- Images, subpages and panel not working. - This is localhost with apache 2.4.29 and php 7.2.24 - mbstring, curl, ctype, gd enabled - Adding gibberish to .htacesss (before the IfModule mod\_rewrite.c tag) produces a 500 internal server error - var/www/html/ , var/www/html/starterkit and all subfolders are root/root drwxr-xr-x - All files are root/root -rw-r–r– - I tried with ‘RewriteBase /’ and ‘RewriteBase /starterkit’ to no avail - I also tried to serve the starterkit from a user directory at ~/public\_html/starterkit whose .htaccess also produces a 500 internal server error if filled with gibberish, and whose folders and files have the same permissions although not root/root owned but user/user (user being my user) … what’s left for me to try ? Thank you ---

And what is your local environment? If you are using PHP’s built-in server, you have to start it with Kirby’s router.php ```auto php -S localhost:8000 kirby/router.php ``` > **[Get up and running](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/quickstart)** > > All you need to know to get Kirby up and running: Installation, requirements and updates. ---

I have a similar issue. The local version is working fine using php -S localhost:8000 kirby/router.php but showing error on the production server. ![09%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/f/feef3d6826e5dd78355be9c1579840d371ce5a6e.png) ---

Does the media folder get created on the remote server? Make sure not to deploy your media folder, it gets recreated (or should get created) on the server. ---

Apache’s error.log shows ‘File does not exist’ entries for files and also for the panel `[Mon Nov 18 01:33:36.985620 2019] [core:info] [pid 4629] [client 127.0.0.1:49292] AH00128: File does not exist: /home/jaume/public_html/starterkit/media/pages/photography/plants/460365936-1574037194/nice-colors-ugly-plant-1024x1024.jpg, referer: http://localhost/~jaume/starterkit/` `[Mon Nov 18 10:24:58.855112 2019] [core:info] [pid 955] [client 127.0.0.1:59570] AH00128: File does not exist: /var/www/html/starterkit/panel` > [@texnixe](#): > > And what is your local environment? > > If you are using PHP’s built-in server, you have to start it with Kirby’s router.php > > ```auto > php -S localhost:8000 kirby/router.php > > ``` @texnixe I am not running php’s built-in server but accessing the site via apache 2.4.29 as mentioned. Actually… apache should have write access to some folders shouldn’t it ? Thanks ---

Btw, there is no media folder in ‘/var/www/html/starterkit’ but there IS a media folder in ‘/home/myuser/starterkit’, this media folder is created and owned by `www-data` (apache user) but still no images or panel in either location. I just tried adding `www-data` as group owner to the html folder recursively , and giving group write access to it also recursively. So now `www-data` should have write access to all of `/html` folder That allowed apache to create a media folder there aswell, but, again, no images or panel. /edit I’ve checked permissions on an external HD rsync backup of a working local installation: ``` var/html/webdev drwxr-xr-x myuser/myuser var/html/webdev/kirbyfolder drwxrwxr-x myuser/myuser var/html/webdev/kirbyfolder/content and /media drwxrwxr-x myuser/www-data (apache) rest of folders drwxrwxr-x myuser/myuser non executable files -rw-rw-r-- myuser/myuser executable files -rwxrwxr-x myuser/myuser ``` Which would mean it complied with 755/644 permissions AND had write permissions for apache on ‘content’ and ‘media’ folders. No other hints there edit/ I checked again php info and mbstring seems to be enabled. I am confused… the pain… please help ---

Your Webserver (apache) needs write permissions on ‘site/accounts’ and ‘site/sessions’ folders too! ---

Ok thank you @anon77445132, I believe needed write permissions are not clearly stated in the guide are they? But this does not seem to solve my problem. I already tried giving `www-data` group ownership to `var/www/html/` recursively and gave the group `+rwX` also recursively. So Apache should be able to read and write and navigate freely, but images, subpages and panel are not working. Plus` site/accounts` and` site/sessions` do not exist in this installation! Jesus, where did it go wrong! ---

Solution: mod\_rewrite was not enabled
