Hello,
I just activated GR from my modules list (I just went there again to check it is activated, and it is) but my node/nid URLs are working fine.

I know there's no configuration page, it just works, but what can I test to find out my problem?

I'm using pathauto.

See that:

ferran@pc-ferran:~$ curl -I http://localhost/drupal57/node/1948

Any ideas? Thanks!

I was just experiencing the same problem actually. Seems as though GlobalRediect does not work if you site is on a local install (like http://localhost/...)

I uploaded my site to an online server and it works. The exact same site on a local install does not work.

Title: node/nid still being served correctly after activating GR... » Possible issue with Drupal installed in a sub-folder.
Component: Miscellaneous » Code

That's odd.... Admittedly, I don't run a localhost dev... I have a VMWare Fedora Core 9 install running which more accurately mirrors my live environment.

In the first case, the site is running in a folder. This is likely to be a problem as there is some code which checked where index.php is being called from; there were issues in the past with modules such as the ad module where global redirect thought that ads were actually base level URL's (very confusing!).

I'll take a look into this...

I'll try it on the server, which is not running in a folder and post back! (it will be in a few days, not right now).

If the issue is that GR doesn't work in that cases, I think there are 2 options: fix it, or just announce it on the module page.

Thanks!

It works on the live server that runs out of the folder!!
Great!

I am using GR on my development PC running locally using XAMPP and it's working just fine.

HansBKK: Are you running it inside a folder or in root - eg...
A) http://localhost/drupal/
B) http://localhost/

I have dozens of sites, and they're all running on their own domain name via my hosts file and Apache's vhosts.

Side questions - why would you point your site root to a subfolder?

I personally dont - I do the same thing you do... Setup domains (in /etc/hosts) and use a VM running Fedora Core 9 along with something resembling VHosts in Lighttpd...

BUT

Some people dont know how to do that... or they have a main site on their domain and want a Drupal blog in a folder (for example... for some reason). In this situation there appears to be an issue with GR not knowing the different between the base path and the path of a module which is doing a bootstrap (eg an ad module providing a lightweight "callback").

An odd issue which I cannot replicate and has not been mentioned since... Possibly fixed? Even if not - sounds like a minor issue associated with localhost hosting...
