I open this area of the forum for general public discussion regarding the upcoming Elxis 4.0 Nautilus.
First some very general facts regarding this new Elxis generation.
What is Elxis Nautilus?
Elxis Nautilus is the first release of the Elxis 4th generation (2006.x, 2008.x, 2009.x, 4.x) . Unlike 200x.x generations, which were based on Mambo CMS, Elxis Nautilus designed and built 100% by the Elxis Team. It is a technology edge software, flexible, modern, secure, powerful. It has features you have never seen in a CMS. In Elxis we do not copy others, we bring in life our own ideas. It is written 100% in an object oriented (OO) programming style in PHP5, while it is almost ready for the future PHP6! Note that it is also HTML5 ready!
When will be ready?
An alpha (test) version will be available in about a month. The alpha version will be only for internal (Elxis Team / Elxis Community) use and tests. A second beta (also test) version will be released to public later. The final stable Elxis 4.0 release will be ready by the end of summer 2012.
Some features and notes
- Elxis 4.x is NOT compatible to Elxis 2009.x
- Extensions for Elxis 2009.x are NOT compatible with Elxis 4.x
- There are 6 types of extensions: components, modules, content plugins, search engines, authentication methods, templates.
- Extensions can be updated by uploading a newer version, without having to uninstall the old one.
- Multi-sites: You can have multiple sites with just one Elxis installation. Sub-sites are totally independent, while they share the same file system (with some limits).
- Built-in multi-linguism, Elxis Defender, Logs, Backup (filesystem/database), traffic statistics, Open Search, automatic translator, RSS/ATOM feeds per category.
- Introduction of exit pages (404, 403, forbidden, fatal, login, offline, etc). You can design your own exit pages in your template.
- Frontpage designer allows you to setup the layout of the site's frontpage the way you like it. You can also display what ever you like in frontpage.
- Categories-subcategories of any level. Content sections were deprecated.
- The layout and style of a page (category, article) is set by the page parameters it self, not by the menu item.
- Just 1 menu type (link) for all Elxis links. Other 3 menu types for special cases: wrapper, URL, separator. Menu items can open in a popup window or in a lightbox window.
- SSL/TLS switch.
- All Elxis links as SEO ready. There are no non-SEO links!
- We introduce Elxis URIs, for easy, portable linking. Sample elxis URI: content:category/subcategory/article.html
- All extensions located in a single folder. There are no front-end and administrator parts!
- There is NO administrator folder, it was renamed to estia, and you can rename it to what ever you like!
- Unified login for Elxis frontend and backend sections.
- Brand new access control system (ACL) completely built by us that can be easily expanded.
- Powerfull and flexible search engines system (you can search for content, images, video, etc).
- Social login - extended authentication methods (built in methods: elxis, gmail, openid, twitter, ldap)
- jQuery ready
- Multiple supported DOCTYPEs: XHTML 5, HTML 5, XHTML 1.0 strict, XHTML 1.0 transitional.
- Backend modules: you can install and manage modules in the administration section
- Configurable user groups
- Complete developers API, well documented
- Elxis Repository: A secure folder for storing temporary data, logs, backups, sessions, etc
- Performance monitor, extended debug
- Technical manager: errors reports and other tech info are sent to this person
- A signle install/update form for all type of extensions
- You dont have to write the files an extension has in its installation XML file
- Powerfull new XML parameters
The features of the new Elxis are too many, I can not list all of them here.
You are free to ask whatever you like!
-
First of all thank you for the information,
Elxis Nautilus looks very promising, cant wait for an installation :) (dont keep us waiting, elxis team)
Some questions, regarding content : tags, fields (text, list etc) ?
Can we add an article to more than one category ?
Andreas
-
We work on Elxis Nautilus the last 17 months, it is a huge project. In this first release our main goal was to re-write Elxis and develop a modern core that will be ready to support many new features in the future. Not all features will be available from the first release. Little by little we will enrich Elxis with new features. It is now easy to implement anything you like in Elxis, we dont have the old mambo family limitations.
Tags: already supported and built-in. Note that you can setup a category mimic a blog. You dont need special extensions for that.
Fields: The new content plugins system is better, faster and easier to use than Elxis 2009.x bots. You can extend content with plugins.
Articles in multiple categories: No, you can not do that for reasons of simplicity, security and linking, but if you use tags will produce the same affect.
-
thank you, one more question, what about article comments? (comments manager system)
-
can i be a demo user.. my website is already broken..
www.globalpanorama.net
-
thank you, one more question, what about article comments? (comments manager system)
There are 3 different comment source on elxis nautilus. These are:
1. Elxis Plain Text
2. Elxis BBCode Editor and
3. DisQus
;)
-
thank you webgift , i ll keep waiting
-
•Multi-sites: You can have multiple sites with just one Elxis installation. Sub-sites are totally independent, while they share the same file system (with some limits).
Will this feature also available for subdomains? ;D for example having a mother site www.test.com will i be able with the same installation to create demo.test.com, demo1.test.com etc?
-
By default Elxis sub-sites shown as sub-folders of the main site.
http://www.example.com/ (main site)
http://www.example.com/india/ (sub site)
http://www.example.com/spain/ (sub site)
What is a sub-domain?
It is a re-write of a url pointing to a folder site.com/folder/ to this: folder.site.com/
So yes, you can display sub-sites as sub-domains via htaccess with the proper re-rwite rules.
Note for Elxis multi-sites
1. Extensions can be installed/uninstalled only on the mother site. Sub-sites can synchronize only the available extensions of the mother site. To install a new extension on a sub-site you need to ask the admin of the mother site to do so and afterwards synchronize it on the sub-site.
2. Subsites have limited access on media files. Their files (images, etc) should be stored in media/images/siteX/ folder (where X is the id of the sub-site).
3. The adsmin of the mother site have global access on the system.
4. Sub-sites can be created/deleted only from the mother site.
5. Elxis will not create the database of a subsite. You must create it manually or use the same database as of the mother site but with a different tables prefix.
6. During a sub-site creation Elxis can optionally import in its database the data of the mother site (exact site copy).
7. To know which multi-site runs you can check the value of the ELXIS_MULTISITE php contant (integer).
-
what about mobile paltform? already %10 is using web on phones..
i really would like to see nautius on mobiles..
-
Elxis has mobiles support but not full. It depends on the extension. The problem is that mobile phones are too limited. So the best option I think is to develop a mobile specific component to render content in a very special way and limit user to this component only. The Elxis core, the elxis templates, etc, are mobile ready and elxis automatically detects mobile devices.
In the screenshot I attach you can see that all Exit Pages of the system template have a mobile version too.
-
can i call you dataheaven :)
-
2 me is most importing thing is seo..
can i have more details of seo options in nautilus..
and datahell i would like to invite you to Bodrum for a sailing and windsurfing holiday ..u pay just drinks.. ;)
check www.puretourism.co.uk, trwebsite is www.bodrumwindsurf.com
-
Elxis Nautilus has ONLY sef URLs. Even if SEO PRO is disabled the URLs are SEO friendly.
Sample of a SEF URL:
http://www.example.com/category/article.html
The same URL when SEO PRO is disabled:
http://www.example.com/index.php/category/article.html
Except from the general multilingual content Elxis has multilingual meta description and keywords, multilingual site name, short descriptions for the articles, tags and more.
It also supports Open Search (you can search an elxis site without visiting it directly from your browser's search box).
A sample search request is as follows:
http://www.example.com/search/content.html?q=sample
To search for images using the same "sample" keyword:
http://www.example.com/search/images.html?q=sample
Elxis content has a multiple levels tree structure. URLs represent exactly this structure. So search engines and humans easily understand how the content is organized.
For example if this is a link to category "athens":
http://www.example.com/europe/greece/athens/
Then you can browse greece:
http://www.example.com/europe/greece/
or europe:
http://www.example.com/europe/
in a very understandable way.
Each category has its own RSS/ATOM feeds. There is also an RSS "feeds central".
Navigation is much better with the new pathway and the previous/next article links (shown in a much better way).
Also the pathway does not get generated by the menus but by the content itself.
Elxis framework provides the developer a number of ready to use APIs making development tasks very easy. Here are some small examples:
Set the pathway on category "greece":
$pathway = eFactory::getPathway();
$pathway->addNode('Europe', 'content:europe/');
$pathway->addNode('Greece', 'content:europe/greece/');
Set the page title:
eFactory::getDocument()->setTitle('Anything you want');
Set the page meta description:
eFactory::getDocument()->setDescription('Anything you want');
Set the page meta keywords:
eFactory::getDocument()->setKeywords('athens,city,capital,greece,europe');

thanks from you,
when ready nautlius can transfer the contents automatically from elxis to nautilus ? im have 1123 item content in website
http/www.sawaedy.com
-
how will we apply existed elxis websites under the child of nautilus?
or we have to set up again all websites ?
-
There 2 versions ( the existing and the upcoming one ) are totally different. There are some thoughts about solving it in future. Elxis Nautilus will be installed on fresh domains.
-
Elxis Nautilus is NOT compatible to Elxis 2009.x neither to its extensions. The code is totally different.
It is our Elxis, built 100% by the Elxis Team!
-
Regarding multisites for different domains(not-subdomains), will elxis use different databases for each one?
If not how does it effect seo capabilities??(not talking about link exchange)
do we have to make domain mapping from cpanel?
-
Each multi-site has its own database.
Each multi-site has its own media files (images/video/audio).
Each multi-site has its own global configuration.
Each multi-site has its own users, user groups, access permissions, etc.
Each extension on a multi-site has its own settings.
The only thing multi-sites share is the Elxis file system (core and extensions as files).
Even if sub-sites are isolated they share the same file system with the mother site, so the administrator of the mother site should trust the administrators of the sub-sites. Multi-sites designed to provide solutions for sites that need a second, or even third site, for their own use but for a different task (eg a separated forum or a separated e-shop). Large sites and organizations have often such needs.
Multisites requires a simple rule in the htaccess file. You can do this from your hosting control panel or by editing directly Elxis htaccess file.
-
great, tnx..
-
when nautilus ready, can transfer the content( more of 1000) from elxis to nautilus automatically ?
-
No, you can not transfer anything. Read what I wrote before.
Elxis Nautilus is NOT compatible to Elxis 2009.x neither to its extensions. The code is totally different.
-
for nautilus i would like to see a 360 grid css template....

I am really new to Elxis, just stumbled onto it actually and started playing with it merely a few weeks ago. I am excited about Nautilus, especially for the Multi-site and what datahell have said.
I'm a volunteer web developer for a baptist organization that needs such a structure. They have a main site (ie: swcba.org) then separate sub-sites, which manages branches of small ministries (ie: pioneers.swcba.org) and usually have their own templates and own news regarding that ministry. I can see how this system will make this management so much easier.
Most of all, thanks to Elxis team for offering it as Open Source.
It gives the organization an option to support the project when they can but not requiring them to spend huge amount of $$ which they do not have at once.
I am currently not using Elxis as the system for their website. Due to I knew about Elxis only a few weeks ago and these organizations have existed before I volunteered. But, I hope to transfer their sites to Elxis system soon.
Thank You All!!

Welcome to Elxis! :) You can experiment with Elxis 2009.3 but remember what was said, previously:
Elxis Nautilus is NOT compatible to Elxis 2009.x neither to its extensions
If you/they can wait, you may transfer the whole content to Elxis Nautilus, when this will be available & stable.

Hi rentasite,
That's why I am waiting for Nautilus to come out before transitioning to Elxis. I did not want to re-add the content again when Nautilus comes out or wait for a transfer module/function. I have played with Aphrodite for a bit and the system is near flawless. The only (very tiny) problem I had was when adding content I was not able to change text size individually/manually using Tinymce. I have inquired this in another post, hope this is fixed in Nautilus.
Thank you for the warm welcome! Can't wait to try this out. :)
-
As it has already mentioned: the new content plugins system is better, faster and easier to use than Elxis 2009.x bots. You can extend content with plugins.
Here is some of the core plugins:
- Autolinks: plugin will convert given keywords, or article's META keywords, into links pointing to the tags search page.This way visitors can easily find similar articles. The plugin will boost your site' SEO value as it improves cross-site linking.
- Contact Form: plugin generate a simple contact form
- Elxis Link: Add links in the editor area as anchors pointing to #elink: and followed by the Elxis URI you want to link to. All links point to index.php (no popups) and are multi-lingual (except if mentioned differently). The generic Elxis URI syntax is: language:component:page where language can be ommited for auto-language linking.
- Google Maps: (using API ver 3) plugin allows you to display Google maps inside Elxis article. You can display any location in the world and info for each location. The map appearance is fully customizable (marker style, map size, map type can be normal, satellite and hybrid, zoom, controls, map scale etc).
- HTML5 Video: An HTML5 video can consist of several video files of different extensions and subtitles in different languages. Poster images are also supported.
- Image Gallery: plugin will help you to easily display an amount of uploaded images on your website using Slideshow technology.
- Youtube Video: plugin allows you to place a Youtube Video inside article using the Video ID from Youtube
- The editor for upcoming version will be CKEditor (Editor's Demo (http://ckeditor.com/demo)) instead of TinyMCE.
-
Elxis Performance Monitor (EPM) is a method to benchmark Elxis and check the performance of each individual block executed during the page generation process. Such blocks are the current component, the loaded modules, plugins, and other types of extensions. Elxis Performance Monitor also gives you benchmark results for the whole page as well as the system loader. Elxis Performance Monitor is useful to check your site's overall speed and spot slow blocks in your site. You can afterwards modify the slow extensions in order to decrease its execution time.
-
what about forms? is there going to be a way to create forms?
-
There is the Contact form plugin that it helps you to generate forms with a easy way. I attach you the plugin's parameters page. As you can see there is a possibility to create custom text fields too. In future we will create several plugins regarding forms.
-
thank you for the answer :)
-
Isnt it possible to use a wordpress template.. then we can use artisteer and lots of people will be using elxis..
I respect developers ..
pls. check websites with made by elxis.. most of them they all same or changed a little ..sorry(mines is also) ...
i really would like to use artisteer. then i would have more time on selecting colors, writing content and photography..
For u guys it shouldnt be a much work.. but will make us save lots of time..
thanks
-
All forms in Elxis are created with a PHP class we have write that allows you to build any type of form fast and easy.
To initiate/call the form builder class:
elxisLoader::loadFile('includes/libraries/elxis/form.class.php');
$formOptions = array('name' => 'elxisform', 'action' => 'something.php', '...');
$form = new elxisForm($formOptions);
Without the php api you can create contact forms by using the contact plugin. This plugin allows you to create rich and configurable contact forms being displayed inside articles.
-
We present you the results of a benchmark comparison test between the latest Joomla 2.5.4 Emper (stable) and the upcoming Elxis 4.0 Nautilus (pre-alpha). The tests performed with the Apache's ab tool on a local development computer running Windows. Both CMSs were with their default copntent and settings, although Elxis had about 2900 articles more than joomla. Various caching options were tested. The result of all tests is that Elxis is, at least, 4 times faster than Joomla! Read the complete article (https://www.elxis.org/eblog/evolution/elxis40-vs-joomla254.html).
-
See an other benchmark comparison test (http://sven.webiny.com/benchmark-webiny-vs-wordpress-vs-drupal-vs-joomla-vs-tomatocms/) performed by webiny (not open source). Compare Elxis with the results shown there. Although the tests are not on the same machine (which is a very important factor) you can see that Elxis performs the same, or a little better, than drupal too (and much better than wordpress and Tomato cms). Especially for the memory usage Elxis comes first as it consumes just 1,5mb of memory.
-
what about templates? you have mentioned that there is a new template system, compatible with templates from other cms. Can you give us more details?
-
I recently removed this system and I don't think I will put it back on again.
There are many reasons for this decision but the main reason is that templates become more complex as the time passes and the conversion results would not be good for many of them. Also this system was addressed to experienced users. So I prefer not to have something like this than generating problems to the sites and after people call us for help.
The new Elxis templates are multifunctional and have many parameters that control the layout and style. You can, for example, convert a 2 columns template into 3 columns with just one click. You can change colours and logo without touching the code. So you can personalize a template a lot which makes the need of many templates less. Also we believe that Elxis is a superior CMS, better than other competitive CMSs. So we hope companies and professionals will use Elxis Nautilus as a business tool and develop extensions for it.
-
There is the Contact form plugin that it helps you to generate forms with a easy way. I attach you the plugin's parameters page. As you can see there is a possibility to create custom text fields too. In future we will create several plugins regarding forms.
Just some suggestions for future forms.
1. Ability to send form to different email based on dropdown selection or certain custom fields?
Example: a selection box for "reason" to contact.. one is support and one is website feedback. Maybe support can be sent to one email and for feedback to be send to different email?
2. Custom field parent <-> child option.
Example: If the form has a field (checkbox) "Do you have children?" If checked... there will show an input field "Name" or "How many?".
If multiple levels.. after put in answer "2" for "How many?" (children) ... maybe two input fields shows display "Name #1" ... "Name #2" ..
Thanks for the time and consideration. ;D

for seo url rewrite..
what i see on turkish good seo based websites...
they change the url like this. main-name/category/section.html..
so u give prioty to msin name... specially in e-commerce websites..
-
I think this is a bad url...

Here is a link of Elxis 4.0 Nautilus front-page with the template Delta.
The sample content and the template are still in progress.
The screenshot is in original scale but with low resolution.
https://www.elxis.org/images/ext/elxis4_delta.jpg (https://www.elxis.org/images/ext/elxis4_delta.jpg)
-
Can't wait anymore! ;) :-*
-
Here is an other screen shot with the template Aiolos (http://simplest-image-hosting.net/jpg-0-aiolos). Several parameters have been already included but it's still in progress. Available background's color : White, Grey, Light Green, Blue and Ochre! Sample content are for demonstration purpose.
-
In 5-6 days most, the alpha version will be ready! Webgift the link is dead!
-
nice, so we are getting close to the beta, good good news :)
-
Ops! Sorry... here is an other link (http://i47.tinypic.com/9r0o42.jpg) for Aiolos Template.
-
I saw it live yesterday, it is very good. I think you need only to change the default template settings in some cases and enable multisites in the logo parameter using the "multisite" keyword (see Delta template XML as a sample). We will see it in details the following days after I publish the default content. I have also created a document listing the positions the modules are being displayed in the default content.
-
Great! Thank you Datahell for all ;)! I will improve it. It needs some appearance's improvements. Default content will help me to finalize the general layout.
-
Something I have noticed a long time but I always forgot to mention: the "go to top" button is not good, the arrows are not well visible. On the other hand the hover button is very good. We must also see the "categories" and the "comments" modules, they need improvements.
-
I have full trust on you! So we will test and change all of these "parts" after discussion.
-
Here are 2 more screen shots from Aiolos template.
1. Blue transparent background - Frontend (external Image Url (http://i49.tinypic.com/ftdgn.jpg))
2. Aiolos Parameters - Back end (external Image Url (http://i48.tinypic.com/mr6bm8.jpg))

Is it written from scratch by Elxis developers, or based on Joomla like previous versions?

I propose a BAN ;D
-
Joomla and other CMSs', belliash like Elxis (2009.x -) was built using Mambo technology. Unfortunately from Joomla and the other CMSs' ... Elxis 4.0 code name : Nautilus has been developed from scratch. ;)
-
Unfortunately for Joomla and other CMSs' ... Elxis 4.0 code name : Nautilus has been developed from scratch
... and they have now the deal to copy (and LEARN), if I'm allowed to add this ;D
-
Personally Luca I don't care what they will do. Elxis has a new license of use. We are in position to automatically understand if they will copy anything from Elxis. They will have already included some features ;) Each community much have a unique existence. This is the deal!
-
Personally, even if old Elxis releases had their origins from Mambo, I've never been satisfied by NONE of other CMSs out there. And I tested out HUNDREDS! So, Developers behind Elxis are great and they exactly know what they are doing and why.
Period.

-
Each person choose a CMS through a certain number of criterias. ;) I "stuck" with Elxis because of its organization at all levels.
-
I will never say that Elxis is the best* CMS in the world, or suitable for all cases and users.
It is better than other systems in some areas, maybe worst than others in some other areas, or it may misses some features someone may need.
The fact is, and this is what I mostly care about, that Elxis has a unique spirit.
Elxis 4.0 is the result of 2 years hard work. I must confess that I still can't believe we managed to complete such a huge project just a few people.
We are proud for Elxis 4.0, and we hope people will love it.

Υou have το feel the ELXIS (attraction) in order to use ELXIS cms :)
-
Elxis has a unique spirit
thumbs up!
-
Hi to everybody!
I need to know the probable release date for the 4th version... any idea?
thank you.
-
We already released a private 4.0 alpha version to a limited number of people. Currently we built the 4.0 beta version which will be available in about a month. This version will be public but not marked as "stable". After some time (a month or so) and maybe bugs fixes and possible small improvements we will release the first stable version on september 2012.
-
Thank you very much for your reply. Is there a live (instable / unofficial) demo where I can see something?
-
No, the alpha version is private, sorry.

Wow, I know I am late reading the forums. (Been so busy)
Those are very humbling words, and it is this attitude that make Elxis a great project and community so unique.
Thanks for your insight datahell!

elsix beta 4 is here, congratulations.
Tried local installation , but after the final step , error "Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match number of tokens' in C:\wamp\www\includes\libraries\elxis\database\statement.class.php on line 41"
-
Elxis Nautilus is here :D I wish the best.
I uploaded the files at my server but i got error 500. You can take a look here http://glwsses.gr/ .. any ideas?
-
is there a .htaccess in your folder?
-
I have removed the old files and add the new versions. There is no .htaccess to the zip but i tried to rename the htaccess.txt to .htaccess and it is still not working
-
I'm having the same issue, 500 Error. I tried changing settings and all, but still does not work
-
I guess you get an error because of a wrong redirection.
I will test the installer once more online. Please wait for my reply.
-
Problem found, a small mistype in installer's http headers.
Please wait 5 minutes to fix the release. I will reply soon.
-
The problem was fixed. It was due to a small mistype in http headers.
elxis.org now serves the fixed release.
For those already upload it in their site download the file I attach and replace the existing one:
includes/install/install.php
Sorry for the inconvenience.
-
Great. Thanks Datahell ;D
-
still the same error at local installation
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match number of tokens' in C:\wamp\www\includes\libraries\elxis\database\statement.class.php on line 41

so far so good...also works the Friendly URLs (after rename the htaccess.txt to .htaccess)
-
I install it, but the urls doesn't work. URL with PM.
-
The documentation is written at this time and it is not yet ready to be published.
I guess we will have it ready in a week or so.
I know you will have many-many things you will not understand in the new Elxis.
Under Elxis 4.0 lays a powerful core which needs advanced skills to be fully understandable. But this doesn't matter simple web masters. We will also publish documentation for developers, bringing Elxis features into light. You can explore it and test it by your self, ask here, and wait for the documentation.
To download extensions visit the EDC browser from within Elxis administration (Extensions -> Browse EDC). The whole Elxis world is in your adminstration's section!
There are already several extensions we have written for Elxis 4.x. Try them!
-
I install it, but the urls doesn't work. URL with PM.
In order for SEO PRO to work you must rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess
If you have place it inside a folder the htaccess needs to be changed properly.
-

i have a problem in administrator, i can't save anything when i try to save some changes it gives me
Page not found!
The page you requested was not found!

The page you requested was not found!
inner.php/logout.html
Reference code: E404-CCPA-0008
also when i have open two windows one for the frontpage and one for the administrator, it happens something strange, i cant logout from the administrator but i can logout from the frontend

From admin area, url's doesn't only some JS (Latest, Popular, Statistics and etc)

babis1 inner.php pages does not work for you. Something with the htaccess file maybe.
If you have renamed the admin folder you must update the htaccess file.
To make sure inner.php requests work visit an admin page via inner.php.
For example instead of visiting:
http://www.example.com/estia/user/
try:
http://www.example.com/estia/inner.php/user/
I guess you will get an error 404 (or, even worst a blank page). Check the htaccess in this case.
Note: Elxis stores all errors, warnings and notices in the repository/logs/ folder.
Read error.log, warning.log and notice.log to see what's wrong in your site.
The Elxis logs are VERY helpful to understand what happens.
-
no i haven't rename nothing, the only thing that happens is when i rename the htaccess.txt to .htaccess the server hide the file from the ftp but i dont thing this is a problem, also i have another one problem in admin, i dont know if all those problems connected with inner.php file, i havent results for modules, menus, components, when i click to extensions->modules it gives me no results found
-
a strange log ???
[2012-09-23 19:05:33] ERROR 404 (Page not found). Reference code: E404-CCPA-0008
URL: inner.php/logout.html (is the path correct?)

Same here . Any Solution ?
also i couldn't set it up locally (xampp) or to subfolder .

Dear friends!
Elxis 4.0 has been released as beta so we will have several bugs for fixing. So every bug will be fixed till the stable release. At this time i can only tell you:
1. "Read carefully the comment lines at htaccess.txt file (which it must be renamed as .htaccess in cases like: 1. enable friendly URLs and 2. Sub domains)".
2. Set properly the home page url using Elxis URI. Default: content:/

Thank you for the great Nautilus, really a good job compliments.
For those errors like:
ERROR 404 (Page not found). Reference code: E404-CCPA-0008
Maybe there is something related to the way the following lines are redirecting:
# If you have renamed the administration folder change "estia" to the name you have set.
RewriteRule ^estia/inner.php(.*) estia/inner.php [L]
RewriteRule ^estia/(.*) estia/index.php [L]
Commenting the first of them, I am able to save configurations from admin panel:
# If you have renamed the administration folder change "estia" to the name you have set.
#RewriteRule ^estia/inner.php(.*) estia/inner.php [L]
RewriteRule ^estia/(.*) estia/index.php [L]
and the EDC is working, too ;)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now its everything perfect, i try that before but i comment both lines so for default installations with elxis in root we have to comment the first line
#RewriteRule ^estia/inner.php(.*) estia/inner.php [L]
RewriteRule ^estia/(.*) estia/index.php [L][/code]
also now i am able to see the results for components, modules, etc...........

2. Set properly the home page url using Elxis URI. Default: content:/
I tried. My localhost file is at localhost/cms/elxis
Downloaded the files from elxis.org extracted to the above location, all original and did not modify any files.
with everything unchanged, when I go to the URL it redirects me to localhost/
I changed the htaccess.txt to .htaccess and changed to this
RewriteBase /cms/elxis/
When I go to localhost/cms/elxis I am still redirected to localhost/.
I am still not able to install elxis 4 yet.
Since it's not working, I'm sure I did something wrong, but do not know what.
-----UPDATE----
I setup a vhost on my local machine, elxis.box.com
It seems successfully installed, I was able to create a username..etc. but shows blank page.
When installing I chose "no" for friendly URLS.
Check logs
[2012-09-24 02:22:08] ERROR in file D:\Server\www\projects\cms\elxis\modules\mod_content\mod_content.php line 24

Try this, at localhost , install elxis at the root folder not at cms/elxis, it is suggested by the elxis team.
-
Under IIS is impossibile to install it.
This is the screenshot.

if i press over continue, it gives me this link

Elxis installer tries to redirect you on the elxis web root folder in order to start the installation process.
If you have Elxis inside a folder and the parent folder has an other site you might confuse Elxis. You must know what you are doing in this case.
I suggest you to install Elxis in localhost or create virtual hosts.
The Elxis Team recomendations in to create vhosts like that site1.loc, site2.loc, etc...
Details (for apache) you will find here:
https://www.elxis.org/guides/developers-guides/local-apache-and-virtual-hosts.html (https://www.elxis.org/guides/developers-guides/local-apache-and-virtual-hosts.html)

ok this is solved
but now i have problem with links
seems not put in tle link "index.php" when i press on continue
this is the link appear on the navigation bar
http://localhost/?step=2&lang=en
windows XP
php 5.3
IIS
no unix or apache server
-
I sent you a Private message. If everything goes as i described to you, Speck i will share the solution here! ;)
-
GUYs, few hours are not enough in order to fully evaluate Nautilus 4 but are for sure pretty enough to say YOU'VE DONE A STUNNING WORK! COMPLIMENTS! :) Thank you.

@speck Is index.php a default index on IIS?
Normally it is index.html,index.html,default.html and something like that. The index.php might be missing. If this is the case add index.php in the default indexes and restart IIS.
@Luca: Thanks!

When i click at any link at the website, althought the url changes, the visible website is the same. This happend also at the administration area, even if i click at a link, i always see the first page i see when i login
Im still not able to fix this issue. I install the elxis at root, i am sure the .htaccess is there, but still cant chance page. See it live here www.daskalemata.com

@michalis1984: See repository/logs/error.log for the last error message and paste it here.

I tried again. I created a new vhost called elxis.loc
I was able to go through installation and it was successful, however going to elxis.loc, I get a blank page.
Do you think it's a php5.4 issue?

If anyone has problems with Elxis 4.0 he can send me a personal message with FTP access details for his online site to see what's happening and fix it.
Elxis 4.x is tested and works fine but some features rely on server environment and so there are might issues that we haven't seen before.
That's why this release has been marked as beta.
Providing us access to your installation with the issue will help us solve these issues, not only for you but for the other people too.

I debug a site having such problems and found the reason.
It is due to a php bug on getting $_SERVER values with filter_input.
Related bug entries in php.net:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49184
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39917
I applied a bypass for this problem in Elxis and I will release revision 1293.
To fix the problem in your installation.
(1) If links do not work:
Open file: includes/libraries/elxis/uri.class.php
Go to line 102
Change this:
$uri = ltrim(filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'REQUEST_URI', FILTER_SANITIZE_URL), '/');
with this:
$uri = ltrim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/');
Don't do this change if it works for you because the first method is much safer.
(2) If inner.php does not work
Open .htaccess and comment the first instances of the following lines:
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
Leave only these:
RewriteRule ^estia/inner.php(.*) estia/inner.php [L]
RewriteRule ^estia/(.*) estia/index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

Thank You!

Here is a small tip on how we can find out if our inner.php file is working properly! Check the following urls ...
Administration area:
http://www.example.com/estia/inner.php/user/
Front-end area:
http://www.example.com/inner.php/user/
In case that you see a blank or 404 error page then your inner.php don't work! Check the instructions as Datahell mentioned above : https://forum.elxis.org/index.php?topic=7032.msg46547#msg46547

Possible trouble for some users:
Administration -> Settings -> Security:
SSL switch, active ONLY when they have install SSL certificate.
In my opinion, must be an extra check box to validate if they have SSL or NOT, because if you set yes with forntend + Administration and you have install SSL you will kicked out.
-
Off course, we enable options when we have support for them.
The same is valid for gzip, APC, and more.
I kindly ask you to open new posts under the Nautilus 4.0 category for each subject.
Please do not continue posting in this thread.

if i start building a site with the beta version, will i be able to upgrade to the stable version?
