Host changed server and blank site with error. FPA inside Topic is solved

What do you have in the root directory that is not in the/joomla4 directory?

[Webdongle]

I suggest
1. Using Akeeba backup to make a copy of the site (you can omit the /joomla4 directory in Akeeba's settings).
https://www.akeeba.com/compatibility.html
2. Create a new directory and database and install the backup to them.
If the problem exists there (with the original files/database) then the problem is the site not the server.
(you can also copy the backup to wamp localhost)

The website hadn't been updated in almost 7 years and it worked regularly in the previous server, it just started mishbehaving once they migraded server

But a vanilla Joomla works in a directory but your site does not work on the root. So either something on the server is acting differently on the root or something in your site is conflicting with the server settings.

The method I suggested will help discover which.

[gws]

.htaccess/web.config: No (ReWrite Enabled but no .htaccess?) enable .htaccess
Session Path Writable: No Must be yes,speak to server hosts
Open Base: /home/nomadtra/:/tmp:/var/tmp:/opt/alt/php81/usr/share/pear/:/dev/urandom:/usr/local/lib/php/:/usr/local/php81/lib/php/ This points to php 8.1 and you are using php 7.3. It would be much better if you server admins removed the open base directive altogether.

Did you fix these? If not then you will have problems.
Repost the FPA please.

The Htaccess yes.
The rest I sent to my host, I don't know if they did anything.
The FPA as written before doesn't work anymore. It redirect to HTTPS and give a 404 error

Under your circumstances I would look for a more competent host.

5 ) I tried using a default .htaccess file temporarily ( From https://docs.joomla.org/preconfigured_htaccess )

That page is out of date. The latest preconfigured .htaccess includes the Brotli compression in the Gzip section:

Code: Select all

	# Serve correct content types, and prevent mod_deflate double compression.
	RewriteRule "\.css\.gz$" "-" [T=text/css,E=no-gzip:1,E=no-brotli:1]
	RewriteRule "\.js\.gz$" "-" [T=text/javascript,E=no-gzip:1,E=no-brotli:1]

This doesn't seem to work, is it possible to find a default .htaccess file for PHP 3.9.x ?

[gws]

You can download J3 packages here and extract the relevant .htaccess.

Hi, I made a ton of edits based on your feedback and with the older default Joomla files from https://downloads.joomla.org/cms/joomla3 and it now works ~

That suggests there was a failed update attempt that @phidias81 never told anyone about. Thus creating a mixture of files from different versions of Joomla?

Wrong. I did try and said it about a month ago, after I was suggested to do so.

Plus as already mentioned, the website stopped working right after migration without me doing anything, not even updating
