dompdf is returning an error when I try to save a PDF?
dompdf, for all its greatness, is not perfect. There are a number of known issues with it that Banana Dance can't do much about. Here are some solutions that could solve the problem:
  • Try setting permissions on the "includes/dompdf/lib/fonts" folder to 777.
  • Try removing tables with nested elements in them.
  • Try using smaller tables.
When I click a link, I am getting a "404 Not Found" error

1. If you installed the program into a sub-directory, change the following line on your .htaccess file from:

#RewriteBase /folder_name

To:

RewriteBase /folder_name

Be sure to change folder_name to the actual name of the folder into which you installed Banana Dance.

Issues with the .htaccess file: 500 error

While the .htaccess file has been designed to work on most servers, some users may experience 500 errors due to their server configurations. Before doing anything, confirm that the issue is actually your .htaccess file by renaming it on your server to "___.htaccess". Reload your page, and if the 500 error is gone, you now know that the issue is with the .htaccess file.

1. We first recommend contacting your web host to ensure that mod_rewrite is enabled on your server. If it is, continue to step 2 below but understand that removing any of the following lines could pose security threats. We highly recommend working with your web host to enable these generally standard features before removing anything!

2. Try removing the following lines from your .htaccess file:

<ifmodule mod_deflate.c>
	AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript
</ifmodule>

3. If that does not work, try removing:

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off

4. If the problem persists still persists, while not recommended, you can try removing these lines as well:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} mosConfig_[a-zA-Z_]{1,21}(=|\%3D) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode.*\(.*\) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\<|%3C).*script.*(\>|%3E) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [F,L]

5. If after all of this you still have issues with the 500 error appearing, it may be unrelated to the .htaccess file. Please contact us for free support (during beta only).

Hi all, you can fix this by rename file user.php to user2.php, and edit file index.php to include "user2.php"; at line 115.

Probably a newbee question, but the install complain about rights. The generated folder has to be set to 777. When i put all the rights in my Windows 7/XAMPP to the right configuration, i still see that red remark. (also after a refresh/restart xampp)

Hi. I have followed your suggestions in this page.
I just learned mod_rewrite is supported (1). I removed 2, 3(not supported), 4. But I still get Error 500. Any idea?
Thanks
Giuseppe

Mine is fully installed and I was able to get past the initial 500 error. Now, it appears that whenever I click on the "admin" link it gives another 500 error. My site: http:wiki.godrules.net. Trying to figure out how to get that properly working.


Sincerely
Tony
