Yet another mod rewrite problem

Post by ChrisJC »

I have enabled mod_rewrite in the admin control panel.
Renamed the _.htaccess to .htaccess
Tried numerous RewriteBase paths but cannot get it to work.
I'm sure the path is the error, but I can't seem to find it. I'm using phpMyFAQ on a subdomain.
The error I'm getting is 400 Bad Request on all attempts:
RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /content/Hosting/e/x/domain.co.uk/subdomains/support/web/
RewriteBase /subdomains/support/web/

How can I find the corrent path to use?
It shouldn't make any difference, but the hosting server is Zeus, so I've had to use a rewrite.script to pass the rewrite to the .htaccess file, but I believe this is working (I've succeded on our main site with a php shopping cart)

Many thanks,
Chris

Hi,

the .htaccess file is for Apache webservers, not Zeus. It seems your rewrite script screws the rewrite rules for Zeus. As I don't know the Zeus webserver, it'S hard to help...

Hi, for the benefit of other who may experience, I have translated the mod_rewrite rules for use on Zeus servers. This should be saved in a file rewrite.script and doesn't need the .htaccess

I'm still having problems adding QSA meaning things like a highlight option in the url isn't working, it gives a 404 error, if I get it working I'll update. I've tested as much as I can, but there may still be holes.

Code: Select all

#Zeus webserver version of basic Wordpress mod_rewrite rules           

map path into SCRATCH:path from %{URL}           

look for file at %{SCRATCH:path}           

if exists then goto END           

look for dir at %{SCRATCH:path}           

if exists then goto END

Hi,

That's fine with me. The only problem is when going to an article from a search - the added query is giving the 404, for example on our site:
http://support.expressware.co.uk/?searc ... tegory=%25
the links to the actual article return 404 errors.

Is it possible to switch off the highlighting function?
Thanks,
Chris

What is the problem with the highlighting function? Does it only appear when something is highlighted?

Anyways thanks for the solution and coding. As soon as my portal is online again, I will see if I can implement it.
