Domains and install folder, help!

TimothyP · Post by **TimothyP** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 7:43 pm

I've got an install of Serendipity in my webmania webspace. Its in the default folder /serendipity/. I configured it originally to be pointed to at http://www.fracsoft.com/serendipity/ by setting relative base url to /serendipity/ and putting the full url as the base url. It worked fine.

I've since added a subdomain, deepbluesea.fracsoft.com, and set it to point to www.fracsoft.com/serendipity/. When I go to deepbluesea, I get nothing. However, if I type http://deepbluesea.fracsoft.com/index.php it starts to load the main page, but fails, or misses images or template styles. I've tried reconfiguring serendipity but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas of what my settings should be or what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Tim

Check your .htaccess file.

Another thing yuo might want to enabled is 'autodetect baseurl' within serendipity configuration.

But to me it looks like the site is working now?

I unfortunately don't know what to do with it...? Seems pretty standard.

Unfortunately still not right. Its like it can't load the images and things. This link demonstrates the first problem:

http://deepbluesea.fracsoft.com/

(doesn't locate an index.php)

and
http://deepbluesea.fracsoft.com/index.php fails to load the page properly (XML feed images are missing)

Timothy,

I cannot confirm. Everything works properly here. All images are there, on both URLs.

My web host has just this second sorted it out. Only problem now archives and admin broken but I'll get there one day

One other question, how can I simultaneously configure serendipity with a relative url of serendipy/ for one domain and a url of / for another?

Hi Timothy!

Okay, great. Maybe your admin deactivated AllowOverride in his vhost config and thus broke your links.

This is not possible, out of the box. You might be able to patch the baseURL autodetection mode feature to not only pay regard to HTTP_HOST but also REQUEST_URI. This snippet can be found somewhere in serendipity_config.inc.php - I must admit though that what you want to do is a not-so-nice thing for any webbased application

Garvin.
