#+TITLE: mod\_rewrite with Fedora 10 and ISPConfig for WordPress
#+DATE: 2009-12-09 10:33
#+TAGS: apache2 fedora ispconfig mod_rewrite
This relates to Fedora 10 and ISPConfig 3.0.1 set up as described in
[[http://www.howtoforge.org/perfect-server-fedora-10-ispconfig-3][this HowtoForge post]].
One of my colleagues recently got interested in offering our clients
Wordpress as a content management system, so he's been trying it out.
Yesterday he found out that if he wanted to change the permalink style
in Wordpress he needed write access to =.htaccess=, which he didn't have
because the user rights haven't been set up very well there.
So I gave him write access by using
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
chown apache:apache .htaccess
#+END_SRC
Unfortunately this resulted in a 500 Interal Server Error.
Looking at the error log for the website I tried this for it let me
know that =RewriteEngine= directives were not allowed in the =.htaccess=.
Since I didn't want to mess with the base configurations of ISPConfig
I started looking around for other options. Eventually I found that I
had to add something similar to this to the Apache directives field
under options under the website's settings
#+BEGIN_SRC text
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<Directory /var/www/[sitename]/web/>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</Directory>
</IfModule>
#+END_SRC
Of course ~[sitename]~ should be replaced with the name of your website.
It all works after I restarted the apache server myself, but I do not
know if that is completely necessary. Also it might take a few seconds
before ISPConfig finishes editing the configuration file.
