Hello,

I experienced an issue when I tried to create a website located on subdomain and powered by MSM. Here is the situation:

I want to setup the website on http://name.domain.com. The path.php is correct ($site_name = “name”). My .htaccess is:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/name/$1 [L]

The problem is that when I create an entry (e.g. http://name.domain.com/comments/42) and somebody wants to submit comment there, the form redirects to http://name.domain.com/name/comments/42. I double checked the configuration of the website in MSM, everything is just like in the documentation.

May you give any idea how to fix this - every auto-generated from EE link has this “name” after domain.com, which breaks the pages. My EE version is 1.6.0, Build 20070708 (MSM is 1.0, the same Build).

Thanks!

Generally I’d say yank the htaccess and make sure everything works fine without it.  Then worry with the htaccess bits.  But just looking at it, your rewrite rule has the name bit in it- so try removing that:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/name/$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Thanks, Robin. It just doesn’t work without .htaccess, but with your advice the issue is history.
