Hey guys, I am trying to setup a 7.0 install and tried changing the public share link (Ubuntu 16). Everything seems to be working fine until i try changing the public link from /public/ to /fs/ I started off by doing the following 1. Changed /public to /fs in the pydio admin settings After the above step, when i create a public link it does seem to replace the public/ to fs/ in the public url but i get a JSON error when i click that link. Then based on this forum inputs i did the following. 1. Changed the data/public folder to data/public.bak (And also tried /data/fs) 2. Changed the hard-coded public/ to /fs/ in plugins/action.share/res/minisite.php 3. Removed the three .ser files inside the cache folder Now when i click the link (domain/eshare/fs/X1234G) … the pydio page opens up but it stays on the welcome to pydio popup and loads forever. In the console i see an error as below Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) domain/eshare/public/?&minisite\_session=X1234G&&get\_action=get\_xml\_registry&ws\_id=0.1234565788765&secure\_token=uejhbrf76t43hrfei3487hrfejn30b NOTE: i still see the public/ in the url which i had changed in the minisite.php file. Not sure if this is being cached somewhere else or if i have to do any further steps to make this work. Could anyone help with this plz. All i need it to replace the public/ to fs/ in the public url… I tried the git discussions and on the forums here but i still cant seem to find a good solution for this. NOTE: - My base url is : domain/eshare/ - I have not made any changes inside the htaccess file Thanks R ---

Hi, could you tell me if it’s a fresh install or one that you already had ? ---

Hi, - In Pydio root/.htaccess, please make sure that RewriteBase /eshare - do not create data/fs folder, you should remove/rename fs folder - make sure apache2 rewrite module is enabled (sudo a2enmod rewrite) > [@ra\_85](#): > > Removed the three .ser files inside the cache folder - clear cache data/cache/plugins\_\* > [@ra\_85](#): > > Changed the hard-coded public/ to /fs/ in plugins/action.share/res/minisite.php Do not change this file > [@ra\_85](#): > > Changed /public to /fs in the pydio admin settings Also make sure SErver URL is : [http://domain.com/eshare](http://domain.com/eshare) ---

Hi Zayn/c12simple Yes the install is a fresh one. RewriteBase /eshare : Yes (Was like this) remove/rename fs folder : Yes, i had tried it this way too sudo a2enmod rewrite : verified and active clear cache data/cache/plugins\_\* : Performed this … and after this it now seems to be giving a full 404 page not found 🙂 Changed the hard-coded public/ : I’ve reverted this Server URL is : [http://domain.com/eshare](http://domain.com/eshare) : Yes (Was like this). NOTE: i have checked my apache logs but i couldnt find any error there either. Again, the link generates fine … with domain/eshare/fs/XXXXX but clicking it gets me a 404 page not found. The requested URL /eshare/fs/ca2d94 was not found on this server. Thanks RR ---

Hi Folks, My previous response was flagged here, not sure why… Though i would request : I am new to the community so if i have posted something not in accordance with the rules here I apologize. Very close to resolving this! by the way i have created a public link (on my public server) so if anyone would like to login and check or Teamviewer into it i would be more than happy. After i change the link and do all the steps i now to get the pydio page with the updated ( fs/) link. But in the console i see this XHR failed loading: GET "domain/eshare/ **public** /?&minisite\_session=XXXXX NOTE: the URL in the browser shows domaincom/eshare/ **fs** BUT the link in the console still shows domain/eshare/ **public** … i.e. the new link is not reflecting in the XHR request. I have cleared the cache all over again but this link in the console stays persistent. Another point to note is that when i pick that link from the console and replace the **public** / with **fs** / it loads up an xml file correctly. Which means if i am able to alter that XHR request then it should be working fine. **My Apache logs show the following error (Not sure if this has anything to do with my issue):** Got error ‘PHP message: RuntimeException thrown within the exception handler!\nPHP message: Original exception was: Unable to emit response; headers already sent in /var/www/html/eshare/core/vendor/zendframework/zend-diactoros/src/Response/SapiEmitter.php on line 31\n PHP message: New exception is: Unable to emit response; headers already sent in /var/www/html/eshare/core/vendor/zendframework/zend-diactoros/src/Response/SapiEmitter.php on line 31 #0 /var/www/html/eshare/core/src/pydio/Core/Http/Middleware/SapiMiddleware.php(143): Zend\Diactoros\Response\SapiEmitter-\>emit(Object(Zend\Diactoros\Response))\n #1 /var/www/html/eshare/core/src/pydio/Core/Http/Server.php(247): Pydio\Core\Http\Middleware\SapiMiddleware-\>emitResponse(Object(Zend\Diactoros\ServerRequest), Object(Zend\Diactoros\Response))\n #2 /var/www/html/eshare/core/src/pydio/Core/Http/Server.php(269): Pydio\Core\Http\Server-\>catchError(0, ‘Unable to emit …’, ‘/var/www/html/o…’, 31, Object(RuntimeException))\n #3 [internal function]: Pydio\Core\Http\Server-\>catchException(Object(RuntimeException))\n#4 {main}\n’, referer: domain/eshare/settings/config/core (I stripped the domain out since was unable to post with it) Can anyone guide me on this please. thanks r ---

Guys, Finally the error has been solved so am sharing here what worked for me. So pydio 7.0.0 has the public link hardcoded in two places. 1. plugins/gui.ajax/RichClient.php : line 473 2. plugins/action.share/res/minisite.php : line 19 Change the hardcoded “public/” to any value you wish Then change/add the same value in the admin settings under Pydio main options -\> Public base URI. Then clear cache (There will be 6 files under the data/cache folder starting with the name plugin\_) delete all those 6 files. Upload a file and create a new sharing link and it should work well now with the new link Thanks r
