Serendipity Forums

I have just set Serendipity up on my webspace at www.andthenhesaid.com , in the root, so that that address resolves to the blog.

To do that, I shifted my existing site to a new subdirectory called "content".

I've now fallen foul of exactly the problem in the FAQ point titled: "When I use mod_rewrite URL rewriting, I cannot access any files in subdirectories of my Serendipity install! If I go to any of my own URLs it keeps redirecting me to my blog plage!"

But, I can't use the fix in that FAQ on the 'content' directory because the site is powered by a CMS (Etomite) that requires the .htaccess file to say 'RewriteEngine On' for its own URL rewriting system.

Is there any way round this problem?

Thanks in advance...

Hi!

If that htaccess relies on rewriteengine, the CMS needs to fix it at its place by specifying hte RewriteBase to its directory.

The only other way I see is to put s9y within a subdirectory of your CMS, or create two independent dirs?
