Hi,

I have some problems with redirection, htaccess and all this esoteric stuff... ;)

I installed cmsms in a subdirectory (http://www.magdalenagerber.ch/mg) and now the site is finished and I would like to redirect http://www.magdalenagerber.ch to this subdirectory...

I sounds easy, but I have no clue how to do that

Thanks in advance for you help.

Try this

1. Enable  enable assume_mod_rewrite in config.php
2. Create a file named .htaccess.
3. Put this inside

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} = www.yourdomain.com
RewriteRule ^(*.)$  /yoursubfolder/$1 [L]
4. Move this file to your domain root

Thank you for your help. I was enthousiast, it sounds clear, simple; but it doesnt work...

So far I have this:

Code: Select all

#------------
#URL Settings
#------------

#Show mod_rewrite URLs in the menu? You must enable 'use_hierarchy' for this to work for modules
$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = false;

#Extension to use if you're using mod_rewrite for pretty URLs.
$config['page_extension'] = '';

#If you don't use mod_rewrite, then would you like to use the built-in
#pretty url mechanism?  This will not work with IIS and the {metadata} tag
#should be in all of your templates before enabling.
$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = false;

#If you're using the internal pretty url mechanism or mod_rewrite, would you like to
#show urls in their hierarchy?  (ex. http://www.mysite.com/parent/parent/childpage)
$config['use_hierarchy'] = false;

#If using none of the above options, what should we be using for the query string
#variable?  (ex. http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=somecontent)
$config['query_var'] = 'page';

I use the multilangue version of cms (1.0.2 mle build 4) and as soon as I change the mod_rewrite

Code: Select all

$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = true;
it makes clean nice pretty URLs like http://www.magdalenagerber.ch/mg/fr/tellerstories instead of http://www.magdalenagerber.ch/mg/index. ... lerstories but returns a "Not Found" error page...

another try with the .htaccess in the root (/.htaccess).
