Ok, figured it out. There is one more rule to add, in the first place,
before all the rest, to handle the wp-content links.
Here is the updated "how-to":
*Cherokee and Wordpress MU (WPMU):*
4 rules need to be added to be processed before any others:
*1 - Rule Type: Regular Expression:*
- Rule:
- Regular Expression: ^/blogs/.*/files.*$
- Handler: Redirection
- Regular Expression: ^/blogs/(.*)/files/(.*) to Substitution:
/blogs/wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2
*2 - Rule Type: Complex:*
- Rule:
- Regular Expression: ^/blogs/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+)/(wp-.*|.*\.php(\?.*|))$
AND
- Not ( File Exists, Match any file, disabled all the other checkboxes
)
- Handler: Redirection, 2 lines:
- Type Internal, Regular Expression: ^/blogs/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+)/(wp-.*)$
to Substitution: /blogs/$2
- Type Internal, Regular Expression:
^/blogs/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)/(.*\.php(\?.*|))$ to Substitution: /blogs/$2
*3 - Rule Type: Regular Expression:*
- Rule:
- Regular Expression: ^/blogs/(.*)\.php(\?.*|)$
- Handler:
- FastCGI, Information source: PHP Interpreter. All options left as
default.
*4 - Rule Type: Complex*
- Rule:
- Regular Expression: ^/blogs(.*)$ AND
- NOT ( File Exists, Match any file, disabled all the other checkboxes
)
- Handler:
- Redirection: Internal, Regular Expression: ^/blogs/(.*)$ to
Substitution: /blogs/index.php
*Changes compared to the initial suggestion*
I have placed the Regular Expression part of the "AND" Complex Rules first,
from my programming experience that would hopefully be faster than hitting
the filesystem all the time, specially since I/O cache is disabled in the
Not File Exists part. That is if Cherokee does shortcut evaluation of the
rules (I hope it does!).
Any feedback/suggestions?
