Wordpress and Clean Urls/Htacess Help

AskedRelic · January 18th, 2008, 11:25 PM

Hi,

I'm having some trouble getting Wordpress to work with clean urls via my .htacess file. I've done this before with several different hosts, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Currently my site is temporarily here: http://sh100.surpasshosting.com/~sweptawa/

I've changed my WP Permalinks options so as to not include /index.php/ and tried following the steps mentioned here:

I've tried several mod_rewrite rules, none of them working. Any clue what is wrong?

Thanks!

Well nevermind for the moment, I've broken everything.

Well, one thing you will most likely need to do with Wordpress is edit the \wp-includes\vars.php file to force $is_apache to be true in the Server detection section near the bottom:

PHP Code:


			
// Server detection

//$is_apache = ((strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'Apache') !== false) || (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'LiteSpeed') !== false)) ? true : false;

$is_apache = true;

$is_IIS = (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'Microsoft-IIS') !== false) ? true : false;

The reason is that $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] has a value of "WebServerX" most likely.

After doing that, then Wordpress will modify the .htaccess file how it sees fit. Here's the Wordpress portion of mine:

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Hope it helps,
Mark H.
