Instalation without control of DocumentRoot and folder where I put phpList

ℹ️ Support
1

Hi all,

I am installing a phpList on a server where I cannot change the DocumentRoot for apache (etc/apache2) or the folder where I can put the code (/opt/sites), the installation is up, but I have the error message:

The pageroot in your config does not match the current locationCheck your config file.

Any idea how I can work this? Or is it impossible?

Thanks all!

@lucaslago Please show your config.php setting and say where phplist is actually installed - the path to the phplist admin directory.

config.php with comments removed

<?php

$database_host = 'localhost';

$database_name = 'phplist';

$database_user = 'phplist';

$database_password = '*************';

define('PHPMAILERHOST', '');

define('TEST', 1);

$pageroot = '/phplist';

$language_module = 'portuguese.inc';

$bounce_protocol = 'pop';

define('MANUALLY_PROCESS_BOUNCES', 1);

$bounce_mailbox_purge = 1;

$bounce_mailbox_purge_unprocessed = 1;

$bounce_unsubscribe_threshold = 5;

define('HASH_ALGO', 'sha256');

phpList is in /opt/sites/phplist

adding the result of a sudo apache2ctl -V

@lucaslago What is the URL path to access phplist e.g. https://mysite.com/???

This is the line of code that triggers the warning, can you see why it is happening?

if (strpos(getenv('REQUEST_URI'), $pageroot.'/admin') !== 0) {

well, I changed the URL to newsletter.test.mywebsite.com and left the $pageroot blank.

That solved the issue for me! =)

Thanks for the help @duncanc !!
