Bug or feature? Can't url-rewrite to serendiptity subdir

[aerik]

I'm trying to keep serendipity installed in a subdirectory, but use it as a my home page (keep my root directory clean). I set up htacess like this:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/index.php?url=/blog/$1 [L,QSA]

and I also tried a rewrite rule of

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/$1 [L,QSA]

and after some testing I can see that it is appending the subdirs to the url, but they are not picked up by serendipity. It looks like this is because it is using REQUEST_URI instead of picking up the querystring...? I was hoping someone could shed some light on this, and a possible solution, before I spend my Sunday deconstructing and hacking it (I'd rather leave the serendiptiy code vanilla, for ease of upgrades).

Thanks!

This kind of setup is not suggested, you'll run into many problems. You should either redirect to your /blog/ subdirectory with a simple HTTP redirectio, or install serendipity into your root directory.

Leaving out the /blog/ subdirectory and operating s9y on the root is not recommended, as you can see by it not working properly.
