Question

I’ve got this script installed on two sites. In my localhost site, it operates fine. However, on my 2nd test site, the script below is returning a 404 error (in Chrome’s developer console) on the color.php file.

Although, I can then click on color.php in the console and it loads fine and echo’s out the correct value I’m expecting. I’m at a loss for what’s causing the 404, but its preventing the script from getting to the alert() in the doColor() function. Any ideas?

$('#my_theme').change
(
    function() 
    {
    $("#largePreview").hide();
    var myImage = $('#my_theme :selected').text();
    $('.selectedImage img').attr('src','<?php echo get_bloginfo('template_directory') ?>/styles/'+myImage+'/screenshot.jpg');
    $('.selectedImage img').attr('title',myImage);
    $.get('<?php echo get_bloginfo('template_directory') ?>/color.php', {theme: myImage, spot: '1'}, function(data){doColor('#my_theme_header_color', data);});
    $.get('<?php echo get_bloginfo('template_directory') ?>/color.php', {theme: myImage, spot: '2'}, function(data){doColor('#my_theme_sidebar_color', data);});
    $.get('<?php echo get_bloginfo('template_directory') ?>/color.php', {theme: myImage, spot: '3'}, function(data){doColor('#my_theme_spot_color_alt', data);});
    $.get('<?php echo get_bloginfo('template_directory') ?>/color.php', {theme: myImage, spot: '4'}, function(data){doColor('#my_theme_spot_color_alt2', data);});
    }
);

function doColor(el, color)
    {
    alert('in function docolor');
    $(el).val(color).trigger('keyup');
    $(el).attr('value', color);
    $(el).val(color);
}

Contents of color.php is below…

<?php
require_once('../../../wp-blog-header.php');

$myTheme = $_REQUEST['theme'];
$spot = $_REQUEST['spot'];
$myThemeColor = $myTheme."_color".$spot;
$myColor = get_option($myThemeColor);
$file = "styles/".$myTheme."/template.ini";
if ($myColor == "") 
{
    if (file_exists($file) && is_readable($file))
    {
    $ini_array = parse_ini_file($file);
     if($spot == 1){$myColor = $ini_array['color1'];}
     if($spot == 2){$myColor = $ini_array['color2'];}
     if($spot == 3){$myColor = $ini_array['color3'];}
     if($spot == 4){$myColor = $ini_array['color4'];}
    }
    else
    {
     if($spot == 1){$myColor = get_option('cb2_theme_header_color');}
     if($spot == 2){$myColor = get_option('cb2_theme_sidebar_color');}
     if($spot == 3){$myColor = get_option('cb2_theme_spot_color_alt');}
     if($spot == 4){$myColor = get_option('cb2_theme_spot_color_alt2');}
    }
}
echo $myColor;
?>

Sounds like your web server doesn’t know about the file on the second test server.

Could be a permissions setting.

What platform and web server are you using?
