[solved] Help with mod_rewrite

Post by porta »

I have a multilanguage site and I am using mod_rewrite. I had everything up and running and had to move the site from my XP box to a newly installed Vista box. Before I moved the site everything was working as it should. Now it has stopped working on my original site as well :( Only thing I can remember that was changed since it was working was some page alias ,added meta information on the pages and turned off and on mod_rewrite module.

After installation (on the new box) of Wamp and cmsmadesimple everething seemed to to work. I then turned on the mod_rewrite and started to get problems. My PHP version is 5.2.6 and my Apache is 2.2.8. My CMS-version is 1.5.4

I have two languages on the site (en & se) but are only able to view one. Let's say I am on the swedish page then my URL looks like

http://192.168.10.39/se/test

When I clik on the english flag my URL chages to the correct one

http://192.168.10.39/en/test

but my content does still show swedish content. When I chose another option from the menu the URL goes back to the 'se' option.

When I turn off the mod_rewrite everything works fine and I am able to view both languages again. My .htaccess looks like below




# BEGIN Optional settings

# Turns off directory browsing
# not absolutely essential, but keeps people from snooping around without
# needing empty index.html files everywhere

my config.php lokks like this

# These settings will effect the overall behaviour of the CMS application, please

# setting this parameter to false.

#---------------------------------------------
#Use the old stylesheet logic?  It's much slower, but it works with older

#that uses a stylesheet callback.  Leave it as false instead you really
#need it.

$config['wiki_url'] = 'http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... dmin_Panel';

#modules written before 1.0 was released to work.  Keep in mind that this
#will use a lot more memory and isn't guaranteed to fix the problem.

#Not used anymore... kept around, just in case

If anybody out there have any ideas of what I can do to fix this I would be very happy!

Finally! The rewrite rule in .htaccess was wrong.

Old rule
  RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

New rule
  RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.*)$ index.php?page=$2&hl=$1 [QSA]
