Not sure what's going on.

It's like if mod_rewrite isn't enabled. What happens if you enter the src/ directory?

[cones]

Enabled it just to make sure, when i go into there i get a "404 Not Found". The URL goes to */src/site/login

[negge]

@cones create a file on the server named "phpinfo.php" and add the following in it:

<?php

echo phpinfo();

Browse to in and search the page for the word "rewrite". It should be there under "loaded Apache modules". If not then that's the problem.

[negge]

Just to be on the safe side of the argument I installed Ubuntu Server 14.04 from scratch and applied the instructions from the README one by one. There was no issue.

@cones: can you paste the contents of /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf ?

[cones]

"core mod_so mod_watchdog http_core mod_log_config mod_logio mod_version mod_unixd mod_access_compat mod_alias mod_auth_basic mod_authn_core mod_authn_file mod_authz_core mod_authz_groupfile mod_authz_host mod_authz_user mod_autoindex mod_cgi mod_deflate mod_dir mod_env mod_expires mod_filter mod_mime prefork mod_negotiation mod_php5 mod_reqtimeout mod_rewrite mod_setenvif mod_status"

Got plenty of modules there.


I don't see any obvious spelling errors i made, syntax error maybe?

This is an upgrade from 13.04 server, it could very well be a messed up config file somewhere that changed from an upgrade but i don't think it is that.

[negge]

Can you post the whole Apache config file (000-default.conf)?

[cones]

Should be that link up there unless i posted the wrong one.

[negge]

@cones: sorry, didn't see it. Can you try moving it back to /var/www/html (and change the DocumentRoot accordingly)? I suspect there are some other directives in apache2.conf that override what you have in 000-default.conf.

[cones]

That doesn't seem to help anything when i do that. I will look more at it later today when i have more time for it.

[negge]

I don't know what you've done to break this, no one else has described the same issue and I have no idea how to reproduce it. I suggest you remove Apache altogether (with the --purge option to also delete all configuration files), then remove /var/www, then follow the installation instructions again.

Sorry if this is dead obvious and im just being a idiot. But after setting this up it all works fine except i can only get very very few videos to stream, all MKV, AVI and other format films/tv program just try and download the file with an extended filename such as "-home-declan-Movies-Movies-2 Guns (2013)-2 Guns.mkv" I've got an mp4 file to stream, a few others just hang on loading. Is there something obvious im missing?

[negge]

Press the watch button instead of download and open the playlist file in VLC or any other media player except WMP.

[Dec64]

ah so its not possible to have in browser playback for most formats? well without using the transcoding branch?

[negge]

Exactly.
