Need someone who knows PHP

I am having problems with my MSRS and have been told it's the htaccess. I don't know this stuff, but want to get my site running properly so I'm willing to pay a little something to the person who can fix it.

You can see the thread here that describes the problem.

PM if you have questions or want to let me know your price.

Thanks,

PM me details with your price.
I might do that.

 

Please tell me price you are paying

 

The entries in your htaccess file just map search engine friendly urls to actual urls containing query strings. There is nothing wrong with your htaccess file, its doing its job just fine. Its the original url (for example, http://www.findlayouts.info/index.php?app=myspace-layouts) that is not working (just serving contect of home page for every request). Try replacing the index.php file with the original file you recieved from the previous site owner. If that does not work, upload all (php) files again. Hopefully, it will work.

 

I was afraid someone might say that.

I edited the index.php to add the wavy scroller script, and it worked fine for several weeks. Then one day just nothing.

I'll try it with the original and see what happens. Hopefully I can get the scroller working again, tho, as it seems to bring in a lot of people.

Thanks for the suggestions, Zulu.

PM ME price.

I think I know this because I faced a similar problem when I changed hosting. Later I fixed it.

I can try.

 

Perhaps, you broken up the code while editing index.php file. Replace it with the original file, and insert the scroller code again. I dont think its that hard, since its only a small piece of plain html code to insert in index.php. If you face any difficulty while inserting it again, just shoot me a PM for help.

it worked or not? the way i told you?

 

Actually it was the index.php. I had modified the wrong one? I made my changes to the one in the root directory, but that's not the one I needed to use.

The nice guy I purchased them from got me straightened out. Still don't know which file to update in the future, but at least they're working now.

Thanks to everyone who offered advice, suggestions, or their time to help me!!

Thanks Zulu, I did screw up the index file. I edited the wrong one, but for the life of my I don't see the one he told me to update in the future. He told me the path, but when I open that file, I see nothing that looks like the hope page. Maybe I'm using the wrong editing app. What should I use to edit these darn php files?

Thanks for your reply.

simple notepad will do.

 

I can handle that. I was using Frontpage, but I think I heard it adds some hidden code to the file.

 

This is the absolute system path to the file you need to edit:

/home/origami1/public_html/findlayouts/apps/home/index.php

Code (markup):

You will find it at /findlayouts/apps/home/index.php in your public_html directory through FTP. It should contain mostly html code that you can easily understand. But dont interfere with blocks of code enclosed by <? and ?>, they are php code blocks. You can use any text editor to edit php files but avoid frontpage, it does not understand php code blocks and may corrupt them.
