I am in the process of migrating my site to Wordpress from IIS.
I have run into an issue:
I have URL's that are a mix of upper and lower case that reference images. These URL's are getting a 404 because the case of the URL does not match the case of the file location.
For example, in my article I have a URL:
https://aaa.bbb.com/wp-content/migrate/ABC/abc.png
The file this is referencing is: /var/www/aaa/wp-content/migrate/abc/abc.png
When I change the URL to the same case as the file, it works, however how can I make it ignore the case of the folder on disk?
I tired the mod_speling module by putting this into /etc/apache2/apache2.conf but this just does not work for me. Also tried putting this into .htaccess in the root of my web directory but that made no difference.
<IfModule mod_speling.c>
CheckSpelling On
CheckCaseOnly On
</IfModule>
I have read various threads on here but I'm completely stuck.
I managed to find a work around to this.
I ended up writing a rewrite rule in the VirtualHost file to rewrite everything to lowercase apart from anything within the directory of assets imported from Windows.

I have a wordpress website with the integration of a laravel5.1 app. I use a couple views from the laravel app. How can I shorten the the following url
http://wordpressapp.com/laravel-app/public/item/view/18
I would like to remove /larave-app/public/ from the url so that when they click on the link the url shows as
http://wordpressapp.com/item/view/18
I am not sure if I need to update the .htaccess file in the laravel-app/public folder or the .htaccess file in wordpress or in both files. Thanks
I'm not an .htaccess expert but I know this trick has worked for me in the past:
RewriteRule ^laravel-app/public/(.*)$ /$1 [L,NC,R]
I imagine that the .htaccess file in the root of the site (WP) would need to be edited for this. I'm not sure what impact the "L" in the rule will have on the laravel app, perhaps it's worth giving it a try and testing?
This site: https://www.addedbytes.com/articles/for-beginners/url-rewriting-for-beginners/ has some interesting explanations for you if you need more customisation.
I recently downloaded a fully functional drupal(6) site using FTP. Though I installed the Drupal instance, I got the modules and the themes that were in the sites/all folder, but wasn't able to get the actual site configuration ( Configuration and Settings of those modules )
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Assuming this is a follow-on of: Drupal Site install on localhost after downloading source using FTP
If you get the Drupal install screen when accessing a site you've just migrated to your localhost, it's likely because you're trying to access the site locally using a URI that's different than the remote site AND this URL does not fall within the directories that Drupal searches when looking for a settings.php file (see comments starting about line 20 in the default.settings.php file of the sites/default folder).
You have two options:
Option 1: Create a symbolic link on your localhost that points requests to your local URI to the directory hosting the live site. This would look something like this:
ln -s /path/to/webroot/sites/default/ /path/to/webroot/sites/mydevsite.dev
Option 2: Create a sites/sites.php file that maps URI's to the correct folder hosting your settings.php file. For example, you'd add this to sites/sites.php if you left your settings.php file in the sites/default folder:
$sites['mysite.dev'] = 'default';
$sites['www.mysite.dev'] = 'default';
$sites['mysite.com'] = 'default';
$sites['www.mysite.com'] = 'default';
Simply put, this translates into: "Serve sites mysite.dev, www.mysite.dev, mysite.com, and www.mysite.com from the folder located at sites/default."
I usually use the second option. It's more sustainable, OS independent, and can be committed to source control.
Update based first 5 comments:
You need to edit the .htaccess file in your Drupal install. Look for this section:
# Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory or in a
# VirtualDocumentRoot and the rewrite rules are not working properly.
# For example if your site is at http://example.com/drupal uncomment and
# modify the following line:
# RewriteBase /drupal
#
# If your site is running in a VirtualDocumentRoot at http://example.com/,
# uncomment the following line:
# RewriteBase /
And do as it says, uncomment out the line and set it to your subdirectory.
Yes the steps are correct. Is it the design that is not coming or is the functionality of views missing? If its only the css that is not coming, then the issue could be that your theme is not getting applied. Check if the theme folder correctly exists, and disable/enable the theme.
I want to create http://localhost/Symfony/temp/.
In temp will be a basic index.html and some images. If I create the folder right now and put the index.html file in /temp/ I get a 404.
How do I get a normal response from http://localhost/Symfony/temp/index.html?
Requests going to temp/ are being caught by Symfony's default .htaccess. You'll have to add following:
# allow access to temp
RewriteRule ^temp.* - [QSA,L]
If you want it to work even with app_dev.php just change it to ^[app_dev.php/]*temp.*.
But I'm more interested why do you want to do that in root directory and not in static files directory (eg. web/static/temp). You wouldn't need to mess around with .htaccess and you'd be able to link to such images with asset(...).
Here's the solution I eventually came up with.
All I did was create a .htaccess file in /temp/ and inserted:
allow from all
Since I was getting a 404 error and all the other symfony folders had a .htaccess with
deny from all
I reversed engineered an answer.
Hope this helps someone else.
I have WAMP installed on my pc where I would like to run Drupal 6.
When I'm installing Drupal, I get the option to activate Clean URLs.
First I put my Drupal install in the www folder and I could choose to enable the clean URLs, but for backup reasons I moved it outside the www folder and created an alias the would point to the folder.
When I installed Drupal again, I couldn't choose to enable clean URLs anymore; the option was grayed out.
I would like to know why this happens; it seems some Apache module or PHP extension isn't available outside the www folder.
Just to be sure, I also tried an XAMPP install and created an alias with the some code lines as in the WAMP server but that worked, for some reason. The Apache version in WAMP isn't the same as the XAMPP install but I don't really think that is relevant.
I believe it's an config error in WAMP but I can't find out what.
Clean URLs doesn't work in the directory you copied Drupal because for that directory the directive AllowOverride is not set to All.
Drupal requires that every directives found in .htaccess files are enabled, in order to enable clean URLs; the directive AllowOverride, when set to All, allows to use all the directives that a .htaccess can contain.
The reason that in one case you can select the the option to enable the clean URLs, and in the other case is not selectable, is that Drupal, during its installation verifies the server is set to work with clean URLs, and change the form field to read-only if the server cannot support such feature.
To notice that the .htaccess file provided from Drupal can possibly need to be edited, in order to enable the clean URLs, as reported in the following comments, found inside the .htaccess file.
# Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory or in a
# VirtualDocumentRoot and the rewrite rules are not working properly.
# For example if your site is at http://example.com/drupal uncomment and
# modify the following line:
# RewriteBase /drupal
#
# If your site is running in a VirtualDocumentRoot at http://example.com/,
# uncomment the following line:
# RewriteBase /
So I have been reading all i can for the last 2 hours and have not a solution.
I moved my drupal site from one host to another, all works well minus:
images in the the 'sites/defualt/files' folder are in the FTP and i can priview them there but when got to the URL I just a page not found message.
example image URL: http://www.example.com/sites/default/files/image.jpg
this what's in my code and the path is correct but the image does not show.
Here's what I have checked:
Clean url's are enabled,
'admin/settings/file-system', set to public
'admin/settings/file-system', File system path: 'sites/default/files' as it should be
.htaccess in files folder is set to
SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2006_006
# Options None
# Options +FollowSymLinks
and I have tried it with '#' removed
I have tried leaving the settings.php $base_url ="" blank and with my exsample domain
I have the files folder set to cmod '777'
Checked the database files table, path is set to 'sites/default/files/imagename.png', which seems right
image names do not have spaces in them.
I have been flushing the cache for the testing different settings
I have run the cron as well.
I don't know what I am missing the files are there, the paths are even correct when i look at the rendered html, but the images are just not showing and the direct urls say 'page not found'
Any Help would be awesome, I thought i had this problem before and solved it but i have no idea I missed.
Thanks for any help
Hhmm, have you checked that all parent folders have at least the execute flag set so that you can browse into them? I think it is safe to set all folders as: 755
Another way to debug this is trying to download other files contained in other folders, e.g. the README in root or some files in the misc/ and modules/ folders.
Just deleted .htaccess file inside default/files it solved the issue for me..I dont exact lines of code need to be there in .htacces file..
