This is my first time working with SFTP. I'm used to using a cPanel with a hosting company (like JustHost or GoDaddy, etc.).
I'm able to log in to my SFTP server through FileZilla and I'm able to upload files onto the server but when I go to visit the page on my web browser, it gives me a 404 error. For example, let's say my IP address for the server is:
123.45.67.89
I have the logins and I use them in FileZilla and put files in. And then I want to navigate to a file (in this case I'll use the phpMyAdmin directory I've created since that's what I'm trying). In the browser I write:
123.45.67.89/phpMyAdmin/setup/
This directory exists and has an index.php file in it but when I try to go to it, the browser gives me a 404 error. Am I missing a step here? Do I need to somehow work the login credentials into the URL? I've tried other paths too and they don't work either.
Thanks for your help!
EDIT
I just realized that with SFTP, the browser uses the information that's in the /var/www/html/ folder to display. I can navigate to those directories by just simply typing the directory name in. I suppose my question now is how do I get to the root directory in my web browser. Using just the 123.45.67.89/ defaults to the /var/www/html/ folder...
Which web server do you use? If it's Apache you should learn about apache virtual hosts and modify the apache configuration file (usually on /etc/apache2).
See here for more details.

I have uploaded a Laravel Nova project into bluehost and made the changes on the DB name, user, and password, and I assigned the domain to the directory but I'm still getting the (Index of/) page when I open the domain.
That happens because your vhost is pointing to an incorrect directory.
Your apache/any web server should be pointing to /dir/your-project-name/public, however now its currently pointing to /dir/your-project-name (public is missed)
If you have ssh option, edit your vhost to point to /your-project-name/public directory.
If you don't have ssh option (most probably if you're in shared hosting you won't have access to), try renaming the public to public_html and see if that works.
If that still doesn't work, you would need to change the app configuration. Please see this answer
Actually, in my localhost, my website run without any problem.
However, in the living server, there are some problem of showing image.
If I put image in the web root, image can be showed in web. But if I put image into folder, image can't be showed.
Example:
/post/1/1.jpg
If I click the link directly:
http://website/post/1/1.jpg
it will be error 403. As below:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /post/1/1.jpg on this server.
Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Discover some hints:
If I put all files into the web root, including codeigniter framework itself.
The website run without any problem.
However, it is not the good practice. Actually, I want to put the codeigniter framework out of the web root.
Open your FTP via Filezila or any other program. navigate to your root folder and find the folder /post/ right click on it and change the select File Permissions... change it to 755 and re view the image in the browser.
Thanks for all reply.
I find the solution.
1) codeigniter framework can place out of web root without changing .htaccess file.
2) folder of image should be place under web root.
3) make sure the folder of image are 755 / 777 file permission.
I am trying to transfer my website with jomsocial from one server to another.
www.iremember.gr
Previous server steps:
Backup all the files from public_html folder.
Backup the DB from php my admin.
New server steps:
Install joomla, entered the prefix in DB of the previous DB prefix.
Deleted all files from public html and extract the backup from the previous server.
Export the DB from the previous server, to the new one.
Changed the configuration.php file with the new user/dbname/password.
Now when i try to enter the new server at this IP address
93.174.121.23/~niremco/
and i login ok.
It loads the main page
but when i try to enter a profile i get a 404 Error.
Although when i try to see the profile
http://93.174.121.23/~niremco/index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&userid=109
i can see it.
But not from the correct link that i had in the previous server
http://93.174.121.23/~niremco/team-iremember/profile
Any idea why this happens?
You probably haven't copied the .htaccess file from the old website, you will need to copy it from the old Joomla website to the new one. This typically happens because the .htaccess file is considered to be a hidden file and as such does not get copied over automatically.
First of all, installing a clean Joomla first is totally unnecessary. As for why you are getting the 404 error pages, this is because you probably have URL rewrite enabled in global configuration, while there is not a proper .htaccess file sitting in your new server.
With proper I mean either no .htaccess at all, or one that was setup for your old hosting. I rather tend to think the second.
To test that your moved correctly your site, disable url rewrite from global configuration.
If you would want to test with url rewrites enabled, then I would suggest to edit the hosts file in your computer and point your domain to the ip address of the new server.

I have setup a development server for an issue(see No Input File Specified - Joomla), all is working correct now on the development server apart from no images on the site or inside the administration menu are loading.
When I try to look at them individually they are 403 forbidden.
http://37.26.108.168/~arbersho/
All directories are 755, all files are 644 and the owner is the correct one.
Is this because of the temporary URL and will this be fixed by pointing the domain over?
Thanks again
This was a htaccess issue which is fixed.
I locally designed my site. Then exported MySql database as Sql file and executed the scripts in the real server. Also copied the joomla directory to the server.
Now, I am getting strange 302 redirection errors in my web site, when I am accessing the home page. However, I am able to login into the admin panel. I can see all my contents available.
The redirection happens to the same page, i.e. continuous requests are issued to the index.php/en/ (checked using fiddler).
Am I missing any configurations?
Regards,
Well this is tricky without a link to the site to see the behaviour in person, but it could be that you forgot to upload a .htaccess file or set the Redirect Base or cookie path/domain in the configuration.php (if it's empty then it's probably not a problem, only if you have manually edited it).
