BlogEngine.NET multiple blogs at virtual directories - error 404 - blogengine.net

BlogEngine.NET 2.5 supports multiple blogs, as you can see in this post, and it really does, i tested this feature with subdomains - works fine. But i can't get it work with virtual directories.
in the post you can read this:
...you do not need to create physical directories named blog1 and blog2.
These are virtual directories that BE.NET will look for in the URL to
treat that request to the web server as being on behalf of those blog
instances.
I tryed to add ~/en virtual path from "Add new blog" option in Blogengin.NET settings but I got this error:
HTTP Error 404 - File or Directory not found

Are you on IIS6 or IIS7? I tested with IIS7, both integrated mode and classic mode app pools with success. If you're on IIS6, it's possible one of the wildcard settings for the aspnet_isapi.dll need to be turned on (cannot remember offhand what that setting is).
Another thing to look out for is to make sure a physical directory for "en" does not exist.

Wordpress Issues Regarding IP and Domain Name - Host Gator

I am hoping somebody can help me because I am on the verge of frustration tears.
The company I work for has a site hosted on godaddy and has to remain up until I complete the rebuild on hostgator, using the Wordpress theme, Grand Restaurant http://themes.themegoods2.com/?theme=GrandRestaurant
To get around the domain name issue since I cannot change nameservers yet, I had to use the Google Chrome plugin, Virtual Hosts, which has me input the IP and domain, to force access to the site.
Everything was working fine until I needed to use the "content builder." If you look at the Grand Restaurant theme, you can click on Menu. I need to use the "Menu Grid" option in the content builder but it does not work. Whenever I try to add the menu grid, it appears that it is trying to load (showing the gif loading image) yet in never actually loads. I have spent several days and hours going back and forth with host gator and the theme developer.
The theme developer says that the content builder does not work because:
"The WordPress URL and Site URL are set to the domain name. When you are logged in, you are being redirected to the IP, so the browser sees 2 different sites and some functionality ex. AJAX call doesn't allow you to get data from different URLs.
Your WordPress URL and Site URL settings are different from your actual site. You have to change your Domain Name URL and Site URL settings to the IP number."
I did what he said earlier today and it completely broke the site. Spent nearly 2 hours with host gator's tech support to get it back up. All tech support will tell me in regards to the content builder not working is that I need to change the AJAX file to allow the site URL and wordpress URL to be different. I have no idea how to do that!
Any wisdom you all could provide would be greatly appreciated. I have 1700 bakery items that I need upload by the end of July and I do not know what I am going to do if I cannot get the content builder working.
In order for this to work properly you should be using a method of back up and restore. By migrating from one hosting provider to another you could simply deploy the new Wordpress on host gator as a new site and import the Wordpress backup to the host gator with the many different plugins available through Wordpress. The way your trying to complete this is impossible and usually will only work with images and back ups being managed on virtual machines, and VPS. It won't hurt anything on the original up and running site. You mentioned that host gator was able to get the site back up? You shouldn't have to rebuild this if you use a back up and restore method. Everything should fall right into place, you can also test these methods through virtual box, and VMware virtualization products which offer trial versions. Try using a migration method and see if the conflicts still persist with the content builder.
Heres is what I would do if you cannot change the domain over but still use the domain for the dev environment.
Modify your hosts file and use hostgators IP and the company domain as the entry.
Install wordpress to the current company domain by simply entering the domain (Should go to hostgators server since you've added that entry in your hosts file)
With the hosts file modification, you should be able to view the wordpress site thats hosted with hostgator using the live domain name.
This way, when you're launching, theres no need to do any modification on wordpress. Simply change the DNS over, revert your hosts file and the site will swap over seamlessly.

Joomla backend not shown correctly

I'm using Joomla 2.5 and the backend is not shown correctly. It seems that the template is not loaded correctly.
This is my page:
http://www.fussball.tsg-kastel.de/administrator/
The page as such is shown correctly but as you see, the backend isn't...
Try doing this:
Rename the admin templates folder on the host server (for a backup)
FTP transfer of an admin template folder from another Joomla site and then copy it from the FTP location using a file manager into the admin templates folder.
You could have a corrupt file or just missing some files from installation. This has happened to people before and by doing these two steps it seemed to solve their issue.
Hope this works out for you.
You probably have a fatal error. Go to configuration.php and change error reporting to development. This will render the error to the browser (alternatively check your apache error log). I predict you probably have a plugin problem -- perhaps your host updated PHP version for example. Whatever it is, deal with that problem.

Moved Joomla 1.7 Site to New Server. Admin works fine. No pages display

I've just moved a Joomla 1.7 site to a new server.
Administration back-end works fine. Configuration.php seems fine. Get "The requested document was not found on this server." for every page other than Home.
Must be talking to the database OK or I'd get an error. Could this be a problem with the PHP?
Thanks,
Andy
Did you clear joomla cache ?
Disable page and/or module caching.
Disable any plugin that optimizes "loading speed".
Try removing SEF URLs (Joomla! and any 3rd party extension).
If you are using a custom .htacess, then use an unmodified joomla one.
Disable some system plugins.
Disable modules in the homepage.
Have you tried using another template (site) ?
You have Seach Engine Friendly URLs enabled in /administrator/ area's global configuration settings. You have probably enabled the option to use the mod_rewrite function which removes the /index.php/ portion of the urls.
It is a requirement of this mode that you have the .htaccess file in place in the root of your site. You probably had this correctly configured on your development server but perhaps forgot to move the file across when you went live. Some FTP programs hide dot files (files starting with a leading dot in the filename) so depending upon how you transferred the files (I'm guessing manually with FTP rather than Akeeba backup or similar) the file may have been missed. Look through your FTP client's options/preferences for an option to show/hide hidden files.
Failing this - the file could be correctly in place - but if you were developing in a sub-folder on your development server you would have set the RewriteBase line to your /sub-folder/
RewriteBase /sub-folder/
Now you've moved to the live server this line could be incorrect. If this is the case, edit the file to Read
RewriteBase /
Chances are it is one or other of these issues - missing .htaccess file or incorrect RewriteBase. A third and nowadays somewhat more unlikely option is that your server doesn't have mod_rewrite enabled - but I think that would result in server 500 errors.
Check whether you are using any modules that is calling database and you have not changed DB details in that module after migration. If admin panel is working fine then I think problem with some modules that are used in front-end. You can do debugging by disabling few suspected modules and check whether your site works fine or not. Else provide some more information about your site so that I can check further.

why my IgnoreRoute does not work?

I want to prevent users access for my "~/Content/..." folder I wrote it as follow in "Global.asax.cs" and put this line of code at the top of every other routes
routes.IgnoreRoute("Content/{*pathInfo}");
but it does not work. in fact user can see every files in content folder by type the URL in browser.
am I missing something?
How did you figure out that it does not work? Give example.
You may have put it last in the Routing table. So try to move it up so that it gets added to the routing table first. The route collection is an ordered list of routes.
Also try this : Routes.IgnoreRoute("Content/");, but your version of ignore is also correct and it should work.
Lastly, I do not know what you mean when you say the user can see all the contents of the Content folder : Isn't that the point? User must be able to download files from the folder, and we usually just need MVC to ignore the requests from coming into the framework, and so that IIS can directly serve those files.
or did you mean Directory browsing is enabled, and you want to disable that : In that case go to IIS manager, and select your website and look for the Directory browsing option and disable it as shown here.
Your problem cannot be solved by routing constraints. There are 3 significant steps in processing request:
IIS got request.
IIS watch at filesystem and search for direct correspondence to file
If IIS didn't found any file - it gives request to ASP.NET MVC for processing.
So, you need to configure folder security to forbidden direct access to files, but allow access to application, as here.
But I don't recommend to secure folder, that should be shared. I don't believe that your site shouldn't have images to display :) If you have some secured content, you need to create another folder.

Troubles after installing Two stores with same php docroot

I am trying to setup multiple stores within same hosting account and I studied many interesting guides out there on the matter.
Seems to me I figured out simplest solution for me - map both my dot com sites onto the same directory on host, and modify .htaccess to launch different website depending on URL, like so:
SetEnvIf Host .*anatscraftonia.* MAGE_RUN_CODE="anatscraftonia";
SetEnvIf Host .*anatscraftonia.* MAGE_RUN_TYPE="website";
My first store works fine, but when I go to anatscraftonia.com , all I get always is a Magento 404 page.
I checked all settings, multiple stores are defined and code above is copy/paste from Admin console under Website I added. I have Home page enabled for All Stores and Base URL redefined for both Secure/Unsecure. I also tried changing website to store, with no improvements.
What else am I missing? How do I even know what page is it trying to go to, or whether it even gets “no-route” or just totally whacked…
I threw together some quick and dirty code a few years ago to log the controller dispatch process in Magento Community 1.3x.
http://alanstorm.com/magento_controller_dispatch_logging
I don't think you'll be able to drop those files into a current installation, but it should give you an idea where to stick some logging functions to see why Magento is routing to a 404.
I am not 100% sure what you are trying to achieve but why not use a single instance of magento to handle both stores and magentos own multi store capability..
full details here http://dx3webs.com/front/2010/08/magento-multistore-setup-under-plesk/ post contains links to cpanel instructions as well.
the instructions are for multiple domains but will work with sub folders
