[Phpwiki-talk] [urls] stuck in mod_rewrite for prettifying urls

[Tara S. <te...@cl...>]

I've successfully set up http://spirolattic.net/wiki/ to point to my=20
wiki (but as you've understood from my previous posts, I'm not satisfied=20
with that).

Sorry if I'm repeating myself, btw (I hope I'm not rambling too much, I=20
got a bit of a concussion this morning).

I would like http://spirolattic.net/ to point to the wiki, and=20
http://spirolattic.net/RecentChanges to point to RecentChanges... you=20
get the idea.

So, armed with mod_rewrite and a lot of courage, I produced this:

RewriteRule ^([^wiki]+)$ wiki/$1

which of course fails miserably.

http://spirolattic.net/ takes us nowhere, and=20
http://spirolattic.net/RecentChanges drops us on the HomePage.

Is anybody out there inspired?

Thanks if you can help :)

Tara

PS- tell me if I'm straying too far away from WikiThings

rather then mod_rewrite it why not just move all the wiki source files up
one directory so they actually live at http://spirolattic.net/ ?

> So, armed with mod_rewrite and a lot of courage, I produced this:

if you want the rewritten rule to show up in the users browser you need to
have mod_proxy enabled as well and have these options at the end of rule
[P,L] for example here's a mod_rewrite rule i used to do to make a friends
web site which he wanted to show up on my site to where it was actually
hosted on uswest:

  RewriteRule  ^/(.*)  http://www.users.uswest.net/~nift/$1    [P,L]

> RewriteRule ^([^wiki]+)$ wiki/$1

i think you want something more like this (assuming that there are not
other non-wiki pages on spirolattic.net ... if there are then you're gonna
have to figure out a way to tell what's a wiki page adn what isn't):

  RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://spirolattic.net/wiki/$1	[P,L]

> which of course fails miserably.

if i remember my regex's correctly what you're doing is creating a
character class with the []'s so rather then matching "wiki" plus stuff
you're matching one or more w's, i's or k's.

For complicated Tara-reasons, it's not possible (the wiki is accessible=20
through two domain names, so the mapping is a little delicate).

Tried this:

RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://climbtothestars.org/outside_wiki/$1 [P,L]

doesn't seem to work for me.

Actually, I don't want the re-written rule to show up in the browser. I=20
want http://spirolattic.net/RecentChanges to stay in the browser, even=20
if the "real" place of the thing is=20
http://spirolattic.net/wiki/RecentChanges.

the problem with something like this is that it will rewrite the=20
rewritten uri -> hence ^/([^wiki]*) to prevent it from matching a uri=20
with "wiki" in it.

I'm actually trying to match "non-wiki-stuff". When you're matching=20
"positive", I think (well, that's what works in the other rewrite rules=20
I have running at the moment) that (india|logbook) will match either=20
"india" or "logbook". So I tried doing this: [^(wiki)] - but it doesn't=20
work either.

*sigh*

if anybody else has other ideas for this, I'll be glad to hear them -=20
but please don't lose any time on it.

Try:
(I'm assuming this is going in a .htaccess file, if it's going into
the server config file, you need to handle/expect leading /'s in the
URLs.  I'm also assuming you've copied index.php to 'wiki'.)


RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^wiki       -        [L]
RewriteRule ^wiki/.*    -        [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)       wiki/$1  [L]


I think you'll also have to manually define VIRTUAL_PATH to the empty
string, in 'wiki' (assuming 'wiki' is your index.php.)
