mod_rewrite in Panther Server (Mac OS X Server 10.

  • Hi,
    I’m a relative newbie and am trying to get WordPress 1.2 to run properly on my Xserve running Panther Server (Mac OS X 10.3.3).
    I’ve managed to install everything, and the blog is running at:
    https://www.cprp.ca/index.php
    But I cannot get the Permalink Options to work right. I’ve set the admin tool to use
    /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
    and I’ve cut and pasted the rewrite rules into my .htaccess file. Mac OS X 10.3 comes with the mod_rewrite Apache module built-in and turned on by default, based on this post:
    https://sillytech.com/threads/772
    But I cannot get it to work. As you can see from clicking on the links on the blog page above, all the links point to non-existing pages and return the 404 page. So obviously something is not working right.
    Any suggestions?

  • I had to change the config file for the site that is running to allow a .htaccess file to be used, you need to add

    <Directory "/Users/yourUsername/Sites/wordpress">
    Options All +MultiViews -Indexes -ExecCGI
    <IfModule mod_dav.c>
    DAV Off
    </IfModule>
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

    where the directory is pointing to your wordpress directory.

    Thanks for the tip. Actually, I ended up putting the rules in the conf file for the site instead of using .htaccess, and it works fine now.

    Why would this be a problem (don’t get me wrong, i believe it is) but the Panther server is based on Unix like the OS right?
