RewriteEngine Off - Fix Not working

[phenolite]

Hello,

Just installed Serendipity, so bear with me.

My site setup:

/ - serendipity
/mms - phonecam image gallery
/ftp - random phpftp thinger

So, whenever I go to http://site.com/mms - i go to my blog site - not what I want. If i go to http://site.com/mms/index.php - all is well.

I tried the .htaccess RewriteEngine Off and put the file in my /mms directory. It still does not work.

I tried all three settings for URL Rewriting...
Disable
errorhandling
mod_rewrite

I searched on this forum but I caved and finally posted this - any help would be fantastic.

ps: this blog is pretty sweet - my hats off the the dev team

Try to put this .htaccess file in your mms directory:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine Off
DirectoryIndex index.php

It seems your Apache does not listen to a index.php default index?

To be honest Garvin, i'm not sure.

If I go to domain.com/ - my host (Dreamhost) picks up the index.php for serendipity...

I have little knowledge of the whole apache/htaccess stuff. I'll try this method tonite after work. thanks so much!
