www alias directories

[ed209]

Hi,

I have a problem with the modules/someModule/www and it's symlink
created in the main www folder. Take the media module as an example.
When installing the media module, it created /www/media which it
should do. But I then removed the front controller script "index.php"
and added the "cool URL" .htaccess file to www.

The problem is that if I go to www.mysite.com/media I don't get the
media module, I get the list of content of the /www/media symlinked
directory. Is there a solution to this?


Thanks,
Ed.

This pb comes with the .htaccess file that has 2 conditions to
rewrite the url. It checks whether the FILENAME is a file or a
directory. If this is the case, the rewrite rule doesn't happen.
Try to replace:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

By:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]

In www/.htaccess

The "-l" flag will check also for the FILENAME to be a symlink.
But I wonder if this will work on windows where the moduleName/www
directory is copied instead of being symlinked. Anyone on windows
could check?

Cheers,

Does not work in windows unless you are using the linkd tool to allow
symlinks to be created.

I got a 500 error code when I tried that. I will look into your
suggestion in more detail though. The default SGL rewrite rules have
also caused another issue related to one of my previous posts about
being able to receive a GET var like this www.mysite.com/?P36=abc123 .
With the rules enabled, SGL looks for a module called P36 so what I'd
like to do is check if there is a P36 var being sent and if so send
that request to www.mysite.com/default/?P36=123abc

thanks.
