Question

Rewrite URLs for a website in a subdirectory

Answer 1

A:

First of all, welcome to SO!!

Make zure mod_rewrite is enabled in httpd.conf and add à slash after lyrics:

RewriteBase /lyrics/

I also tried with the ending slash but it didn't work either. The module is enabled and rewriting works fine for http://localhost/

Answer 2

A:

Wait - so you're doing this in development and production mode, and it only works in development ( localhost ) ?

Are you relying on virtualhosts or strictly .htaccess? Can you confirm that even a simple basic .htaccess rule like ErrorDocument works in production mode?

Any reason you can't just make a VirtualHost for that directory?

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName foo.localhost.com  # this needs to be in your hosts file as 127.0.0.1 foo.localhost.com
DocumentRoot C:/whatever/lyrics

* add your rewrite rules here *
</VirtualHost>

So, if I try the same rewriting rules under http://localhost (no subdirectory), it works just fine. But if I move all the code in http://localhost/lyrics/ it doesn't work anymore.I will try with a virtual host. Thanks.
