Does htaccess trailing slash fix need to be adjusted for subfolder?

[homebound]

My pligg9.6 is installed in a subfolder /news on www.best-juicing.com and I'm experiencing the well-known voting/logging out problems

I've tried the htaccess fix below without success:

# Fix trailing slash problem
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+[^/])$ http://best-juicing.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
# Remove www., always.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.best-juicing\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://best-juicing.com/$1 [R=301,L]


Does this fix need to be adjusted for the /news subfolder? (and how?) Because implementing it causes this URL

http://www.best-juicing.com/news/index.php

to redirect automatically to

http://best-juicing.com/index.php

Thanks

Hi

In pligg with a default .htaccess file, if you are using a subfolder.

## If Pligg is installed in a subfolder, change the below line to RewriteBase /name-of-subfolder
RewriteBase /

Find that line and replace with

RewriteBase /news

Then Set your base url as Juicing For Weight Loss - Juicing For Health Helpful In Healthy Weight Loss.

That way all the requests on Juicing For Weight Loss - Juicing For Health Helpful In Healthy Weight Loss are redirected to Juicing For Weight Loss - Juicing For Health Helpful In Healthy Weight Loss

In theory that should get the sub-folder working and voting+ajax problems fixed.

If it doesn't work, i'm one with more expertise in mod_rewrite will reply to this thread.

Thanks, Savant

I've made the changes re RewriteBase /news in htaccess but problems persist eg:

When I click the "Home" link at the top at the home URL:

http://www.best-juicing.com/news/index.php

which is the following:

http://www.best-juicing.com/news (no trailing slash)

it "redirects" me to

http://best-juicing.com/news/ ("www." is now missing)

and from that point on I have problems eg logging out, unable to vote etc.

Other links eg the "Published News" link, which is the following:

http://www.best-juicing.com/news/ (trailing slash included)

takes me to

http://www.best-juicing.com/news/

which presents no problems and permits me to vote, logout etc.

Any enlightment will be highly appreciated!

[savant]

you said you tried to fix your htaccess on the first post.

can you remove all the changes you have made and try out what i said.

Savant,

I had undone all my initial changes before trying out your instructions, but to no avail.

[savant]

does it still redirect back as before

or another problem

Hi Savant,

It redirects as before:

When I click the "Home" link at the top at the home URL:

http://www.best-juicing.com/news/index.php

which is the following:

http://www.best-juicing.com/news (no trailing slash)

it "redirects" me to

http://best-juicing.com/news/ ("www." is now missing)

and from that point on I have problems eg logging out, unable to vote etc.

Other links eg the "Published News" link, which is the following:

http://www.best-juicing.com/news/ (trailing slash included)

takes me to

http://www.best-juicing.com/news/

which presents no problems and permits me to vote, logout etc.

Thanks for your patience!

homebound, you managed this finally? I am facing exactly the same problem.

[wanderingmind]

No solution for Homebound ... I face the same problem, all htaccess modifications suggested by everyone has failed.. Just checked Homebound's site, and his site too is stuck at the point where he described it..

Anyone seen the same prob in a subfolder before?
