TXP in a subdirectory ... am I silly?

andreas · 2005-11-15 17:22:16

I’m sorry to ask this but I couldn’t find anything in this forum, the FAQ or in TextBook:

for the first time since using it I want to install TXP in a subdirectory of a subdomain. I entered the correct path in the preferences tab and also included it in config.php. When I try to call an article I get an error: “No such section /name-of-subdir/”

I can view the home page alright and logging into the admin areas is fine as well.

I’ve tried to use rewrite base with /name-of-subdir/ but no success.

Any ideas? I’m sure, I’m probably overlooking something very obious.

Thanks.

What did you put as your site url?

andreas · 2005-11-15 20:39:53

subdomain.domain.com/subdir

Double-checked.

Mary · 2005-11-15 20:56:48

I found this.

andreas · 2005-11-15 21:13:07

No luck. Thanks, mary, for looking into this. I think I’m going to establish another subdomain for the site so that I can keep it in the root of the subdomain without the need for another subdirectory.

Well, it’s strange since I don’t get it to work even though I have another site with the exact same setup in a subdomain. The only difference is that the other site was upgraded from an earlier TXP version and this new one is a fresh install of 4.0.2.

It’s too late tonight, I’m going to look into it tomorrow. Thanks for your help anyway.

Can you post the diagnostics from the subdir install?

That’s weird… I have an install in a subdirectory and it works correctly.

I would bet, with my limited knowledge on using subdomains, that the problem is because the subdomain name (advent) and the name of folder where TXP is installed (also advent) are the same.

I have seen in some servers that when you want to use a subdomain (example: mysub.domain.com) you also need to have a /mysub/ folder in the root for the subdomain to work.

Or maybe the problem is here:

RewriteRule ^(.*) advent/index.php

Shouldn’t that be:

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

?

But if it was a server problem, why does TXP spit out a 404 error when I call the individual article?

If it was something with the server, I shouldn’t see anything at all, or should I?

I can access the root without problems.

$path_to_site: /home/www/ww6199/html/advent
Textpattern path: /home/www/ww6199/html/advent/textpattern
Site URL: advent.andreas-kalt.de

This looks like it’s installed in the subdomain root, not a subdirectory of the subdomain.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^advent$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) advent/index.php

I’d guess this is the problem. The way most hosts handle subdomains in subdirectories causes some peculiarities with the way mod_rewrite and .htaccess works. Since the .htaccess file is in /home/www/ww6199/html/advent, it’s possibly trying to load /home/www/ww6199/html/advent/advent/index.php.

Try it without those extra lines.
