Serendipity Forums

Hi!

If you do a search+replace in the SQL dump of your old dir to the new dir, this can replace the images properly in your blog posts.

thanks gravin, i'll look into it tonight

i've followed the instruction in the url to move to subdir but it was total failure

kept redirecting to

root.com/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/

and it was giving page not found.

any idea? is that http://s9y.org/198.html#A2 working with the new version?

thanks

Hi!

What did you exactly search and replace? Of course you cannot replace "/" to "/blog", that will lead to recursion. Instead you would need to replaced

"/
'/
http://domain/

with

"/blog
'/blog
http://domain/blog/

for example. Always make sure your replacement only occurs singularly.

ok, i'll try it now..

this is my defaults now.
serendipityPath serendipityHTTPPath baseURL

i'm sorry, i don't know what is happening. i've tried almost everything.
do you mind looking at the paths i gave in the previous reply and tell me the right replacements for it?

thanks

Hi!

Replacing "/" with "/blog" is indeed a bit harder. This is why I wrote that you need to replace

"/

with

"/blog/

because this will replace things like

<a href="/blabla">

to

<a href="/blog/blabla">

and also

<img src="/uploads/bla"

with

<img src="/blog/uploads/bla"

The same applies to '/ if you used <img src='/ somewhere.

Hey, I got another idea!

You could leave Serendipity in the root folder (you did back everything up, right? Good) and tell Apache not to rewrite in a particular directory by adding a line like this to your .htaccess: Then the main .htaccess wouldn't do any rewriting. But the one in the subdirectory should still do all its work.

@judebert Tried it and didn't work // i really hope if i can keep s9y on my root.

@garvinhicking tried it but the browser doesn't load s9y in "/blog/

only when i write in the address bar "/blog/index.php"

also once moved the templates didn't work at all

Hi!

After moving, did you edit your .htaccess file and replace / with /blog/? It should happen once in the DirectoryIndex direcitve...

thanks , it's working now,
i think the .htaccess step should be mentioned in the faqs http://s9y.org/198.html

i never thought to look in the file for something to change

thanks again buddy

There is one other alternative. You can use mod_alias to create an alias for your app directory. You will need access to your server's httpd.conf file though.

Something like this:

you install s9y in /home/www/s9y
You install other app in /home/www/otherapp

The you create an alias in the vhost config for s9y so that http://examples9yblog.com/app loads whatever is in /home/www/otherapp

alias /app /home/www/otherapp

I have used this successfully without problems.
