Remove /cms folder from the url

Posted: Sun Mar 11, 2012 3:51 pm

My cmsms is installed in the folder /cms which currently shows on the website's url.

Id like to remove /cms folder from the url without having to relocate the entire cms to root and have all the current links reflect this.

So from website.com/cms to website.com.

Im using cmsms 1.10.3 with pretty urls.

oops, spoke too soon. The article list on the right (http://thriplow.org.uk/news.thriplow) is not working.

I suspect I need to do something in htaccess.

Code must be good, at least it works at my website... ;)
Perhaps double check config.php settings

The .htaccess and the index.html in the server root must only contain the code I posted above. (changed the text above)

config.php and the default CMSMS .htaccess are in the website root.

In CMSMS 1.10+ the config.php only need to contain:

Code: Select all

<?php
# CMS Made Simple Configuration File
# Documentation: /doc/CMSMS_config_reference.pdf
#
$config['dbms'] = '';
$config['db_hostname'] = '';
$config['db_username'] = '';
$config['db_password'] = '';
$config['db_name'] = '';
$config['db_prefix'] = 'cms_';
$config['db_port'] = 0;
$config['root_url'] = '';
$config['timezone'] = '';
$config['default_encoding'] = '';
?>
And perhaps the url rewrite lines.
Try to add # before the other lines in your config.php, might help.

index.html is exactly as you suggested but I cant reduce the other 2 files down to what you suggested as that would break the site in functionality and pretty urls.

This really should work:

Server Root
File #1 .htaccess

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteBase /cms

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule !^cms(/?|/.+)$ /cms%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
File #2 index.html

Code: Select all

<__html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/cms" />
</head>
</__body>
<__body>
</__html>
Website Root
File #1 config.php

Code: Select all

...
...
$config['root_url'] = 'http://www.cmsmadesimple.org';
...
...
$config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';
$config['page_extension'] = '.thriplow';
File #2 .htaccess The default CMSMS file from /doc folder

Strange, Most of the site works, its just the links on the news summaries and the articles list that break.

i use it in combination with cgblog. it works there....

Would cgblog be better in my case than news module then?

Will I be able to do all the same things in my news page in cgblog?

<!-- End News Display Template -->
and heres the summary list template that produces the article lists:

<ul class="lists">

<li><a href="{$entry->moreurl}" title="{$entry->title|cms_escape:htmlall}">{$entry->title|cms_escape}</a>
</li>
{/foreach}
</ul>

You might want to look into your news template...

Code: Select all

<img src="/cms/images/newsicons/page_green.png" border=0>
Some stuff is kind of hardcoded to an url inside the subfolder. If you did the same for links in some templates thats your problem :)
This is the place for you to start digging.

Grtz. Rolf

I guess I could change that to: <img src="[[root_url]]/images/newsicons/page_green.png" border=0>
