josh1r Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hi. I'm using a very old version of osc (I honestly don't recall which one, nor do I recall how to check, as it's been ages since I've worked on my site). In any case, I just noticed this error: This site can’t be reached 127.0.0.1 refused to connect. Try: Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED I contacted my webhost who said: "It seems that the website is set to redirect its home URL to 127.0.0.1, which is localhost. I attempted to manually check your files and database for any entries for this, but I was unable to find how to alleviate it from the server side." Again, I haven't made any changes to the site in many months/years, so I assume the host changed something on their end that would have caused the issue. If I manually type in a url from the website, I can completely browse the site. It seems that only going to the home page of / or /index.php causes the problem. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 The cause will most likely be in either the includes/configure.php file or the roots .htaccess file. I think the latter is the more likely. There is probably incorrect redirect code in it. You can post it here if you would like someone to look at it.

josh1r Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 That unfortunately didn't help However, after changing php version to a newer one, but then reverting to the older version of 5.2 that I've been using (since my old version of osc can't handle newer php), https://www.domain.com/index.php now works fine, although https://www.domain.com still gives the 127...error. Any idea why not having index.php would work? Separately, and I haven't looked into this yet, is it remotely easy to get my old osc working with newer php? Or is that going to be an overwhelming task? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotclutch Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 RewriteRule ^/?.*$ "http\:\/\/127\.0\.0\.1" [R,L] This is clearly the rule causing the redirect to 127.0.0.1 I don't see how changing the php version would have any effect here. Your old osC can be patched to work on php 7+. You need to add a debugger to show you the errors, then you can ask for advice here on the open forum on how to fix them. Alternatively you need to hire someone to do that task for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotclutch Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 It just occurred to me that, Hash (#) may not work with all server configurations. So you can try completely removing the .htaccess code i mentioned before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh1r Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 I completely removed the line above mentioning the 127 from my .htaccess file and it still doesn't work Regarding the debugger, can you point me in the right direction to get started?

That may cause you to think the htaccess change is not working. yeah, even tried different browsers and other computers. as for the debugger. i have it installed and am seeing various items on the screen (I set it to 'screen' for now). how do i best proceed in figuring out what is causing errors due to php version? do i need to first change php version at my host, then see what happens? normally i can't get the site to work at all if the php is too new.

Hotclutch Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Which version of osC are you running now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotclutch Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 In your host control panel there may be an option under php configuration -> display errors. If it is set to off, then you may need to turn it on. You need to change the php version to see the errors. V2.3.4.1 patched can run on php7.4 Most of the errors will be of the type: 1) The each() function is deprecated. 2) Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP Depending on how far back you are, you may have more work to do.

josh1r Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Thank you and, to confirm, if I upload the compatibility file above, will it make changes to other files/dbase (hence that's what I need to backup)? Assuming I try this, what happens next (i.e. might it magically fix the site and make it work with higher versions of php, will it generate errors showing what else I need to fix, or might it just break the site)?

Thank you. Where will I find the errors? Just in the browser itself, or is there some reporting somewhere? And, in your best guesstimate, based on my very old version, are there likely to be a ton of errors/it won't be easy to fix, or is there a chance I get lucky and it's not so bad?

Jack_mcs Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 @josh1rI suggest you rename the .htaccess file to .htaccessOFF and the try going to the site with no file name in the url. If it works, the problem is in that file. Note that doing this may prevent parts of the shop from working so don't leave it changed. Just rename it for a quick test and rename it back.

Are you saying that if you go to your site without a file name, like ...com/ that it redirects to 127.0.0.1? If so, then check your includes/application_top.php file for that IP or any redirect code to an external site. If you can't find it, then it would have to be due to your server or something with your computer. To make sure it is not the latter, enter your url in http://kproxy.com and see if the problem still exists. If it does, then it is your server. I know your host said otherwise but that doesn't mean it is true. I suppose one final possibility is that your code has hacker code in it. To check that, copy all of your files to your computer and search for the IP and any link to http:// and https://. The last two will return some results since some modules will have url's so you need to evaluate each one to see if they are valid or not.
