Default theme only works in maintenance mode

If you aren’t able to figure it out, you might have more luck searching for this as a Drupal hosting issue more generally. It is not specific to farmOS.

The fact that all links are 404ing is a good clue. Is the 404 page a Drupal 404 or a generic Apache 404? This would tell you whether or not Drupal is receiving the request or not. If Drupal isn’t receiving the request for the CSS/JS file, then it can’t generate the aggregated files and save them to the files directory. This feels like an Apache configuration issue to me, but it will take some debugging to trace the exact cause I think.

lmcmullen · July 15, 2024, 2:46pm

it’s definitely an Apache 404… so I’ll start digging into the apache angle.

mstenta · July 15, 2024, 2:49pm

@lmcmullen Good luck! That’s a good clue.

@bejuco I wonder if you are experiencing the same thing?

bejuco · July 15, 2024, 6:07pm

Yeah, all /sites/default/files/css and /js related stuff have 404 errors on the acces log.

They also have crazy paths. For example:

/sites/default/files/js/js_rAH38gm8rBrYefWrcvOwTNYozvIfkRe9vDHjYc1YJuM.js?scope=footer&delta=0&language=en&theme=gin&include=eJx9TtEOgzAI_KFqv2FfYhBRiW1pKJpsXz_N1i3rwx4I3B3HgaLkk2iEwA9yGEDFL0FGCF2xe-C0uIWTP8vhtTvpniH0gMYHdae-VX3gxPYBgEjpBYsxbnc3g8Zh58FWiuRnESNtyJVC_omZVPK4m0lyJhJGUP_ujbOyNb7ivZDWY9fcM0oqDqb4Xarm3pToj9SvcpwvtxIVhEy3y9Y8pbTwmfYEmiqJvQ

I finally identified my issue. The tar file is downloaded with the name farmOS. In my farmos.conf file, I was using /var/www/html/farmOS/web as the DocumentRoot but /var/www/html/farmos/web as the Directory. Case does matter in Linux/Unix.

pat · August 23, 2024, 7:49am

@bejuco Did you find the solution to this?
I had exactly the same thing.

Need to use 777 and files/css/ files/js/ are not created.

I’ve verified that my Apache user is www-data.

pat · August 23, 2024, 8:08am

I don’t seem to have the 404 errors

But I do get this error in the farmOS Recent Log Messages :

I’ve tried creating the css-folder like this

sudo -u www-data mkdir /home/jk/farmos-project/farmos/web/sites/default/files/css

And it’s created, but also deleted by the site.

It makes me wonder if the site actually creates the css-folder in the …/files/ folder.
Or if it’s related to the fact that only 777 works.

Edit:
I do get 404
[Fri Aug 23 11:15:55 2024] [::1]:42278 [404]: GET /sites/default/files/js/js_LpFqHN-hFKs7s2si.....etP5dg - No such file or directory

Definitely sounds like a permissions issue.

You shouldn’t need to create any directories inside the files directory manually (like css or js). Drupal will do that for you, as long as it can write to files.

I wonder what directory is actually being created by mkdir() when it runs into this. Maybe it’s something else that’s breaking, before it can even get to the next step of saving CSS/JS. It would require a bit of digging but you might be able to debug that line of PHP itself to find out.

If it’s helpful, this is the official Drupal documentation: https://www.drupal.org/docs/administering-a-drupal-site/security-in-drupal/securing-file-permissions-and-ownership

mstenta · August 23, 2024, 12:20pm

A search for “drupal css aggregation doesn’t work” reveals lots of results. Not sure if any are helpful but here are two:

Ultimately this is a Drupal setup issue not specific to farmOS, so chances are the answer is out there somewhere, if not on this forum. If you do trace it down please summarize what the issue was here for others!

pat · August 23, 2024, 2:48pm

A bit tricky this one.
In the Drupal docs I found a script supposed to fix the permission issues.

I ran it and it fixed a few without giving me any more errors.

All checks passed, go!
Processing Drupal installed on '/home/jk/farmos-project/farmos/web'
Fixing ownership of files and directories
Fixing permissions on code files and directories
  Setting permissions on code directories to u=rwx,g=rx,o= under 'web'
  Setting permissions on code files to u=rw,g=r,o= under 'web'
  Setting permissions on vendor code directories to u=rwx,g=rx,o= under '../vendor'
  Removing all permissions on vendor code files to other users (o=) under '../vendor'
Fixing permissions on content files and directories under 'sites' folder
  Checking folder default
    Setting permissions on content directories to u=rwx,g=rwx,o= under 'files'
    Setting permissions on content files to ug=rw,o= under 'files'
Processing additional content folders

Permissions and ownership fixed!

Still not a fix for my problem, but propably a useful tool

mstenta · August 23, 2024, 3:23pm

Running scripts off of GitHub is very risky! (Regardless of where you found the link!)

I would always prefer to (and recommend) understanding the considerations and making these changes manually so you know what’s happening. This is part of the responsibility of hosting your own farmOS (or any Drupal)! Its on you to make sure it’s configured properly and can’t be hacked.

Either that or put it behind a firewall/basic authentication so it isn’t publicly accessible at all.

pat · August 23, 2024, 9:05pm

Good point

I might have stumbled upon a clue on this case tho…

Webserver of a working docker-setup:

Webserver of the problem setup:

Maybe they need different permissions…

Nah… same old…
