cannot display my blog in my site

[robyda]

Hi, I have tried several time to display my blog on my joomla site, but with no succes. I tried both with 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 version of joomla. my blog is indipendenzaevalore.wordpress.com When I click on the menu item in my site, I get: 1) "The requested URL /indipendenzaevalore/blog was not found on this server." - if I have Use URL rewriting is set to Yes 2) "No input file specified." if I have Use URL rewriting is set to No. In both cases, if I go to Compnents - wordbriodge, if I click on "site" the page correctly displays. I have tried twiking other SEO settings configuration but with no success. I have instaled oa set of JA modules and plug in for the ja business template, developed with jat3. Thinking that the issue could be related to the template, I've assigned the bult in atomic template to te menu item related to wordpress, but again no success. Any thoughts? Thanks Rob

Hi Rob

When you have URL rewriting enabled, have you set up your site's .htaccess file? Getting a 404 in such a situation indicates either the .htaccess file hasn't been copied from htaccess.txt or isn't being read by Apache.

The "No input file specified" is a PHP error, not a Joomla or component error. This post suggests some possible fixes: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2698047

First orf all, let me thankyou for the lightining fast answer Vittal. Unfortunately, I still got isuues.

if I rename the my htaccess.txt file to .hataccess (not .htaccess.text), I get the following error trying to acces both the site and the administration site: Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, postmaster@studiorda.eu and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Really do not know were to move further from this point.

Hi Rob

You'll need to check with the site's hosting support team to resolve this. When you see the error caused by creating a .htaccess file, it means the server is not configured to support the commands in a local .htaccess file.

You could also try setting "cgi.fix_pathinfo=1" in your site's php.ini file (or through the site's control panel http://kb.aruba.it/KB/a205/cos-possibile-fare-tramite-il-pannello-di-controllo.aspx)

The problems you are seeing are down to how your hosting provider has configured Apache/PHP, not down to Joomla, it's components or your template. If you turn off the SEO and rewrite options, the site should work correctly.

Thanks Viattal. I've sent a support ticket to Aruba hosting. Lets see what they will suggest and I'll keep you posted for future users needs. Meanwhile, I tried the cgi.fix trick and it worked out beautifully. Thankyou so much for your hard work and kind support. Espect a 5 star review and have a wonderful sunday! Rob

Hi Rob

Many thanks for the review.

You can mimic the wordpress image styling by adding this CSS to your template's template.css file:

div.wordbridge_content .alignleft, div.wordbridge_content  img.alignleft {
    display: inline;
    float: left;
    margin-right: 24px;
    margin-top: 4px;
}
div.wordbridge_content .alignright, div.wordbridge_content  img.alignright {
    display: inline;
    float: right;
    margin-left: 24px;
    margin-top: 4px;
}
div.wordbridge_content .aligncenter, div.wordbridge_content  img.aligncenter {
    clear: both;
    display: block;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}
div.wordbridge_content img.alignleft, div.wordbridge_content  img.alignright, div.wordbridge_content  img.aligncenter {
    margin-bottom: 12px;
}
