So, my site is at http://www.bodhipaksa.com. My wife's site is in a subdirectory called /consciousmom and there's some code in the htaccess file that sends people to that subdirectory when they're visiting http://www.consciousmom.net. Or at least it did until I moved my blog from a subdirectory (bodhipaksa.com/blog) to the root.
Now her site still comes up, but without any styling, and it's impossible to log in. I'm assuming I need to make some change(s) to the htaccess file, which contains the following:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} consciousmom.net$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/consciousmom/.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /consciousmom/$1
Any ideas? I know squat about htaccess!
jdMorgan, a guru over at Webmasterworld, figured it out for me.
any cahnce we will get to hear how ?
JD is the preeminent regex guru on the web, I swear. Ive swapped a cpl emails with him over doing something custom for me. That site is a goldmine of info thanks to him.
Ha! Now I get replies! Not complaining really -- htaccess is a minefield, and I'm glad people are interested.
Here's the relevant bit of what's in the .htaccess file in my root ("darling" is JD''s code-name for my wife):
RewriteEngine on
#
# Canonicalize my domain name
# If requested hostname contains "bodhipaksa.com" (any case)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} bodhipaksa\.com [NC]
# but isn't *exactly* "www.bodhipaksa.com" (must be www and lowercase, with no appended dot or port numbers)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.bodhipaksa\.com$
# then redirect to canonical domain
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.bodhipaksa.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# Canonicalize darling's domain name
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} consciousmom\.net [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.consciousmom\.net$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.consciousmom.net/$1 [R=301,L]
#
# Darling's site (assuming it has its own .htaccess file at /consciousmom/.htaccess)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.consciousmom\.net
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/consciousmom/
RewriteRule (.*) /consciousmom/$1 [L]
#
# My site
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.bodhipaksa\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
