Forum Archive - [Solved] trouble with .htaccess ... i think

Hi im using gtranslate pro over a Joomla 1.7.3 installation with AceSEF 1.7.3 URL: http://www.mayanexplore.com php 5.2.17 curl: libcurl/7.21.6 OpenSSL/0.9.8b zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5 json: 1.2.1 ioncube is installed im having troubles to make it work properly using the redirect method if i modify the .htaccess to add the lines that the instructions you provide i get the error: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] 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. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. if i dont edit the .htaccess the url seems to be generated ok (http://www.mayanexplore.com/es) but the browser cant find the page I have been trying to make it work so long i have changed everything that came to my mind. I would like to send you some captures, files, access to the site to see if you can help me. can you give me an email address? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Can you post the contents of your .htaccess file with the # gtranslate config added?

Hi Edvard this is the .htaccess: ## # @version $Id: htaccess.txt 21101 2011-04-07 15:47:33Z dextercowley $ # @package Joomla # @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 - 2011 Open Source Matters.

Thank you very much for your help

There it goes the config.php too: <?php define('MAIN_LANG', 'en'); // Main language code: en, ar, bg, hr, cn, ct, cs, da, et, tl, fi, fr, gl, el, iw, hi, es, nl, id, ja, ca, ko, lt, lv, mt, de, no, pt, ru, ro, sr, sk, sl, sv, th, tr, uk, hu, vi, it, pl, sq define('API_KEY', 'INSERT-YOUR-KEY'); // You can get your Google Translate API key from https://code.google.com/apis/console/?api=translate define('AUTO_DETECT_LANG', false); // set to true if you have mixed language content, works with Google only define('CACHE_TIME', 365*24*60*60); // 1 year by default, no need to decrease define('LICENSE', 'license.dat'); define('SSL_VERIFY_PEER', true); // disable if you get CA certificate error and cannot reconfigure your server to solve the issue define('FOLLOW_LOCATION', true); // if your site have redirects for some URLs and for that reason you see blank pages, you need to enable this feature define('USE_BING_TRANSLATOR', false); // Enable it to use Bing Translotor instead of Google Translate define('BING_API_KEY', 'INSERT-YOUR-KEY'); // If the option above is enabled you need to get your Bing API key from http://www.bing.com/developers/createapp.aspx (PHP SOAP client is required) define('DEBUG', false); // turn on for debug mode // username and password to edit translations, please change for security reasons, // this is not your google login/pass, you need to think something new define('USER', '***********'); define('PASS', '***********'); is it normal that the license.dat be empty?? Thanks in advance

Hi, The config and .htaccess look OK (set "es" as a main_lang in config). But I think you have changed the permissions for gtranslat/*.php files to 777. Make sure to leave them the default value after you upload (usually 644). Also, can you upload info.php file from the product package into your gtranslate directory, so I can access it directly http://www.mayanexplore.com/gtranslate/info.php

The info.php seems not to be available at that position. it says: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. (mmm... the same problem as when i edit the htaccess to put the gtranslate codes) you can see it at: http://www.mayanexplore.com/info.php here goes captures to see the permisions to the files: www.mayanexplore.com/capture01.jpg www.mayanexplore.com/capture02.jpg by the moment i dont have the gtranslate codes on the htacess because its not working and every page i try to access transalating or not says: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. (thats why i thought it was a problem in the htaccess) changed the language in config.php as you told me also here it goes the content of the config.php in case you could see a problem there: <?php define('MAIN_LANG', 'es'); // Main language code: en, ar, bg, hr, cn, ct, cs, da, et, tl, fi, fr, gl, el, iw, hi, es, nl, id, ja, ca, ko, lt, lv, mt, de, no, pt, ru, ro, sr, sk, sl, sv, th, tr, uk, hu, vi, it, pl, sq define('API_KEY', 'INSERT-YOUR-KEY'); // You can get your Google Translate API key from https://code.google.com/apis/console/?api=translate define('AUTO_DETECT_LANG', false); // set to true if you have mixed language content, works with Google only define('CACHE_TIME', 365*24*60*60); // 1 year by default, no need to decrease define('LICENSE', 'license.dat'); define('SSL_VERIFY_PEER', true); // disable if you get CA certificate error and cannot reconfigure your server to solve the issue define('FOLLOW_LOCATION', true); // if your site have redirects for some URLs and for that reason you see blank pages, you need to enable this feature define('USE_BING_TRANSLATOR', false); // Enable it to use Bing Translotor instead of Google Translate define('BING_API_KEY', 'INSERT-YOUR-KEY'); // If the option above is enabled you need to get your Bing API key from http://www.bing.com/developers/createapp.aspx (PHP SOAP client is required) define('DEBUG', false); // turn on for debug mode // username and password to edit translations, please change for security reasons, // this is not your google login/pass, you need to think something new define('USER', '************'); define('PASS', '************');

Hi, If you can give me FTP access I'll solve it for you. You can send it using the PM button on the right.

Can you fix my installation of Gtranslate? It will not run pro.

Sent! Thank you!!!
