Hello all,

I have an issue when I try to start installation in a subfolder:

I have intra1.xxxxxxx.com/app/survey/ where I have copied all limesurvey files

when I execute this path then I am redirected in: intra1.xxxxxxx.com/survey/index.php?r=installer and I get 404 - File or directory not found because this folder doesn't exist of course. This folder is located under app folder and not under home.

Can you please tell me how I can stop this redirection and start the installation?

I would say that you had already installed Limesurvey in that other folder before, with the same database?

Did you change the config file and switch the base url.

Can you please give me a sample of config.php with the base url configuration?

There are a redirection from app/survey to survey on YOUR server, not by limesurvey.

config.php don't need update to be in subfolder

Look at your server config

Hello DenisChenu,

I put die(); on index php and I have noticed that when is executed the last line :
Yii::createApplication('LSYii_Application', $config)->run();
only then is redirecting.
I suppose that the server configuration is correct otherwise index.php would never be executed.

I already have a lot of LS installed on subfolder's : never have issue ...

Try with
here : github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/master/index.php#L212

Hi marvelousvts,

Myself, I always work with LS installed in a subfolder, in a symlink, and it works perfectly fine.
So I bet your problem is not related to LimeSurvey but rather to your server configuration.

please find attached the $config

I can only think of an issue on your server

As Tpartner und Denis say, installing into subfolders is totally normal and I also do it all the time. This is why I tought that you had installed Limesurvey in the root folder of the subdomain first and then moved the files to the subfolder and there was still some trace left.

config.php normally finds the URL itself.

I also think you need to check on your server if there are any redirects or anything.
I would do the following: clean the app folder completly, upload the limesurvey files completely new, make a fresh install in a fresh database and see what happens.

1. This is a sub-subfolder installation.
2. What kind of Webenvironment is it. Installtion under a /app folder is always ringing a bell.
Mostly there is already some kind of webapplication installed with certain redirection routines.

Question A:
Can you install LimeSurvey under intra1.xxxxxxx.com/ls/ ?
If not, why not? What is the restriction?

Question B:
What is the result of phpinfo(); ?
Create a simple textfile with

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and upload it to the root of the webserver. Access it via the browser

BTW: I no longer can use the code button in this forum editor. It is just a greyed out window which cannot be clicked.

And I'm really pissed of that I get a URL limit protection when creating posts. This kind of SPAM-protection is demotivates me of answering posts. This now goes on for a long time. Nothing changed. As a normal user account I see no sense in the URL limit. Where is that preventing SPAM?
