Zikula 1.1.2
Authotheme 0.87
Bear with me...
I normally run Zikula Sites, in some cases using Autotheme, without any
problems on the whole. Recently, I was asked to set up a site which was
running on my normal Host running LINUX, onto another Host running Windows.
I wasn't that keen, but decided to give it a go. If nothing else, perhaps
some useful experience...
Zikula installed fine, and Autotheme installed fine (as far as I could
tell). I then copied the Theme from the source Host to the destination
Host, made a few tweaks to account for different URL's etc.
There are a couple of issues (so far):
1. First, not setting the Autotheme Theme in question as the default theme
(i.e. using one of the Zikula built in Themes)
Launching Autotheme from the Admin Panel is ok. Then go into 'Extras',
change a couple of settings, and click 'Save'. The system pauses for maybe
30 seconds or more, and then I get:
"CGI Error - The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a
complete set of HTTP headers"
(Happens when you click Save, whether any options are changed or not)
I noticed some other posts similar to this, but no real clues as to what
may be going on, or any solutions.
Still in the Autotheme Module Admin, in the list of Themes, I select
'Preview' for the Theme, and get:
"The page cannot be found", along with a bunch of guff including "HTTP
Error 404 - File or directory not found.
Internet Information Services (IIS)".
2. Setting the Autotheme Theme as the default theme (I set the Zikula
Admin Theme to something different to ensure access).
If I then 'Home' the Site, I get the "The page cannot be found" blurb.
Then this surprised me a bit. I go to the Autotheme Module Admin, and it
opens in the Autotheme Theme that won't open at all in the Home view.
Admin works as normal, (but still gives the CGI Error if trying to save a
setting). Again doing a 'Preview' gets the page cannot be found.
Looking at the Filesystem, *everything* seems to be writable (777 or
equivalent). It's just a development environment at the moment, so I am
not concerned about that yet.
AS far as I can gather, it's a Windows NT System running PHP 4.4.7 or 5.2.3
(you can choose which version, but the same thing happens as above with
either). Don't know what version of IIS is running. The cPanel available
seems far more limited than what I am used to on a LINUX/Apache system.
That's about as far as I have got.
Everything seems to work fine using the built-in Xanthia Themes, so I guess
Authotheme is unhappy with something. I don't want to turn this into a
dead end monster of a support session (I am sure you have many better
things to do  ), but have you any suggestions what I can look into? It would be
cool to solve this, but not the end of the world if it isn't (well a bit
awkward, but I can live with that if all else fails). I'm also a sucker
for knowledge and getting things fixed...
Any other info that might be useful for you?
Cheers,
Chris

Some more intelligence (I am not giving up on this yet...)
After hacking away at a variety of things (as you do), I went to the Zikula
System Settings, and changed the Start Page Settings : Start Page to No
start module (static frontpage).
As if by magic, the Theme displays (not 100% similar, but only minor
difference in a block width).
I normally have the Start Page pointing to one of the 'Pages' (Page
Module).
If I go to the Page Module Admin, and try to view the page from there, I
get the "Page not Found" as experienced in my first post. This is
obviously becasue I had the Pages Module set as the Start Page for the
CMS.
Now the issue is that if I enable one of the Zikula (Xanthia) Themes (i.e.
SeaBreeze), then everything seems to work fine (Pages display etc), but the
moment I change to the Autotheme theme, I get the Page not Found hassle.
Now here comes more: I started looking at the URL (don't ask why). AFter
a bit of mucking about, I came up with this behaviour:
If I put this:
index.php?module=Pages&func=display&pageid=1
I get the Page not Found.
If I put this:
index.php?Module=Pages&func=display&pageid=1
The Theme displays, but no content (just an empty area where the Page
should display. Apart from that, everything else looks as it should be.
Now comes something which I am sure will have you thinking I am totally
loop-da-friggin-loop:
If I use this:
index.php?module=blah
I get the Page not Found
If I put this:
index.php?Module=blah
I get the Theme displaying without any content (surprise surprise).
I am going to keep banging away at this, as I (seem) to have made some
progress, but it is a bit like wandering around in fog, i.e. if I hit on a
solution, it is just as likely to be an accident as by design...
Is this an indication that there is something amiss with Zikula trying to
display Modules?
Thoughts?

Posting just so you know I'm not ignoring you I don't have
access to a Windows box and am baffled by what you're finding.
Is this running IIS or Apache?
Try changing AUTOTHEME_DEBUG_ENABLED to true at the top of
'modules/AutoTheme/includes/atAPI.php'. Then pay attention to PHP errors
and check the PHP log if you don't see them on screen.

Hey Shawn, no worries. I know you regularly keep an eye out here, and help
out as and when you can. This is a 'best effort' Forum, and I appreciate
whatever you can do. Fortunately, this is not a Mission Critical
situation, though it would save a *lot* of inconvenience if I can get it
sorted.
I too am baffled. I am by no means an expert, but have been using postNuke
and Authotheme for years, so am reasonably familiar.
I am not sure whether it us running IIS or Apache. My guess is IIS as it
supports ASP. I will ask their tech support to confirm.
I tried changing AUTOTHEME_DEBUG_ENABLED to true, but did not get any
on-screen messages, but do not know about the php log. Where do I find
that? I'll do it again shortly.
I am just going to batter away at this bit by bit until I succeed or run
out of time (and go to plan 'B') 
A final comment before I retire tonight (don't know why I didn't try this
before), I set your 'Autotheme' Theme to be the default, (that is the one
installed when you install the Autotheme Module, as I haven't mucked about
with it) to see if it might be something to do with my own Theme (which I
have mucked about with), but I get the same result.
All the best,
Chris

Hi Shawn,
I have no idea if this helps any, but in my stumbling around looking at
stuff I caem across this:
I am not sure what you mean by the 'PHP Log', but looking at the Site
Filesystem (it is IIS), I saw a Folder 'Logs'. In it there are files which
include a datestamp (e.g. ex091024.log). Inside there are lines giving a
heap of information (some of which goes straight over the top of my head),
but maybe means something to you? It has a 'Header' which seems to give
Field Titles, and looks like this:
#Fields: date time c-ip cs-username s-sitename s-computername s-ip s-port
cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query sc-status sc-win32-status sc-bytes
cs-bytes time-taken cs-version cs(User-Agent) cs(Cookie) cs(Referer)
So I did a selective session with the Site to see how the Rows/Records
related to the activity. I list here the sequence I made, and then list
the sequence of records from the Log File. There's going to be a lot of
text coming...
(1) I started in the Autotheme Admin Panel, and selected 'Extras'. No
problem here. The page opens fine.
(2) I clicked 'Save'. There is a pause for around 30 seconds+/-, and then
the CGI Error message appears (in a plain white screen).
(3) I launched the 'Home' page. No problem opening. There is no module
set as the default. Only issue is the block width where the [Center Block]
or [Module] should appear is wider than expected.
(4) I chose a Link that should display one of the pages from the 'Page'
Module. That's when the File not Found/404 message appears as explained in
previous post.
Ok, now the Rows from the Log File: (I have masked out the real IP#'s and
URL's for discretion. If you want them I will give them to you directly by
e-mail if you give me an address....)

That's it.
One thing that seems to spring out immediately to me is an entry in
Row2:
..."/site/modules/typetool/pnincludes/quickbuild.js"...
There is no such Folder Structure in Zikula, but there is in postNuke (e.g.
0.7.6.4), so where does that come from?
Have I the right Log File? If not, where do I find the one you mean...

If you create a PHP file in your Zikula directory, let's say phpinfo.php
containing the following:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
View it in a browser and scroll down to the section 'Configuration
PHP Core' and look for the Directive 'error_log'. If specified, this is
where the log is.

I am going to plan 'B' with this, which is to change the Host to a
LINUX/Apache setup. At least I know it works on that.
It's a pity because the "CGI Error - The specified CGI application
misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers" is an issue
that others have experienced, and it would be good to know how to deal with
it.
So, no need to investigate further.
