Thread: htaccess etc.

htaccess etc.

Hi

Having a problem with htaccess. I have followed the same procedure i did for CP to put WP as a sub directory and Clipper as the main directory.

My htaccess files is this:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress


I have also changed the 'Settings' 'General' site address url so that it doesn't have /wordpress on the end.

Am i missing something else somewhere? I know its been a while since i set my CP theme up.

Right then to add to this......

Its only the home page that doesn't work...... All the other pages work fine!!!! Have checked the url for the home page and that is fine.... Any body know or could shed any light on this?

Hi mazza

Not really a Clipper thing...
Are you using a subdomain? Or just a sub folder? Same for both sites? What's in the other htaccess file? In the settings, what are the WordPress and Site URLs?

Hi dubya,

lol, makes me wonder sometimes!!!

All i am trying to achieve is a root install as per this link http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_Wo..._Own_Directory

I have done this a few times before and have never had any problems. I have followed it to the letter again and again. Sometimes i have the pages working and sometimes i don't!! But never have the home page running unless i stick the 'wordpress' back on the end of the general settings site url.

I know i must be doing something wrong but don't know where????!!!

FYI: I have clipper in a sub directory using a sudomain. I changed the Site URL to http://mydomain.com/foldername/ and changed one line in the htaccess:
and it seems to be working fine. I think that was what you wanted to know?

Sorry, You are doing something totally different than I thought.

This really is doing my little brain cell in !!!!

Thanks dubya i've just tried what you have suggested and to no avail.

Now i am just getting http:500 error on all pages!!!

In the setting site url:

WordPress Address (URL) http://(mydomain)/wordpress

Site Address (URL) http://(mydomainname)

If i try running the site this way it throws the 500 error up and if you stick /wordpress back on the site url it works fine!!!

There has to be something simple to this??? Surely !!!!!

I would take a 5 minute break, then come back and start the process over again following the instructions at the link you provided. I bet you missed or messed one of the file edits.

Exactly my thoughts and that is exactly what i'm going to do. One little brain cell ......... FRIED!!!! lol.

No problem. Let me know how it goes... Meanwhile, I have moved the thread to a more appropriate forum.

Oops sorry didn't realise i had put it in the wrong forum.

Just got back to this problem and its still not working!!!!

Really don't get this. Would it be wise to re install the theme?
