Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[conor]

Hi Danielle,

because of the .htaccess rules on the root domain, the subdomain just redirects to the root.

Can you tell me what I need to put in there to stop it from rewriting the subdomain?

Yes, Apache will go right back to the DocumentRoot folder for the server when looking for .htaccess files, not just the current site/subdomain.. so a main site's .htaccess file will indeed be parsed and run, affecting what happens with a subdomain whose files are placed in a subdirectory of the main site.

So if you have a rule to redirect from non www. to www. or vice versa, that'll more than likely mess up your subdomain.

So you need to change this rewrite rule.

If the subdomain is new.mysite.com, adding the following condition to the "www. rule" should stop the "main"/"root" site's rewrite rule from messing things up:

# Don't mess with subdirectory new.mysite.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^new\.mysite\.com$

E.g., it might adjust a rule as follows:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mysite\.com$
# Don't mess with subdirectory new.mysite.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^new\.mysite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Hope that helps!

Please note that this obviously isn't a Ceon URI Mapping question so if you're still having trouble it's best to post in a new thread.

All the best..

There isn't a www rewrite rule in the htaccess though. I tried your solution anyway but it didn't work. I will start a new thread, thank you.

Hi Danielle,

You can't possibly have tried my solution if there was no appropriate rule to apply it to! :)

Get in contact with FTP, control panel and admin details and I'll take a quick look for you when I get a chance.

I won't be posting about it back here though, since it's a server not a URI mapping issue.

All the best..

I just installed Ceon URI onto a site that already had Fast and Easy Checkout installed. The FEC mod was working perfectly before the installation of the Ceon mod. Now, when I input user info on "/index.php?main_page=no_account" page, the form just refreshes itself and I can't proceed through checkout. A customer account is created though.

Any ideas on how I can fix this? It looks like these two mods are supposed to be compatible, not sure if I'm just missing something obvious here? Ceon URI is even turned off in the admin, and I still have this issue.

Hi,

They do work together so I'm afraid I don't know what you've done wrong, sorry.

I probably won't be on the forum much for the next few days so apologies for not being able to comment further.

All the best..
