matter I get a white page saying :

Not Found​

The requested URL was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.51 (Debian) Server at domain Port 80

I tried setting bitmitigate to port 80 or 443 and it still errors.
I have sat on this problem for 2 weeks now. it has become personal. at this point it's not about the forum
it's about solving the puzzle of why

other than that I can see the forum working

only the forum list page works

this also changed nothing :

excute this command to edit apache conf file of your server.

nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

And Kindly find this section and update this.
from

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

To

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

Then apache2 restart
sudo service apache2 restart

End. Hope it works well.

I fixed it !

 

[shluk]

I had to disable friendly urls !
but how do I enable them again ?

shlukI had a feeling that is what you did, I did say so above...

Enable them and I THINK it is this you must almost uncomment in your htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

(I think it's some service I need to install on the debian)
