Mint Forum

Hi, I’m fairly new to Mint, I’ve only been using it for about a month.

I’ve always had a problem with the links in the interface. and can’t seem to chalk it up to anything obvious.

I just did the upgrade but still all my links display similar to: http%3A//blog.ninedays.org/tutorials/

And text often looks like: To Photography%20-%20Ninedays%20Blog%20-%20web%…

Like there’s some crazy encoding problem. The problem is happening in the following Pepper Panels:

• Referrers
• Pages
• Trends Internal
• Trends External

But not in

• Search

I’ve changed nothing in any of the files besides the database connection information and a search through the forums yielded no result. Any suggestions?

Thanks

That doesn’t appear to solve the problem, well that or I am trying to solve it incorrectly.

The root .htaccess looks like this:

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.ninedays.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://ninedays.org/$1 [R=301,L]
AddHandler php4-script .php

I even threw this condition in there too for kicks to no avail.

RewriteCond $1 !^(mint)

And turned RewriteEngine off in the mint .htaccess file.

Am I making the right moves to disable mod_rewrite? Or is this something that won’t have an immediate effect on Mint?

Fantastic, I just checked again and the bad links are filtering out, slowly but surely.

Wish I had actually looked into it before this past weekend’s sudden surge of traffic but that’s why hindsight is 20/20!

Mint is beautiful BTW. I’m so happy I decided to start using it, it’s given me insight into my site that I never knew I wanted!

Turning off mod_rewrite in your Mint directory should prevent future hits from being recorded with encoded urls. It will not affect previously recorded data though.

Are you still seeing the problem in your “Most Recent” tabs?

If not, it’s been fixed and the previously recorded data will expire in (the default) 5 weeks.

From what I can see using #Mint:Debug, there doesn’t appear to be an encoding issue during debug. Is there a specific page that you are observing this issue on?

Back from vacation, still hoping for any ideas on what’s going on.
