Add "RewriteBase /" to .htaccess file #52

Closed piotrpog closed 4 years ago

piotrpog commented 4 years ago

On one of the servers i installed Craft, subpages didnt opened (only index.php) unless I added RewriteBase / to .htaccess file.

Maybe this should be added to default Craft .htaccess file?

Should work fine without it. Can you compare your .htaccess file to this one? Specifically make sure that the RewriteRule line doesn’t have any /s in yours.

I also had trouble with this on wamp, I had to use this to get it working

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    # Send would-be 404 requests to Craft
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(favicon\.ico|apple-touch-icon.*\.png)$ [NC]
    RewriteRule (.+) index.php?p=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

RewriteBase is only necessary for hosting environments using Apache where you'd need to adjust the path that mod_rewrite prefixed to the result of a RewriteRule, which is definitely the edge case, not the norm.

Going to go ahead and close this as it shouldn't be the default, but I do think we should have a support article on this for the times it comes up though. Have made a note to get that added.

Yes i agree with what you've said @angrybrad, my knowledge on this is slim and unfortunately my "fix" doesn't work on the other developers machines so I have to figure something else out... :(

OldStarchy commented 4 years ago

Without it, I just get an "internal server error" with no other information (logs are empty too), so I guess its redirecting infinitely, but the [L] should prevent that so i'm really not sure why its not working.

OldStarchy commented 4 years ago

It seems to be impossible to get craft working without adding RewriteBase / when running in WAMP. For now i'm going to give up since there's only so much time in a day, but if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them.
