Hi!

The generation of nice URLs as described in the
installation instructions replaces sputnik.cgi
by an arbitarty word: "wiki","en" or something
like this.

I'd like to get rid of these words alltogether
to produce real clean URLs,for instance
    http://mydomain.at/about
This seems to be possible because
http://wowprogramming.com/ does it.

My own attempts to achieve that failed because
I'm not familiar enough with Apache rewrite.
Can someone give me detailed instructions
how to achieve that please.

Peter

It's relatively simple, I use the following:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteRule ^/?$ /book.cgi?p=Home_Page [L,QSA]
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /book.cgi?p=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Obviously the application is called book.cgi.  I just redirect the
root page /book.cgi?p=Home_Page.  The next two lines say to ignore
anything that resolves to a file or a directory.  The final line
simply takes anything after the first / and passes it as a parameter
to book.cgi.

Hope that helps.

- Jim

Jim,

seems to work so far for normal pages. Have
a look at
     http://rubrica.webfactional.com/

Unfortuanatly special pages, for instance

     http://rubrica.webfactional.com/sputnik/config

do not display correct and I'm not able to edit
it if logged in as Admin.

I've set  NICE_URL in sputnik/config to "". Here
is my htaccess.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^/?$ /sputnik.cgi?p=index [L,QSA]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sputnik.cgi?p=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Do you have any advice?

tia

Peter

Did you change BASE_URL in your sputnik config?

Do you mean in sputnik.cgi ? No, I did not.

I think I have to change HOME_PAGE_URL in sputnik/conf
too. But to do so I have to reset sputnik first.

It is midneight here and I will continue tomorrow...

Your NICE_URL should be "/". Your BASE_URL should still be
"/sputnik.cgi". Your HOME_PAGE_URL should be "/", but this is less
important. This just makes sure that links to "index" and the logo at
the top will just point to http://rubrica.webfactional.com/ and not to
http://rubrica.webfactional.com/index or
http://rubrica.webfactional.com/sputnik.cgi?p=index.

Looks about right.
