Fix .htaccess related issues

[anonymous]

.htaccess is writable but is never written to, even if the option to use it is turned on. Obviously, this means that everything is 404.

Yes, mod_rewrite works on my host.

I even tried creating it myself, and making it writable, but no go. I've tried adding feeds, deleting feeds, refreshing feeds. Nothing will make it write.

Okay, my mistake. I thought .htaccess would be generated dynamically, but apparently it is static.

I deleted it because it was giving me a 400 error. If I went to http://example.com/rss, it would give the error, but not http://example.com/rss/

I figured out the problem. (I'm "anonymous")

In .htaccess, you need:

SetEnvIf Request_URI "/" static

Cheers, guys. I'm really liking it. I help out with WordPress and will likely be helping out here whenever I notice bugs or want to add some functionality.

patch to fix .htaccess

Okay, nevermind, that breaks the other URIs.

Still looking for a fix.

The .htaccess file is far from optimal. Any help appreciated.

Hi, you could try http://wiki.gregarius.net/index.php/Apache_configuration_tips

If you do not have access to your conf.d and your apache installation automatically corrects something like http://example.com/dir to http://example.com/dir/ then trying adding this line to your .htaccess (near all the other SetEnvIf?'s)

 SetEnvIf Request_URI "/rss$" static 

in the .htaccess file

It works fine for me. YMMV

If you still have problems try posting on the gregarius-dev mailing list. You usually get a reponse there quicker.

From #173, this needs to be fixed also.

If you type in:

http://www.mysite.com/rss/My_Feed_Name

You get an error message instead of goin to:

http://www.mysite.com/rss/My_Feed_Name/
