Joomla 3 installation in a subfolder - htaccess settings Topic is solved

[Miri3]

I have a website where I installed another cms with its htaccess and uses URL rewriting.

I also need to install joomla in a subfolder.
I created a subfolder called "joomla", and installed joomla.

to configuration.php I set

Code: Select all

public $live_site = 'https://mysite.com/joomla/';
public $log_path = '/mypath/mysite.com/joomla/administrator/logs';
public $tmp_path = '/mypath/mysite.com/joomla/tmp';

The site is working properly.

My question is:
what do I need to change to joomla's original htaccess, to make joomla work properly in a sub folder? Because I'm having problems with the ReDJ component that I use for 301 redirects.

In my opinion it is a conflict with the htaccess file.
So how do I change joomla's original htaccess to make joomla work in a subfolder?

On joomla use also:

• Search Engine Friendly URLs (Yes)
• Use URL Rewriting (Yes)

Thank you

It's probably unnecessary to place a [non-empty] value in the configuration.php file for $live_site.

If you locate another J! installation as a sub-folder of a J! file system (which is possible but I wouldn't recommend it), you need to uncomment (remove the # from) the line (about line 92) in the file .htaccess that says

Code: Select all

# RewriteBase /

Hello sozzled
So in your opinion, it's not necessary to add anything after

Code: Select all

 RewriteBase /

example

Code: Select all

 RewriteBase /joomla

AFAIK, just uncomment the line; try it yourself. See what happens.
