Yourls: Config.php not found

[mitchya1]

Hello all,

I seem to be stuck getting nginx to display my YOURLS page. The nginx error.log reads:

*1 directory index of "/var/www/site/" is forbidden, client: IP.IP.IP.IP, server: site.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "site.com"

I've altered some information for privacy.

When I head to my site, I get a 403 message. However, if I enable autoindex in /etc/nginx/sites-available/myYOURLS.com (which is symlinked to /sites-enabled/), everything shows up.

The permissions are 755 on /var/www/site and www-data:www-data owns var/www.

My /sites-available/ config is this:

server {

listen 80;

server_name site.com;

root /var/www/site.com;

#index index.php;

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /yourls-loader.php;
#autoindex on;
expires 14d;
add_header Cache-Control 'public';
}

location ~ \.php$ {
  try_files $uri =404;
  fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
  fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm-ubuntu.sock;
  fastcgi_index index.php;
  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
  include fastcgi_params;

}
}

Ubuntu 16.04.3
nginx 1.12.1

• YOURLS version: Latest. I cloned it (again) today.
  
  
  
  • Plugins enabled: None
  
  
• PHP version: 7.0

Most of the above config came from the YOURLS wiki. I've tried explicitly specifying the yourls-loader.php location to no avail. Although I'm honestly not quite sure what the does. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but this I'm very new to this.

No quite sure where I need to go from here. Thanks in advance!

Definitely something wrong with #2294, ping @ozh for review.

Testing and everything works perfectly for me, even from scratch and from php cli server.
Weird...

_Edit:_ Some wrong thinking removed. Sorry to close reopen.

On windows, this error is not present.
On Linux, I changed this file
includes/YOURLS/Config/Config.php
here are the changes

public function __construct($config = false) {
        $this->set_root(realpath(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))))) );
        //$this->fix_win32_path(realpath(__DIR__ . '../../../..')) //This does not work on linux but on windows
        $this->set_config($config);
 }

This now works for me.
Hope this will helps in the bug correction during next update....

@KabataMacharia Good catch, thanks for your feedback! 👍
Can you submit a pull request with this change? Thx!

Update.

I pulled the latest update but am still having issues. I stopped nginx and installed Apache2 today. I get a 403 forbidden error on the page and this output in the Apache2 error.log:

AH01276: Cannot serve directory /var/www/site.com/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.php,index.html) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

If I go to /admin in a browser, (or anywhere besides the root)m, the index.php displays as plain text.
I've purged and reinstalled PHP as well in case there was an issue there.

sites-enabled config:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName urls.magicmemories.com
   DocumentRoot /var/www/site.com
   DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
   <Directory /var/www/site.com/>
      AllowOverride All
      Order Deny,Allow
      Allow from all
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

.htaccess:
```

BEGIN YOURLS

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ /yourls-loader.php [L]

END YOURLS

BEGIN INDEX-FIX

Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

END INDEX-FIX

I pulled the latest version today, and am having this issue too:

Guys, this issue is a mess. There are nginx problems and then "config not found" problems, all mixed.

nginx : is it working with 1.7.2 downloaded from the archive?

Config not found: please try patch from PR 2314

Closing this. Feel free to submit another precise issue with one clearly described problem. Thanks all.

[demure]

The git pull I did today has restored functionality. Thanks.

[mitchya1]

Regarding the original issue, I know this is closed but I finally got it working.

I ended up changing:
public function __construct($config = false) { $this->set_root(realpath(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))))) ); //$this->fix_win32_path(realpath(__DIR__ . '../../../..')) //This does not work on linux but on windows $this->set_config($config); }

To this:
public function __construct($config = false) { $this->set_root('/path/to/doc/root'); //$this->fix_win32_path(realpath(__DIR__ . '../../../..')) //This does not work on linux but on windows $this->set_config($config); }

Now it's working!
