Possible HTACCESS problems

[GoneShootin2]

Hi

This link works:
http://localhost:8081/blackwater/index. ... -Club.html

This link doesn't:
http://localhost:8081/blackwater/archiv ... -Club.html

My HTACCESS:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On

HELP!

Hi!

What doesn't work? You did install mod_rewrite for Apache?

Hmmm, now that you mention it, it would seem that I don't. Its not appearing on my phpinfo file, yet I have it enabled in httpconf:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

How do I install the mod?

[garvinhicking]

Hi!

You might need to compile it for apache by using configure with the appropriate module string (--enable=rewrite or sth like it).

You might want to search an apache forum for more help on this issue, as it's unrelated to serendipity...

Good luck,
Garvin

Twas my httpconf was causing me my grief

Code: Select all

<Directory "C:/Server/Apache2/htdocs">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Options All
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Works now with above.

I'm back again.

I've embedded my serendipity installation into an exsting html page. Works fine, until I try to click on the extended body, and it heads off to /archives.

This wraps perfectly:

Code: Select all

http://localhost:8081/blackwater/index.php?/cms/archives/1-About-Blackwater-Triathlon-Club.html

This doesn't:

Code: Select all

http://localhost:8081/blackwater/cms/archives/1-About-Blackwater-Triathlon-Club.html

So it's probably my conf file again, or the wrapper, which is:

Code: Select all

  $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = '/cms' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
   ob_start(); 
   chdir("C:\Server\Apache2\htdocs\blackwater\cms"); 
   require("index.php"); 
   chdir("../"); 
   $serendipity_content = ob_get_contents(); 
   ob_end_clean(); 
   echo $serendipity_content 

Any ideas?

[garvinhicking]

Hi!

If the "cms" path is executed, I suppose the wrapper gets executed again,and thus appends "cms/" to the request-uri again. So you'll need to first check whether "cms/" is already contained in that file, and only append it, if it isn't...

The problem though is that the wrapper will never get called if I follow the natural /cms/archives link from my embedded page, as the wrapper is only called in my index page, not subsequent pages.

So how am I going to fool serendipity into calling my ../index.php to load each link cleanly I wonder, and not /cms/archives......


---- EDIT -----

I got it working by using "/blackwater/index.php?cms/" as my Relative Path. Works just fine now.


BUT

I suddenly realise that I'm not comfortable with someone browsing to say cms/index.php and running the content from there. I need to force the user to jump back to ../index.php.

So my option at this stage might be to move serendipity back into the root, and attempt the wrapping logic within the same folder perhaps? I know if I cracked this it would be plain sailing from here on out...

---- EDIT -----

And thats what I did. I had to add index.php? to the start of all my perma links, but it seems to work. I called my serendipity index file "contents.php". If anyone has a more graceful approach then let me know, for example how to prevent contents.php from being directly access in future, and ensuring that my index.php [which contains my templating] is actually called.
