/cgi-system/ appended to all site shortcuts
bestknight - July 30, 2007 - 12:17
I tried to upgrade a 5.1 site to Drupal 5.2 on Dreamhost.
The css file is not found and all html appears "naked" and that is because a /cgi-system/ array is appended to every shortcut as in
www.site.com/cgi-system/?q=admin/settings
instead of the normal
www.site.com/?q=admin/settings
Any ideas?
And the whole site is way too slow.
Thanks in advance
Same problem with Dreamhost
Came across the same problem. This thread might help: http://drupal.org/node/60139
Good luck,

Do we need to disable clean URls before upgrade?
Thanks for the info.
I ended up reinstalling everything from scratch 4 days ago.
However, today I tried to switch PHP from 5.2 to 4.7 through the Dreamhost panel and the problem appeared again. Switching back to php 5.2 didn't solve it. I went through the thread you supplied trying to implement those modifications to .htaccess and settings.php but nothing seemed to work.
Using "not clean" URLs I logged on and disabled and re-enabled clean URLs and everything seems OK now.
I have some more websites to upgrade. I will try the whole upgrade procedure again with Clean URLs disabled and report back if that solves the issue. I will also try switching PHP version, again with Clean URLs disabled.
Again thank you for your input.
On DreamHost, if it inserts
On DreamHost, if it inserts 'cgi-system', you can just set the $base_url variable in the settings.php.
Under the base Drupal installation, I went into sites\default\settings.php and changed
# $base_url = 'http://www.example.com'; // NO trailing slash!to
$base_url = 'http://www.brewday.org/content'; // NO trailing slash!Note that I did not have a trailing slash, and I have my drupal installation in a folder called content. By doing this, I was able to get the installation going and could then proceed with multiple 'sites' within the drupal installation.
I'll see if there is a relevant post in 5.x installations and post this there.
Base url didn't work for me
The base url fix does not seem to work if you have Drupal installed in your top-level directory. I couldn't find an easy fix, and with the added slowness and the other reports of 5.2 taking up more memory, I'm moving back to 5.1.
this is an old post. if base
this is an old post.
if base url fix doesnt work for you it can be a php 4 to 5 change issue.
Drupal to rule them all :) ideviate
