[Phpwiki-talk] SpiroLattic

[Aredridel <are...@nb...>]

Well, I just actually looked at SpiroLattic on a "Real Browser" (I usually
use the text-mode w3m browser, since it's small and fast (and on my P150,
that's rather nice), and since my memory moduel in my machine died, I can't
even manage graphics mode. Anyway, I just looked at the site, and I'm
-really- impressed.  I think I'm going ot be redesigning the NBTSWikiWiki
soon, perhaps, with some inspiration from you.  It's been about time anyway.

I was just playing around with Apache and discovered one other way to make
PHPWiki work as the root of a domain: the ErrorDocument directive.  It's
a weird hack, but it'd work.

You'd put:

	ErrorDocument 404 /phpwiki/index.php
	DirectoryIndex HomePage

in your httpd.conf, and make a few tweaks to PHPWiki:

	$PATH_INFO = $REQUEST_URI;
	Header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

in the index.php, I'd guess, though I'm not sure since I didn't actually try
it with anything but a phpinfo(); script.  (If PHPWiki uses 302 redirects
by default now (I honestly haven't had a chance to look), it'll break those,
but otherwise, it should work like a dream, and to override the wikiness of
a URI, just put the file in the directory, and a 404 will never trigger.

The downside is that this doesn't override apache's errorlogging, so you'd
have to deal with that.  Probably not a big deal with a wiki-only site --
just turn it off and use the accesslog or turn it on as neccesary.
