JustinMs66@hotmail.com Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 right now i am using http://ip.goes.here/~admin/ to view my website until i switch dns over this new server. http://ip.goes.here/~admin/ points to /home/admin/public_html/. I have an .htaccess in /home/admin/public_html/ saying: RewriteEngine On allow from all RewriteRule ^contact$ contact.php when i go to http://ip.goes.here/~admin/contact.php, it works, but when i go to http://ip.goes.here/~admin/contact, it says: 404: The requested URL /home/admin/public_html/contact.php was not found on this server.however, i checked it with SSH, and that file does exist. so .htaccess is looking in the wrong place. is this because of the extra directory /~admin/ in the url i have to use until i switch, is it screwing things up?

wildteen88 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 You need to set rewriteBase to /~Admin/ RewriteEngine On allow from all RewriteBase /~Admin/ RewriteRule ^contact$ contact.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
