Dear All

I have installed ojs and done all the hard work to remove the extra part from journal url like

abc.xyz.edu.pk/abc/index.php to abc.xyz.edu.pk

Now I cant access site Admin. Whenever I click it. it takes me to user.

Kindly help

Hi sohailkmu,

Did you tried to set the base_url settings in config.inc.php? Specially the base_url[index] one. This should be the url that gives access to the site pages.

Cheers,
Bruno

Dear beghelli,

Thanks alot for your response. Yes you are right. I have made changes in config.inc.php .
My base_url[index] is pointing to my journal website. eg. if abc is my journal and xyz.edu.pk is my main website. I have made my base_url[index] as abc.xyz.edu.pk and base_url[abc] also as abc.xyz.edu.pk.

even the link shows abc.xyz.edu.pk/admin but when it is clicked it agian comes to the starting page i.e user home.
I have also made changes in .htaccess.

All other links are working properly but site admin cant be accessed.

@sohailkmu,

If you want to still be able to access your site admin pages, you will have to comment that baser_url[index] setting. Base url for your context is the same, so it overrides your site admin and leads you to the journal context instead.

Cheers,
Bruno

@sohailkmu, think of base_url[‘index’] as “the URL to the site admin index” rather than “my main website”. If you want to a single journal, with the journal at the site root instead of the OJS site root, this thread might be helpful: Please, How To Direct Single Journal To Web Root (http://journalpage.com) instead of (http://journalpage.com?index.php/ojs) - #2 by ctgraham

Thanks alot.

When I comment the base_url[index] then it gives me
404 Not Found
and the url which is shown in the borwser is http://abc.xyz.edu.pk/index/admin

Did the above linked topic offer any help?

@sohailkmu, please be more specific about what configuration(s) you tried, and what the result was.

As you note above, I don’t think it will work with base_url[index] commented out. The instructions in Please, How To Direct Single Journal To Web Root (http://journalpage.com) instead of (http://journalpage.com?index.php/ojs) - #2 by ctgraham are not cut-and-paste ready, but should get you in the right direction. If they do not, please describe your process so we can better revise these general instructions.
