LG .htaccess Generator

BRILLIANT! Going to install tonight!

BTW, Quick turn around from idea to production!

With docs and testing it was a couple of days on and off. Another EE itch scratched!

I have noticed one problem… When I go to my /system to get my control panel… My default site shows up. However when I go to /system/index.php it shows up. Maybe adding an exclusion by referencing the $cp_url & $system_path?

Do you have a template group named the same as your cp directory?

No, I only have the CP directory.

Hmmm… can you post your generated .htaccess file in a pastie so we can have a look at it? http://pastie.org/

Here it is, I am on MediaTemple in case you’re wondering.

Why Pastie BTW?

UPDATED: Added the remainder of the .htaccess

AddHandler php5-script .php

First thing I noticed is that the {ee:404} tag is not being rendered. I’m guessing thats because you don’t have a 404 page setup in EE.

Secondd thing is that it seems you have only pasted half your .htaccess. Wheres the “Include Method” part?

I figured it out. I forgot that the extension will create the .htaccess for all MSM domains. I have a directory called admin on another domain. The reason its there is for my clients to go to /admin instead of /admin.php. Any ideas to work around this? I’m thinking that I just need to delete the other domains until they are actually using them.

This is the setup i used: http://expressionengine.com/docs/installation/masked_cp_access.html

I will have to create the 404 Page soon.

Removed directory… still having the same problem…

The extension has per site settings so you can turn off .htaccess generation for each individual site.

You might also need to add /admin to the list of included template groups manually

Hmmm… When I hit Submit and Generate I get:

MySQL ERROR: Error Number: 1146 Description: Table ‘ee_default_install.exp_template_groups WHERE site_id = 1’ doesn’t exist Query: SELECT group_name FROM `exp_template_groups WHERE site_id = 1

My bad … accidentally uploaded the dev version… grab the download again 😊
