They still have some bad issue with ALL redirects. Sorry, this is not something related to Drake CMS.

They should fix their server if their server is causing all redirects to show this type of pages.

I passed this on to my server host and after their investigation they responded with this:

Code:

It appears that there is an error in the script causing duplicate headers to be parsed. I am including the error message from the server below for your reference:

[Sun Jan 6 22:24:30 2008] [error] [client] FastCGI: comm with server "/usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php5.fcgi" aborted: error parsing headers: duplicate header 'Status'

I was wrong. pinch

There was actually a Drake CMS bug! I thank you both for helping at finding this issue.

The bug (duplicate status headers) has been fixed in the SVN trunk and will be shipped with the v0.4.10 RC6 release.

If you meanwhile want to test the patch, please edit the file classes/http.php and remove the 3 'HTTP/1.1' lines as shown in this diff (line numbers may not correspond with your v0.4.9 version of the file, but the patch will work).

Thanks again!

hmmm. I made the patch changes but now get this message:

Code:

Found
The document has moved here.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.39 Server at www.wakewatcher.redirect.hm Port 80

So the situation seems unchanged.

Are you sure that classes/http.php has been patched as explained?

Thanks

Well note exactly the same. The error message is different. It now says "found" and doesn't include "permanently moved" as before. Here is my http.php code. I think I got it changed per your instructions.

Code:

Thanks again. I'm looking forward to getting this up and running.

The file is OK, well done.

Please now patch http.php as follows (should be around line 147):

Code:

} else {

// if (!is_url($url))

// $url = $GLOBALS['d_website'].$url;
header('Status: 307 Temporary Redirect');

header( 'Location: '.$url );

}

Note the addition of the Status: header.

Does now work?

Thanks

Is this patch suppose to be in the classes/http.php? I didn't see anything similiar to what you showed. This is what is around line 147 in http.php

Code:

function Querystring() {
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']))
return $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
// not sure that this branch is useful at all (!QUERYSTRING => ?REQUEST_URI)
if (isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
$s = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$sn=CMSRequest::ScriptName();
$p=strpos($s, $sn);
$p=strpos($s,'?',$p+strlen($sn));
if ($p!==false)
return substr($s,$p+1);
}
return '';
}

Am I looking in the wrong place?
Thx.

You will find the relevant area just before the lines you quoted, see below with the edit added.

Code:

<?php
} else {
// if (!is_url($url))
// $url = $GLOBALS['d_website'].$url;
header('Status: 307 Temporary Redirect');
header( 'Location: '.$url );
}
exit();
}

}

// requests go before responses
class CMSRequest {

function Querystring() {
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']))
return $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
// not sure that this branch is useful at all (!QUERYSTRING => ?REQUEST_URI)
if (isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
$s = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$sn=CMSRequest::ScriptName();
$p=strpos($s, $sn);
$p=strpos($s,'?',$p+strlen($sn));
if ($p!==false)
return substr($s,$p+1);
}
return '';
}

I made the change. Here is a snippet from my http.php file now.
Code:

<?php if ($url === '') {
echo 'history.go(-1);';
} else {
echo "document.location.href='$url';";
}
?></script></head><body><noscript>< h2><?php echo $msg; ?></h2><a href="<?php echo xhtml_safe($url) ?>">Redirect to <?php echo xhtml_safe($url);?></a></noscript></body>< ;/html>
<?php
} else {
// if (!is_url($url))
// $url = $GLOBALS['d_website'].$url;
header('Status: 307 Temporary Redirect');
header( 'Location: '.$url );
}
exit();
}

}

// requests go before responses
class CMSRequest {

It made no difference I still get the same error message.

Hi,

I'm very confused. Apparently Drake CMS is working on a lot of other servers. Is there something that needs to be changed on my hosts'? They are pretty accommodating but in this last instance we (I mean you, after they pointed it out)agreed that it wasn't their issue. I'm happy to go back to push them hard if they need to change something. Just let me know. (This is doubly strange in that they provide Mambo as part of their fantastico package. Shouldn't that CMS have similar problems?)

Thanks.

Hi

Just musing, however..

are you using a URL redirection service for your site?

I have had issues in the past when I have made use of the cjb.net URL redirection service. Worked fine when using the actual address.

no, the Drake CMS codebase has been changed so much that it is really difficult to find a piece of code unchanged from the original Mambo

Can you please ask what errors do appear in their logs now?
I have also asked on irc://irc.freenode.net/web and irc://irc.freenode.net/apache but had no luck up to now, maybe you will have more.

I'm afraid all of this is getting beyond me. I will see if I can my server host to look at this thread and make sense of it all. I really appreciate your efforts I would have liked to use this. And since Mambo was on my host's fantastico I tried it first and didn't even get as far as I have with Drake. So there must be something amiss. I know that my host's php standard is version 4 and I had them activate version 5 for me. Should that make any difference?

I think the responsability has been on both the software (Drake CMS) and the server configuration. The server configuration must be really broken because as far as I have understood you cannot currently make any redirect through PHP.

A log line of the current errors would be very useful, too.

Maybe the problem is on the server configuration only.
PHP4 or PHP5 will not make any difference for the redirect problem because it is an Apache configuration problem, however trying will not harm anything. Maybe it will get fixed as a side-effect!

Note: Drake CMS works perfectly with PHP4 or PHP5

I pointed the sysadmin to this thread and got this response:
Quote:

Re-Directs Not working in PHP.

Hello,

Im not sure whats causing this. the only thing we are seeing in the logs is the fact that your script is causing the status header to be sent twice and hitting the security on the server. Redirecting using the header() function is really not a good way of redirecting users. You may want to see if theres a way to recode that line to work on the server.

Regards,
Ben

Is it worthwhile for you to work with them directly or do you think they are the only hosting site that has these issues?

what is really weird to me is this statement:
Quote:

Can you please ask if they know another of redirection which does not use the header() function? Or by what security principle their server is not allowing the Location: header redirect? You can also give them my email address legolas558 _AT users dot SF dot net.

I also have a correction for his message: the software is no more sending the header twice (even if it is normal to do that).

I am sorry but I think it is a limitation of their server, although I am interested in the reasons behind such limitation.
