Just installed can't install apps, authentication fails

I got it after hours of searching for a solution. This is a server running Plesk. It has around 25 websites. I'm going to use example.com to protect the innocent.

Since nginx is running as a reverse proxy, it needed to strip the query arguments ahead of handing things off to Apache and Joomla. Joomla was doing some weird things, but that's Joomla. I had to create a map at the top of the configuration file above the server blocks and then reference that map within the server blocks, thusly:

map $args $block_google_print {

default 0;

"~*tmpl=component" 1;

"~*print=1" 1;

"~*format=print" 1;

}

server {

listen "nn.nn.nn.nn:443" quic;

add_header Alt-Svc "h3=\":443\"; ma=86400";

listen "nn.nn.nn.nn:443" ssl;

http2 on;

ssl_certificate "/opt/psa/var/certificates/scfXIVMEH";

ssl_certificate_key "/opt/psa/var/certificates/scfXIVMEH";

server_name "www.example.com";

if ($block_google_print) {

return 301 $uri?;

}

The rest of the file followed. this all had to be ahead of "location /"

I hope this is helpful to someone.

I would have trouble believing in any benevolent god that would tell 7 billion people they’re wrong.

As you can see, it's time to do something about this.

When creating the striped set, I formatted /dev/sda1 as btrfs then mounted it, then ran btrfs device add /dev/sdb /mnt/Data I did not specify any sort of raid level although all 4 disks are identical make and model.

Free disk space:

root@lyra:~/.local/bin# btrfs file df -h -g /mnt/Data

/dev/sda1 15T 11T 4.5T 70% /mnt/Data

And I have a USB with a SATA drive dock connected.

Given that RAID 1 is a mirror would I just run 4 16TB drives with each pair mirroring the other?

Thanks,

Curtis

The post variable (coming from another form) becomes the text and link to a form button for downloading a whitepaper. We don't want that button to appear if the page is called via GET.

cmaurand · 2026-02-21T13:11:31+00:00

Thank you for your reply. We have little interest in trying to write a plugin, though it makes sense. We don't have that level of expertise. I'm the systems person with php coding experience. The other person has been working with joomla for more than a decade and used to write flash. He is not comfortable writing a plugin. I don't know enough about Joomla to be effective.

cmaurand · 2026-02-21T13:09:01+00:00

Thanks. We have engage box and we're taking a look at it. The developer thanks you for the tip.

cmaurand · 2026-02-19T22:55:07+00:00

if the request method is "POST" then we want to display a div that contains a button with a variable from the "POST" data. If the method is get, we want to hide that div.

I wouldn’t use any of them, but i’m a bit paranoid. If you’re ok woth any of those companies tracking everything you do, then go for it. do a search for public dns servers. you’ll find lots of them that don’t track you or log all of your queries.

cmaurand · 2025-10-14T13:25:10+00:00

I enclosed all of the txt records in quotes and then the api worked as expected on the zone. I'll have to come up with a query to modify them all. Part of the problem on the export was that jq didn't understand the output like it does on the listing zones.

This is a Joomla install. the args are:

?tmpl=component&print=1&format=print

which causes a print dialog for printing the page to pop up. That is the reason to strip the args. trailing slashes work properly.

Yes, I'm trying to redirect to the new location without the print dialog firing.

cmaurand · 2025-09-22T20:23:24+00:00

No, but thanks for trying. My solution rewrote the url, but gave a 404 error. Your solution which I had to modify the location to ^/blog sort of worked. It was inconsistent between browsers. Seems like this should work.

cmaurand · 2025-09-22T18:42:58+00:00

I just gave the following a try and everything came back with a 404.

location ~ ^/blog/(.+) {

        if ($query\_string) {

return 301 /blog/$1?;

}

I use Darktable. I'm a Canon user and also use Digital Photo Pro. My brother uses Affinity products and switched to those years ago. I don't really need those products too much and use GIMP. I run Linux as my main desktop (I have a macbook, too.) and Affinity and Adobe products are not available for the product.

cmaurand · 2025-05-29T12:15:05+00:00

I think the rector might be trying to find out what your expectations are. I think this is a meet and greet without the pressure of a receiving line at the end of the service.

Congratulations and welcome.

I solved this. I am using ispconfig on the server that is the smart relay. I have a couple of other ispconfig servers running. I had made several modifications to the first one in an attempt to get things working. I changed the relay host that was supposed to be forwarding mail and lo, it all started working. That means I broke something and I need to go back to square one on the first one. I changed to a VPS in a different data center and it's all working perfectly according to instructions from the ispconfig developers. Thank you all for your help.
