Make new root page from panel redirects to panel/site/add

Kirby 2 Solved ✅

hi!

i’ve encountered a strange error for the first time: when i make a new root page from the panel, i get redirected to website-url.com/panel/site/add, which displays a front-end error page.

the website is working on localhost and used to work on a shared hosting, now i moved it to a vps and i got this problem. to be clear subpages work nicely.

i think i still need to install one last php package maybe? i thought i had installed everything…

this is the installed packages:

  • php-common/stable,now 1:49 all [installed,automatic]
  • php-fpm/stable,now 1:7.0+49 all [installed]
  • php-mbstring/stable,now 1:7.0+49 all [installed]
  • php-xml/stable,now 1:7.0+49 all [installed]
  • php7.0-cli/stable,stable,now 7.0.27-0+deb9u1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  • php7.0-common/stable,stable,now 7.0.27-0+deb9u1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  • php7.0-curl/stable,stable,now 7.0.27-0+deb9u1 amd64 [installed]
  • php7.0-fpm/stable,stable,now 7.0.27-0+deb9u1 amd64 [installed]
  • php7.0-gd/stable,stable,now 7.0.27-0+deb9u1 amd64 [installed]
  • php7.0-json/stable,stable,now 7.0.27-0+deb9u1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  • php7.0-mbstring/stable,stable,now 7.0.27-0+deb9u1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  • php7.0-opcache/stable,stable,now 7.0.27-0+deb9u1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  • php7.0-readline/stable,stable,now 7.0.27-0+deb9u1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  • php7.0-xml/stable,stable,now 7.0.27-0+deb9u1 amd64 [installed,automatic]

any idea?

thanks,
af

Do you only get this error when trying to create a root page but not when creating subpages?

Any errors in console?

i think you may have one or two things missing. heres a list of installed packages from my VPS (CentOs7). Not all are installed by default (I installed via EasyApache). I definaetly remember install mbstring, bcmath and i think zip manually after installing PHP 7 before Kirby fully functioned.

Please don’t blindly install stuff, go careful :slight_smile: Understand what it does before pressing buttons.

build
libc-client
pear
php-bcmath
php-bz2
php-calendar
php-cli
php-common
php-curl
php-dba
php-devel
php-enchant
php-exif
php-fileinfo
php-fpm
php-ftp
php-gd

yes, only for root pages. subpages work.

here the nginx error log

2018/07/04 11:36:41 [error] 18316#18316: *24048 open() "xxx/panel/site/add" failed (2: No such file or directory), server: website.com, request: "GET /panel/site/add HTTP/1.1", host: "website.com", referrer: "https://website.com/panel/"

ouch yes will scan through it.

i’m using nginx w/ php-fmp, wonder if that makes such a difference… thanks!

re: nginx error posted above. i also wonder if there’s something wrong in my nginx config settings for kirby, which i mostly copy-pasted from a post i found on the forum some time ago:

root /var/www/website.com;
        index index.html index.php;

        server_name xxx;

	## kirby

	# don't hint these as folders

        	rewrite ^/(.*).(txt|md|mdown|yaml|yml|git.*)$ /error last;

I dont know much about NGINX, but from a quick google around, it looks like IF statements are bad practice. Maybe try the config posted over here.
