How to create my own scripts in a protected folder?

Here is what I am doing:

I added a protected folder.

Products->Protected Content->Folders

Added a new record

Title = The List
Hide = Not Checked
Path to Folder = C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo\thelist
Folder URL = http://localhost/development/trafficbrowser_demo/thelist
Protection Method = New Rewrite
Access Permissions = this item is available for all registered customers.

Then Hit Save

Then Refreshed the database as instructed [Utiltites->Rebuild Db]

I place this file in my folder that I made [thelist]

PHP:

<php>
<?php include("C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo\library\Am\Lite.php"); Am_Lite::ANY;

      echo "Test Page!"
?>
</php>

I sign out of Admin and login as a user

Under Your Subscriptions I see a Link to "The List" but when I click on it it keeps redirecting to this url
http://localhost/development/trafficbrowser_demo/no-access/folder/id/1

It keep telling me that access is denied.

What am I doing wrong ?

Here is the documents I am using as a reference http://www.amember.com/docs/Content/PHPScripts

I am using 4.1.3 Beta

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the code, on the docs page I was not really sure what to replace.

I still can't get it working correctly.

Here is a video that I just made from start to finish. Maybe you can see what I am doing wrong?

http://trafficbrowser.com/resources/video/amemberFolderProblem/amemberFolderProblem.html

I am not sure but maybe the .htaccess file has something to do with it ? I did change the path from /amember to /members ?

Here is that file from root that I changed

Code:

#  Sample Nginx rules configuration:
#  aMember rules (replace /amember to actual aMember Pro path from site root)
#
#      location ~* ^/members/.*\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|swf|csv)$ {}
#      location ~* ^/members/setup/index.php$ { try_files not-existing-file @php; }
#      location ~* ^/members/js.php { try_files not-exiting-file @php; }
#      location ~* ^/members/index.php$ { try_files not-existing-file @php; }
#      location ~* ^/members/public.php$ { try_files not-existing-file @php; }
#
#      location ~* ^/members/public { rewrite ^.*$ /members/public.php; }
#      location ~* ^/members/setup { rewrite ^.*$ /members/setup/index.php; }
#      location ~* ^/members { rewrite ^.*$ /members/index.php; }
#
#  you must already have something like that in your nginx configuration:
#
#      location ~ \.php$ {
#          try_files not-existing-file @php;
#      }
#      location @php {
#        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
#        include fastcgi_params;
#      }
#
#  it is necessary to have @php section, as it is referred by aMember rules, and
#  it must be located at bottom
#
#
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^public public.php [L]
    RewriteRule ^js.php js.php [L]
    RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|swf|csv)$ index.php
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
</IfModule>

Hum I changed the folder to Free "this item is available for all registered customers"

But nothing seems to work. I keep getting the denied error as mentioned above.

I even changed my code of the php index.php

PHP:

<?php
//include("C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo\library\Am\Lite.php");
//Am_Lite::checkAccess(Am_Lite::ONLY_LOGIN, 'The List Page');
      echo "Test Page!"
?>

Could this be a bug ? Nothing seems to be working.

I think I been getting my local copy on my computer C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo and my live site confused.

/members is from my live site. Ignore those....

Anyway in an effort to debug. I renamed .htaccess to disabled.htaccess in the folder "thelist" now when I surf to it from a user account I no longer get the disabled message, but I do get a 404 error.

I know for a fact that http://localhost/development/trafficbrowser_demo/thelist/ should work. Something seems to be messed up with the .htaccess from the root folder of trafficbrowser_demo aka "amember" directory.

I also tried the exact url of the file itself.
http://localhost/development/trafficbrowser_demo/thelist/index.php

Here is the root .htaccess file

Code:

#  Sample Nginx rules configuration:
#  aMember rules (replace /amember to actual aMember Pro path from site root)
#
#      location ~* ^C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo/.*\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|swf|csv)$ {}
#      location ~* ^C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo/setup/index.php$ { try_files not-existing-file @php; }
#      location ~* ^C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo/js.php { try_files not-exiting-file @php; }
#      location ~* ^C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo/index.php$ { try_files not-existing-file @php; }
#      location ~* ^C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo/public.php$ { try_files not-existing-file @php; }
#
#      location ~* ^C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo/public { rewrite ^.*$ C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo/public.php; }
#      location ~* ^C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo/setup { rewrite ^.*$ C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo/setup/index.php; }
#      location ~* ^C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo { rewrite ^.*$ C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo/index.php; }
#
#  you must already have something like that in your nginx configuration:
#
#      location ~ \.php$ {
#          try_files not-existing-file @php;
#      }
#      location @php {
#        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
#        include fastcgi_params;
#      }
#
#  it is necessary to have @php section, as it is referred by aMember rules, and
#  it must be located at bottom
#
#
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^public public.php [L]
    RewriteRule ^js.php js.php [L]
    RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|swf|csv)$ index.php
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
</IfModule>

Looking in this folder C:\xampp\htdocs\development\trafficbrowser_demo\data\new-rewrite

It has about 13 empty files inside all with 0 KB worth of data. Not sure if that means something..

Thanks in advance.

Well my amember Folder was renamed to something else.. Would that cause a problem?

I moved the folder, deleted the .htaccess inside that folder. Deleted and Readded the protected options, but it's still saying it's denied, just like above.

Have you protected your aMember folder?

Sorry maybe I did not say it clearly... I renamed the amember folder. Mainly so I would not get any hackers looking for amember installs. Search on google.com "/amember/signup" to see every site running amember scripts.

I just downloaded 4.1.5 I am going to start from scratch again, this time I will keep it as amember to see if it installs correctly.

I just put in a help desk ticket...

I just reinstalled and setup everything.. I am not getting accessed denied anymore but I am getting this error on my local server on my machine.

But on my live site I am only getting a white page with no content. This happens when I click the link to the protected folder in my user account.

I am now using 4.1.5 on both my local server and my live server.

I stand corrected, on my live site it does error out with 4.1.5 it makes an error_log in the folder I am working on.. Here is the error.

Hope this helps.

ok

On my development computer (local machine) I corrected the code

But I am still getting an error.

On my Live Site the corrected code, then the first time I surfed to the protected folder I got a server error, I refreshed the page and it started working.

The protected file is the exact same one that's on my server, It's just a copy and paste from your corrected code above on reply #13 with a different path.

Edit: Forgot to Mention that I am using version : 4.1.5.1ff2d38
PHP Version: 5.3.2

I upgraded the localhost with the new amember version, I am not getting the error no more.. the link protection seems to be working but the folder protection keeps giving me access denied on PHP 5.3.x

http://trafficbrowser.com/resources/video/aMemberFolderProblem2/aMember Folder Problem.html

My Live site works great running PHP 5.2.7 but I can't get it working on PHP 5.3.5 on my local machine. My server is planning to do a upgrade soon that's why I am concerned. Any known bugs on PHP 5.3.5 ? should I upgrade to the most stable current version of PHP 5.3.8 ?

Thanks.

If you looking to produce this on your own desktop I have included the server and the project.

http://trafficbrowser.com/resources/temp_files/xampp.zip

Includes XAMPP, MYSQL, aMember project

1. Extract to C: Only if you don't have XAMPP installed already. it should look like this c:/xampp
2. Start the server c:/xampp/xampp-control-default.exe Start PHP and MYSQL
3. Surf to http://localhost/development/trafficbrowser/amember/admin (for Admin)
http://localhost/development/trafficbrowser/amember/ (for Users)

Admin Account
