D-Mack Media Forums - Requested URL Not Found

Hi,
First at all sorry for my very bad english.

I've installed the CurrencyConverter without any problem, but when I try to convert any currency I get this message:

"Not Found
The requested URL /components/com_currencyconverter/convert.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

I've checked the url in convert.php and it works fine when I write it in the browser.
I don't know what can I do else about this.

If you like you can check the problem here: test

Thanks for your help

Hi jisert,

Welcome to the Forums!

Not sure what the problem could be. A couple questions for ya...

- have you had any problems with any other components?
- are you running any SEO components/modules?

Sounds to me like it's some sort of 'path/tofile/' issue.

Are you familiar with coding/programming at all? If so, you could try the following (it's quite simple):

Open ajax.js in notepad or a plain text editor. The file is in the front end component/com_currencyconverter directory.

Find the text that shows:

Code:

var url="/components/com_currencyconverter/convert.php?from=" + str + "&to=" + strto + "&val=" + val + "&res1=" + res1 + "&res2=" + res2;

(the above should all be on one line)

Then replace it with:

Code:

var url="http://jisert.joomlatests.com/crazy/components/com_currencyconverter/convert.php?from=" + str + "&to=" + strto + "&val=" + val + "&res1=" + res1 + "&res2=" + res2;

(again, make sure the above is all on one line - i.e. no line breaks)

Save the file, then upload it to your website server in the front end components/com_currencyconverter directory.

Test and (hopefully) enjoy.

Please let us know how you make out!

Cheers!

Thank you very much for your help.

No problem at all Quim/jisert!

Totally glad you got it working!!! Wink

Now, only if you had a couple spare minutes to write a reviw and rating (5 starts of course Big Grin

) on the Joomla! Extensions directory...

Thanks!

Of course I'll do it

Received an email today from a different user with the same problem:

Quote:

After activating the DMack currency converter I got the error message that convert.php was not present on my server. The problem lies in this line of code

var url="/components/com_currencyconverter/convert.php?from=" + str + "&to=" + strto + "&val=" + val + "&res1=" + res1 + "&res2=" + res2;

and the fact that I have joomla in a subdirectory to the main root of the server. After adding the subdir before /components.... all worked. However it should be possible to write the code so that the location of joomla relative to the server root doesn't matter.

Sincerely,
A.M.

Dear A.M. and Jiisert,

I have now figured out the solution and have modified the code to allow the 'path-to-the-component' to be automatically generated. This should also work for sites on/with sub-domains. I will release v1.0.2 of the CurrencyConverter later today that has the fix.

Please feel free to test it out and let me know if you spot any other issues.

Thanks Wink

Just to give you a heads up - the new version - v1.0.2 - has now been uploaded to the server. Feel free to Download the latest version and let me know if you spot any other issues.

Thanks Wink
