404 Shit happens error!

[hayzamjs]

Hey guys I tired installing the OpenBay on an old computer of mine running Debian wheezy, I get the 404 shit happens error, I followed the following tutorial : https://www.bitforce.io/hacking/howto-openbay-auf-debian-ubuntu-mit-nginx-1-6-2-aufsetzen/ and moreover I at first had the 500 internal server error,I fixed that by changing the "try_files $uri $uri/ /$yii_bootstrap?$args;" line to "try_files $uri/ $uri /index.php?$query_string;" in the openbay.conf file..What should I do now to fix the 404 error?? BTW : 404 comes up when I click on Browse/recent or even try to search something! if someone could fix this then it'll be a great help!

EDIT : I AM NOT USING A LOCAL DB, since I read that it was too problematic..

Hi, I'm with that problem. I'm not using a local db too.

//protected/extensions/ESphinxQL/ESphinxQL.php line 292

Yii::app()->sphinx //It print's the 404 page. maybe some "Yii::app()::__get" method exec that. :(

public function search($search) {
    if (is_string($search)) {
        $this->_search = Yii::app()->sphinx->quoteValue($search);
    }
    return $this;
}

It could be that the remote servers from OpenBay may be offline so please just wait some time if its not working then you should try to get your own local DB.

[TheChiefCoC]

the problem is in openbay remote db

[hayzamjs]

Okay, how do I get my own local DB? Is there a tutorial?

[LeonardoCiaccio]

i can see only recent torrents, but on search return '404'

[hayzamjs]

^ Same here now, but wait... There is a Preinstalled VMware image coming soon, i'll keep you updated

I commited some fixes for Sphinx config file, it should fix 404 errors, try it. https://github.com/JohnCock/openbay/blob/patch-1/conf/example-sphinx.conf

[hayzamjs]

Isn't that for local DB JohnCock?

For local and remote, doesn't matter. Just change mysql host/username/pass to yours.

[hayzamjs]

Can you please post a proper tutorial? I've been trying to get this up and running both local and remote DB for the past 6 days..

Wont happen if you host the database on your own server. See my guide here: https://www.bitforce.io/hacking/howto-setup-openbay-on-debian-ubuntu-with-nginx-1-6-2/

The remote Sphinx is currently down.

I've tried to automate the install with a Vagrantfile in #135 using the remote MySQL and a local Sphinx. This makes it reproducible and easily testable to confirm that it works before you start fiddling with your own servers.

You can look at the Sphinx setup in #135 (it's just a few short scripts) and do the same on your servers if you have root access.
