Hi,
I have spent a day trying to get WordPress working on my ReadyNAS with custom permalinks. Without custom permalink everything works fine. The reason why I want custom permalinks is that the ReadyNAS seems to be terribly slow, so I want to install the WP super cache to make things faster. This requires custom permalinks.
My problem is that I get 403 errors no matter what I have tried. I have read a lot of posts and instructions on how to get rid of that, but nothing has helped me so far.
The following information could be useful:
The URL to the blog is http://www.mysite.com/blog. The files are in /c/blog, and the ReadyNAS has configured the blog in apache like this (note the redirect, which works):
Alias "/blog" "/c/blog"
<Location "/blog">
Options Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /blog [R,L]
This is the WordPress generated .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
In the error log I see this line every time I try to load the site: Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /c/blog/
Putting Options +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch to .htaccess doesn't make the error message disappear.
What can I do?
