Pagealiases

[shelluk]

Hi Guys,

I've tried following the instructions found here: http://www.knowledgeroot.org/pagealias.html

I have copy and pasted into .htaccess (the Knowledgeroot folder) the following:

Code: [Select]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^[^/]*\.html$ index.php
Mod_rewrite is enabled in Apache (confirmed by looking at the out put of phpinfo())

Yet it is not working

All my links on the left have the address with the pagealias name in it but when you click on them, I just get "The requested URL /home/shell/public_html/kb/index.php was not found on this server."

I can confirm /home/shell/public_html/kb/index.php exists - if I type nano and that path it opens the index.php file for Knowledgeroot!

Thanks for you help

Hi,

What shows error.log?
What apache version?
Do you have enabled .htacces files in your apache configuration?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Error.log:

Code: [Select]

[Wed Dec 02 15:08:48 2009] [error] [client 195.171.169.42] File does not exist:
/var/www/home, referer: http://www.mydomain.co.uk/~shell/kb/

- Where's it getting /var/www/home from? It's /home/shell/public_html/kb/ as above! :s

Apache version:

Code: [Select]

Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.1 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g
Enable .htaccess
In what way?
I've found the following in my apache2.conf

Code: [Select]

AccessFileName .htaccess

hi,

could you give me the exact url in the html source what makes the problem?

/var/www is the default documentroot location.

Try a AllowOverride All in your /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf

Done. Same.

Sorry, not sure what you mean exactly.

Hi,

i mean the link that knowledgeroot generated with the static url.
So you should have a link in your tree like that http://www.domain.com/youralias.html or not?

Alternativ you could add something like this to your apache configuration:

<Directory "/path/to/knowledgeroot">
        Options -Indexes +FollowSymlinks +Includes
        DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteRule ^[^/]*\.html$ index.php
</Directory>

Hi,

Finally got around to looking at this again.

Tried what you said, same still though. "File does not exist: /var/www/home" in my apache error log. No idea why it's looking there?! It's in /home/shell/public_html/kb/ and that's the path I put in your code above

Thanks

GOT IT!

Needed to add this to the .htaccess file in the Knowledgebase directory:

Code: [Select]

RewriteBase /~shell/kb
