Title: Multisite with Zeus Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Multisite with Zeus * [meeko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meeko/) * (@meeko) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-with-zeus/) * Hello, * I ended up doing a network site BUT the hosting service surprisingly use only Zeus on their servers (I know, should have triple checked, long story), which means problems with .htaccess rewrite rules. * I found this bit of code on forum, which seems to work well, I can make the site work, BUT I haven’t figured out how to get blogs search for stylesheets and files from the right place.. * I made up a sample blog at [http://stthomascrookes.org.uk/sample/](http://stthomascrookes.org.uk/sample/) which demonstrates this problem. Below is the rewrite.script code I’m using now. * ``` RULE_0_START: # Get the document root path and put value into the SCRATCH array. # This is the server path not the web URL. # e.g. /content/DesignerPlus/i/n/domain.co.uk/web/ map path into SCRATCH:DOCROOT from / # Get the URL without the domain. # e.g. /test&colour=red # e.g. /blog/2007/10/31/an-example-post/?color=red set SCRATCH:ORIG_URL = %{URL} set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = %{URL} # See if there are any queries in our URL. match URL into $ with ^(.*)\?(.*)$ # If there are… if matched then # Set a var to path without the domain part. # e.g. /blog/2007/10/31/an-example-post set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = $1 # Set a var to the passed queries. # e.g. colour=red set SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING = $2 endif RULE_0_END: RULE_1_START: # This is setting a var to the server path and sub folders. # e.g. /content/DesignerPlus/i/n/domain.co.uk/web//blog/2007/10/31/an-example-post set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME = %{SCRATCH:DOCROOT} set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME . %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI} # Check to see if the file exists. look for file at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME} if not exists then # The file wasn’t found so is it a folder? look for dir at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME} if not exists then # No folder either. So now check the URL for special hosting folders. match SCRATCH:ORIG_URL into % with ^/webmail|^/tech_support|^/controlpanel if matched then # If a special folder was requested end the script. goto END else # There were no files, folders or special folders so set the new URL. # — Sub directory ————————————————————- # If the blog is in a sub directory… # e.g. /blog/index.php/2007/10/31/an-example-post match SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI into $ with ^/blog(.*) if matched then set URL = /blog/index.php$1 # — Top level —————————————————————– # If the blog is in the top level of the site… # e.g. /index.php/2007/10/31/an-example-post else set URL = /index.php%{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI} # If there is only a top level blog you can remove the # match and surrounding if statements. endif # — ————————————————————————— # Go to the next rule. goto RULE_2_START endif endif endif # If files or folders were found end the rewrite script. goto END RULE_1_END: RULE_2_START: # Check for queries in the requested URL. match SCRATCH:ORIG_URL into % with \?(.*)$ if matched then # If queries were found add them to the new URL. # e.g. /index.php/2007/10/31/an-example-post/&colour=red set URL = %{URL}&%{SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING} endif # — Sub directory ————————————————————- # If you only want to rewrite the sub directory uncomment this bit. match SCRATCH:ORIG_URL into % with ^/blog if matched then # — Sub directory ends ——————————————————– # End the script. goto END # — Sub directory ————————————————————- endif # — Sub directory ends ——————————————————– RULE_2_END: ``` Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [munish.kumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/munishkumar/) * (@munishkumar) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-with-zeus/#post-1760442) * Same Issue with my site also .Please tell me if fixed. * I am facing problem with sub domains not working with zeus server >i don’t have any idea how to write rewrite.script.
