Wikka and mod_rewrite
Mod_rewrite translates URLs like http://wikka.jsnx.com/wikka.php?wakka=DotMG to http://wikka.jsnx.com/DotMG.
Wikka works with mod_rewrite. And Wikka works without mod_rewrite.
During installation, Wikka will try to figure out if mod_rewrite is available. If Wikka does not detect mod_rewrite, it's possible to manually configure Wikka to use it after installation.
Follow this simple instruction:
- Edit wikka.config.php (found in the root directory of the Wikka installation).
Change these lines:
"base_url" => "http://my.domain.com/wikka.php?wakka=", "rewrite_mode" => "0",
to this:
"base_url" => "http://my.domain.com/", "rewrite_mode" => "1",
If after following the instruction above mod_rewrite is still not working, there's only one possibility. Your web host does not have mod_rewrite configured so that you can use it.
Maybe not as simple as it seems with Windows based servers?
Typing "http://MyWikkaSite/WikkaPage" does not work and I have to type "http://MyWikkaSite/wikka.php?wakka=WikkaPage".
I have a windows 2K base, Apache+PhP+MySql and no trouble so far with my Wikka. As I fear I could have broke something with some additional code of mine, I tried a new setup from scratch and still have the problem.
Any idea where this could comes from? --ChristianBarthelemy
- In Wikka, as distributed, the .htaccess file(s) take care of the rewriting, so if you want to use mod_rewrite, .htaccess is necessary - unless you copy the content into a section in httpd.conf (if you have root access). Without the appropriate mod-rewrite statements in either .htaccess or httpd.conf no rewriting will take place. -- JavaWoman
- the .htaccess file delivered with Wikka 1.1.5.3 is in the Wikka folder - still not working - I will try again later on...
