Hello.

I have silverstripe installed on a shared host. As the website is not finished, it is currently residing on http://test.rainyday.at. My problem is that the base url is http://test.rainyday.at/silverstripe/, I rather want only http://test.rainyday.at.

The funny thing is that if you enter links manually like: http://test.rainyday.at/design it works, but silverstripe automatically sets it to http://test.rainyday.at/silverstripe/design.

I guess the problem has to do something with the rewrite engine. The silverstripe installation resides in the following location on the server: /home/"username"/public_html/silverstripe. Within the directory there is a .htaccess with the following rewrite commands:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif)|(\.jpg)|(\.png)|(\.css)|(\.js)|(\.php)$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

In the /home/"username"/public_html/ directory there is another .htaccess file with the following rewrite commands:

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?test\.rainyday.at$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/silverstripe/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/silverstripe%{REQUEST_URI}/ -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [R,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?test\.rainyday.at$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/silverstripe/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /silverstripe/$1 [L]

Both .htaccess files were automatically generated! I am not an expert in this rewrite engine stuff, but I guess in the later commands is something, which disturbs the base url????

It would be amazing if there is anybody out there, who can help. I am already fed up with this issue.

Up!
Is anyone found solution?

That .htaccess looks a little different to mine. I know when there has already been a .htaccess file in the directory where I'm installing SS, SS seems to merge the two. From the point where the second "RewriteEngine On" begins looks like a server generated .htaccess. Try making a back of the file first then replace everything inside the htaccess with this code

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

<Files web.config>
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
</Files>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###
