Frontpage publishing no longer works after adding permalink code to .htaccess

  • Hi,

    I have installed WordPress on my site at https://www.caltrade.com/news . To make the permalinks work I followed the instructions and put the following code in my .htaccess file:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /news/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /news/index.php [L]

    I didn’t know why at first, but suddenly I couldn’t publish via Frontpage and got this message:

    403 Forbidden
    Forbidden You don’t have permission to access /_vti_bin/shtml.exe/_vti_rpc on this server. Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at https://www.caltrade.com Port 80

    When I removed that code from the .htaccess file, my FrontPage publising worked fine again. Will it be possible to configure this so that I can have both FrontPage publishing and WordPress publishing with permalinks? Please let me know how to modify this code to make it work, if that is possible.

    Thank you

    Rob

  • Have a look at the Permalinks page in the codex, in particular, scroll down to the FrontPage section. That should get you rolling.

    Hi HandySolo,

    I was almost ready to come here and give you a virtual high five, but I couldn’t get it to work. I followed the instructions on that link and put “Options +FollowSymlinks” in the .htacess file of the _vti_bin, _vti_adm, and _vti_aut directories (actually, it was already there). Then I modifed the root .htaccess file with the WordPress code. The text of this file is below and the perma-links work great at https://www.caltrade.com/news but, you guessed it, Frontpage publishing no longer works. In the code below, I put the WordPress code at the bottom, but have tried a few different permutations nothing seems to work. I hope I am not condemned to a life of constantly cutting and pasting this code to make my Frontpage publishing work. Does anyone know if there is some way I can tweek this code to make it work, or if there is some other solution.

    Thank you

    Rob

    Wow that’s kind of upsetting. I was scrolling down the topic expecting a resolution at the end but nothing.

    So no way to get this to work eh? I’m having all the same problems.
