Using an ajax helper created for use with Jquery I've created a form that posts comments
to "/comments/add", and this works as expected on my local wamp server but not on my
production server. On my
production server I get a '404 error, cannot find /comments/add'.
I've spent quite a bit of time searching for a resolution with no luck so far. I've focused on trying
to identify a gap but nothing jumps out at me.
Here are some observations:
works as expected on local wamp server
requestHandler is listed as component
files on both local and
production server are the same
controllers folder has write access
autoLayout and autoRender are both set
to false
Here is the form in my view:
<div class="comments form">
<?php echo $ajax->form('/comments/add', 'tournament', array('url' => '/comments/add', 'update' => 'Comments', 'indicator' => 'commentSaved'));?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php __('Add Comment');?></legend>
<div id="commentSaved" style="display: none; float: right;">
<h2>Loading...</h2>
</div>
<?php
echo $form->hidden('Comment.foreign_id', array('value' => $tournament['Tournament']['id']));
echo $form->hidden('Comment.belongs_to', array('value' => 'Tournament'));
echo $form->input('Comment.name');
echo $form->input('Comment.email');
echo $form->input('Comment.web', array('value' => 'http://'));
echo $form->input('Comment.content');
?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $form->end('Submit');?>
</div>
And here is my 'comment's controller add action:
function add() {
if($this->RequestHandler->isAjax())
{
$this->autoLayout = false;
$this->autoRender=false;
$this->Comment->recursive =-1;
$commentInfos = $this->Comment->findAllByIp($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$spam = FALSE;
foreach($commentInfos as $commentInfo)
{
if ( time() - strtotime($commentInfo['Comment']['created']) < 180)
{
$spam = TRUE;
}
}
if ($spam === FALSE)
{
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->data['Comment']['ip'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$this->Comment->create();
if ($this->Comment->save($this->data)) {
$this->Comment->recursive =-1;
$comments = $this->Comment->findAll(array('Comment.foreign_id' => $this->data['Comment']['foreign_id'], 'Comment.belongs_to' => $this->data['Comment']['belongs_to'], 'Comment.status' =>'approved'));
$this->set(compact('comments'));
$this->viewPath = 'elements'.DS.'posts';
$this->render('comments');
}
}
}
else
{
$this->Comment->recursive =-1;
$comments = $this->Comment->findAll(array('Comment.foreign_id' => $this->data['Comment']['foreign_id'], 'Comment.belongs_to' => $this->data['Comment']['belongs_to'], 'Comment.status' =>'approved'));
$this->set(compact('comments'));
$this->viewPath = 'elements'.DS.'posts';
$this->render('spam');
}
}
else
{
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid Action. Please view a post
to add a comment.', true));
$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'pages', 'action'=>'display', 'home'));
}
}
As you can see I've made sure that 'autoLayout' and 'autoRender' are set
to false, but in Firebug I still get a 404 error stating /comments/add cannot be found on the
production server.
I should also point out that I'm using jquery, jquery.form and jquery.editable as well as a ajax helper created
to be used with jquery.
Any help or even suggestions about how
to trouble shoot this is really appreciated.
Cheers,
Paul
