I have a few platforms (domain.com/omeka, domain.com/wordpress,
domain.com/omeka-s) living alongside each other on an Azure cloud server
running Ubuntu 14.04.4 and Apache 2.4. A few days ago, I tried installing an
additional platform, but doing so seemed to break everything else on the
server, so I removed it and reinstalled Apache. After editing the .htaccess
file to remove a typo, everything worked. I left for the weekend, came back to
work this morning, and everything is broken again.
By broken, I mean every URL on the server redirects to a mod_rewrite
installation error page for Omeka (domain.com/install). Omeka has already been
installed and running for months. MR needs to be enabled for Omeka to be
installed and function properly. MR is definitely enabled.
$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
Module rewrite already enabled
I'm assuming this is a problem with either the /var/www/.htaccess file or the
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf file. Here's the relevant .htaccess code that is
default for Omeka:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule !\.php$ - [C]
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteRule ^install/.*$ install/install.php [L]
RewriteRule ^admin/.*$ admin/index.php [L]
RewriteRule .* index.php
And here's the relevant(?) apache2.conf code:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all denied
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/share>
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
AccessFileName .htaccess
If I remove the .htaccess file, or if I just remove some of RewriteRules,
everything on the server is inaccessible (including Wordpress & Omeka-S). I'm
clearly missing something. Any ideas?
