DokuWiki Rewrite Settings on 1and1 Hosting
While in the process of setting up a Dokuwiki install I came across a problem with generating clean URLs using Apache rewriting.
The installation comes with a default .htaccess which is,
RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /dokuwiki RewriteRule ^_media/(.*) lib/exe/fetch.php?media=$1 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^_detail/(.*) lib/exe/detail.php?media=$1 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^_export/([^/]+)/(.*) doku.php?do=export_$1&id=$2 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^$ doku.php [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule (.*) doku.php?id=$1 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^index.php$ doku.php
However on 1and1 shared hosting when serving Dokuwiki directly from the domain root directory I need the following change,
RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^_media/(.*) lib/exe/fetch.php?media=$1 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^_detail/(.*) lib/exe/detail.php?media=$1 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^_export/([^/]+)/(.*) doku.php?do=export_$1&id=$2 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^$ doku.php [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule (.*) doku.php?id=$1 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^index.php$ doku.php
While the moment I thought of this it became obvious the documentation within the file suggest this is an unlikely value to edit and also presents it elsewhere to the RewriteEngine so not as obvious as I thought it could be.
