Thanks for the tip! :)

This seems to be working for one.com hosting (Linux) — I’ll test it, if I find errors or bugs I’ll post them.

inhoud .htaccess bestand: 
------------------------
#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
 RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]

 RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
</IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0
------------------------

(added bc.. for better display. -Els)

I had a 500 Error using the standard htaccess file with a provider called hosteurope.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

The following line caused the problem: RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]

I copy pasted the htaccess contents suggested by textpattern from the browser. That resulted in the - sign (the minus) in the middle to be a little bit different, some kind of other character. When I deleted that character and replaced it with the - on my keyboard it worked perfectly fine.

Hope somebody skips wasting 10 hours.

Hi,
Does anybody here have byethost free hosting as their host? I am having difficulty trying to get clean URLs here.

els · 2010-06-23 21:27:48

Sarah, your question will be noticed quicker if you open a new topic in the Troubleshooting forum. This thread is for solutions, not for questions ;)

Ruhh · 2010-06-24 08:42:35

Oh! I’m so sorry. It has been 3 years I have not visited this forum. Long time, no TXP love! But I’m back!

Hi guys,

I’ve installed textpattern two times for now, the first time I was stuck with the clean URL thing and I thought, well, this product is great but I’m testing CMSs and I have no time for that. I’ve tested a lot of CMS since this time and I must admit TextPattern is just fantastic. Using this link (Forum), and thanks to the community here, I’ve made a small howto that works on Linux Debian Lenny, here it is, I guess it’ll work on any debian box.

1/ Modifying the default apache site allowing apache to handle .htaccess
Edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and look for <Directory /> then change :

AllowOverride none
by
AllowOverride all

2/ Enabling mod_rewrite in Apache2, type this at the console prompt

a2enmod rewrite
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

That’s all

3/ Make a .htaccess file at the root dir of your installation (for me it’s /var/www)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

3bis/ If textpattern is not installed at the rootdir but at /var/www/something/

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /something/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

4/ You can find a .htaccess sample clicking ‘?’ in diagnostics=> Preflight check or at the svn

Regards,

Deel

Hi Deel,

I don’t know about your other points, but re:

I’ve read that a sample “.htaccess” file was provided with textpattern, I’ve never found it…

I think one way to find out what it should be is to have no .htaccess file, then go to ‘Admin, Diagnostics’ (I think, I’m away from proper web access) and you should get a warning about missing .htaccess file, with a ‘?’ link adjacent. That link takes you to a copy of the std .htaccess file.

Luck. Cheers -Alan

It’s there alright — I’m assuming from your post that you’ve not got hidden files hidden in whatever tool you’re using to look at the source tree. So, in the meantime, here’s a link to it in the svn repository.

I tried various things that were posted here for the German “1und1” but nothing worked. Then I found a hint here (http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=29976) that suggested adding this: Options -MultiViews.

This is the complete content of my .htaccess now and it works (note: the /textpattern/ is used because I have my installation running in this subdirection):


DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /textpattern/

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

Options -MultiViews

</IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0

Working with TXP4.5.4 on 1and1 (fr)

	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
	RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

	RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization}  !^$

Just a little note:

If your textpattern installation is stored in a subfolder you need to adjust the

RewriteBase /

according to your path.

Just a little heads up: it seems there has been a change in a recent version of Apache that causes the default .htaccess rewrite rules to fail. I wrestled with it for an hour or so and finally settled for this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Seems to be the only thing that works!

Which Apache version… and how did it fail; did you get an error message (which one)?

NNF · 2016-04-02 22:49:15

I am not sure which specific version my host (NearlyFreeSpeech) is using. All I know it’s 2.4 something.

What happened is mod_rewrite would get stuck in an infinite loop (causing a 500 internal server error to the end user):

And this is what my host told me:

This appears to be related to a change in Apache that made the interpretation of rewrite rules more strict.

It’s debatable / an open question as to whether your rewrite rules were never supposed to work and this change fixed that, or whether the change itself has a bug / is overzealous.

At a guess, it’s sort of the former because it looks like your rules were intended for us in an httpd.conf file rather than an .htaccess file; they do not account for the differences between the two. (However, many people aren’t aware of those differences.)

(Either way, what the Apache developers do is beyond our control and therefore it’s not a system problem.)

I’m inclined to believe them because these guys seem to know their stuff very well, but this is all the information I have right now. I will see if perhaps they can elaborate.
