Combining 2 rewrite rules possible?

[bwakkie]

Hi,

I have the following setup:

On my virtual host I did setup the following rewrite rule:

Code: Select all

        # Rewrite <subdomain>.mydomain.com/<path> to mydomain.com/<subdomain>/<path>
        #
        # Skip rewrite if no hostname or if subdomain is www
        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
        # Extract (required) subdomain (%1), and first path element (%3), discard port number if present (%2)
        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}<>%{REQUEST_URI} ^([^.]+)\.mydomain\.com(:80)?<>/([^/]*) [NC]
        # Rewrite only when subdomain not equal to first path element (prevents mod_rewrite recursion)
        RewriteCond %1<>%3 !^(.*)<>\1$ [NC]
        # Rewrite to /subdomain/path
        RewriteRule ^(.*) /%1/$1 [L]

..which results that I can access the blog the following way:
http://myblog.mydomain.com/ instead of http://www.mydomain.com/myblog.

This is very convenient for me as I just can create a new folder and I can access it directly as a subdomain.

then the s9y .htaccess should do something with the url but there something goes wrong.

If I take css as example: in the source code of the index.php page that I see the css is requested is the correct url I would expect...

http://myblog.mydomain.com/serendipity.css

... this url is re-written by my own rules first ...

http://mydomain.com/myblog/serendipity.css

...and s9y should translate this on its turn into...

http://mydomain.com/myblog/index.php?ur ... dipity.css

Now my question is what did I not see and you do (hopefully)?

database settings:

Code: Select all

356182;"dbNames";"false";"0"
356183;"serendipityPath";"/var/www/www.mydomain.com/myblog/";"0"
356184;"uploadPath";"uploads/";"0"
356185;"serendipityHTTPPath";"/";"0" /* tried with /myblog/ too*/
356186;"templatePath";"templates/";"0"
356187;"uploadHTTPPath";"uploads/";"0"
356188;"baseURL";"http://myblog.mydomain.com/";"0"
356189;"autodetect_baseURL";"false";"0" /* tried true too*/
356190;"indexFile";"index.php";"0"

Hi!

Serendipity does not support running on different paths ("/" vs. "blog/"), so you'll always have problems with relative links using your syntax.

Your URL rewriting AFAIK does not reset the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable, which is the variable that s9y needs to enable permalink detection.

Of course this must be possible.... with mod_rewrite you can fool anybody so definitely s9y

So the problem where apache configuration related. I needed to add

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

to the .htaccess file


cheers, soon my very first blog! (although i am for years professional webmaster i never found the time to investigate in things like this...)
