Hi, I'm trying to understand url rewriting with DomTool. My wiki, based on PmWiki, can use ModRewrite with .htaccess files to turn ugly urls like
http://www.example.com/~someuser/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage into pretty ones: http://www.example.com/~someuser/Main/HomePage The instructions I was using at my old host are these (taken from http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/CleanUrls): Example Two: .htaccess in the Directory Above the Wiki's Directory Before: http://www.example.com/~someuser/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage After: http://www.example.com/~someuser/Main/HomePage Here's the .htaccess file. In this example it goes in the directory above the one that contains pmwiki.php. # Use mod_rewrite to enable "Clean URLs" for a PmWiki installation. RewriteEngine On # Define the rewrite base. It's not necessarily PmWiki's directory. RewriteBase /~someuser # Send requests without parameters to pmwiki.php. RewriteRule ^$ pmwiki/pmwiki.php [L] # Send requests for index.php to pmwiki.php. RewriteRule ^index\.php$ pmwiki/pmwiki.php [L] # Send requests to pmwiki.php, appending the query string part. RewriteRule ^([A-Z0-9\xa0-\xff].*)$ pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=$1 [QSA,L] I know .htaccess is not allowed at Hcoop, but the documentation says you can do most things with DomTool. I therefore looked at the reference, and was happy to find the functions rewriteBase and rewriteRule. However, I can't get them to work. When I try rewriteBase "/", I get an error seanmcl.com:10.5-10.25:error: Function argument has wrong type. Expression: rewriteBase Actual type: no_spaces -> [Location] Needed type: location The rewriteRules compile, but the rewriting doesn't work as expected. web "cmu" where DocumentRoot = home "public_html/cmu"; with rewriteRule "^$" "wiki/pmwiki.php" [redirectWith permanent]; rewriteRule "^index\.php$" "wiki/pmwiki.php" [redirectWith permanent]; rewriteRule "^([A-Z0-9\xa0-\xff].* )$" "wiki/pmwiki.php?n=$1" [redirectWith permanent]; end; Does anyone have any ideas for me?
