CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi guys,

I have installed a seperate instance of WP on the blog directory of my site. Everything works great........... EXCEPT! The root directory listing.

Example: domain.com/blog = defaults back to domain.com.

I tried to combat this with a 301 redirect but that is even getting over written by the CMS somehow. There is nothing in the blog directory except WP, so this is confusing to me. Everything else works just fine except accessing the root /blog/ etc..

Any ideas?? Has this happen to anyone?

cms 1.10.3 is no longer supported so upgrade asap.

Normally you can install cmsms next to wp, so both in their own directory. You cannot install cmsms in the root directory and wp in a subdirectory.

hmmm, So what would be a work around then, installing this on a seperate directory???

And just to be clear:

root/cmms/blog (WILL NOT WORK)

root/cmsms/
root/blog/ (WILL WORK)

Please Verify and thanks!

CMSMS can be installed in a subdirectory under WP.... or WP can be installed in a subdirectory under CMSMS. Both will work, IF you have setup your .htaccess correctly.

The default .htaccess file shipped with CMSMS (as doc/htaccess.txt) will setup rewrite rules to write all /xxxx stuff to index.php?page=xxxx but checks if the requested item is not a file or a directory first:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

I know this works as I use it regularly. However if you are not running the default .htaccess, or are using some other environment, you may have difficulty.

I am runnning it on a LAMP server, and am using cpanel for all .HTACCESS edits/changes. I have existing rewrites for subdirectories and they all work fine but WP. For some reason it does not like the domain.com/blog directory at all, and always dumps back to domain.com

HOWEVER everything after this will work just great, for example

domain.com/blog/category or domain.com/blog/post-name

but anything straight to the root of blog fails big time.... Kinda stumped on what to do. I also tried to force it with HTACCESS, but that failed as well....
