Hello support,
The instructions for creating an FPA are simple and it is not the first time I have done this.
But after installing the file fpa-en.php in the folder where configuration.php and the folder administrator are, I went to the homepage of the site and added a slash afterthesiteinquestion.com, appended fpa-en.php and then gave an ENTER on the keyboard. That lead immediately to an 404 error. Checked again for the presence of the fpa-en.php file in the correct folder, but to no avail ; I always got an an 404 file not found error (I did not CHMOD the fpa-en.php file either). Since it is a multilingual site I also tried removing the country code before appending fpa-en.php but always the 404 error re-appeared. The site has recently been migrated from 4.4.6 to 5.1.2.
I noticed problems lately updating a couple of extensions (OOPS SOMETHING WENT WRONG RED PAGES). I HAD TO REINSTALL and re-configure the extensions again (had no problem under the former J4 4.4.6 release).
Since I have a new site in the making on MAMP, I tried to append pa-en.php to that new J 5 site and the fpa page appeared so the script is working locally but not on the hosted live site. It’s all about trying to update php from 8.1 to 8.2 or maybe 8.3 that caused the dreaded WOOOPS pages on the live site.Anyway the client gets fed up with Joomla (to geeky for him) and is looking for a solution like wix or jimdo (not WP).
I have other sites that cannot be updated to php 8.2 because of the—oops something went wrong etc —and since FPA is not working for me @ the moment I’ll have to make choices where to go from here… I use this same hosting co already for ±10 years without a serious problem.
Thanks for your thoughts. Kompas.
