Multisite with Zeus

Hello,

I ended up doing a network site BUT the hosting service surprisingly use only Zeus on their servers (I know, should have triple checked, long story), which means problems with .htaccess rewrite rules.

I found this bit of code on forum, which seems to work well, I can make the site work, BUT I haven’t figured out how to get blogs search for stylesheets and files from the right place..

I made up a sample blog at https://stthomascrookes.org.uk/sample/ which demonstrates this problem. Below is the rewrite.script code I’m using now.

RULE_0_START:
# Get the document root path and put value into the SCRATCH array.
# This is the server path not the web URL.
# e.g. /content/DesignerPlus/i/n/domain.co.uk/web/
map path into SCRATCH:DOCROOT from /

# Get the URL without the domain.
# e.g. /test&colour=red
# e.g. /blog/2007/10/31/an-example-post/?color=red
set SCRATCH:ORIG_URL = %{URL}
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = %{URL}

# See if there are any queries in our URL.
match URL into $ with ^(.*)\?(.*)$
# If there are…
if matched then
# Set a var to path without the domain part.
# e.g. /blog/2007/10/31/an-example-post
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = $1
# Set a var to the passed queries.
# e.g. colour=red
set SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING = $2
endif
RULE_0_END:

RULE_1_START:
# This is setting a var to the server path and sub folders.
# e.g. /content/DesignerPlus/i/n/domain.co.uk/web//blog/2007/10/31/an-example-post
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME = %{SCRATCH:DOCROOT}
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME . %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}

# Check to see if the file exists.
look for file at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME}
if not exists then
# The file wasn’t found so is it a folder?
look for dir at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME}
if not exists then
# No folder either. So now check the URL for special hosting folders.
match SCRATCH:ORIG_URL into % with ^/webmail|^/tech_support|^/controlpanel
if matched then
# If a special folder was requested end the script.
goto END
else
# There were no files, folders or special folders so set the new URL.

# — Sub directory ————————————————————-
# If the blog is in a sub directory…
# e.g. /blog/index.php/2007/10/31/an-example-post
match SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI into $ with ^/blog(.*)
if matched then
set URL = /blog/index.php$1
# — Top level —————————————————————–
# If the blog is in the top level of the site…
# e.g. /index.php/2007/10/31/an-example-post
else
set URL = /index.php%{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}
# If there is only a top level blog you can remove the
# match and surrounding if statements.
endif
# — —————————————————————————

# Go to the next rule.
goto RULE_2_START
endif
endif
endif
# If files or folders were found end the rewrite script.
goto END
RULE_1_END:

RULE_2_START:
# Check for queries in the requested URL.
match SCRATCH:ORIG_URL into % with \?(.*)$
if matched then
# If queries were found add them to the new URL.
# e.g. /index.php/2007/10/31/an-example-post/&colour=red
set URL = %{URL}&%{SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING}
endif

# — Sub directory ————————————————————-
# If you only want to rewrite the sub directory uncomment this bit.
match SCRATCH:ORIG_URL into % with ^/blog
if matched then
# — Sub directory ends ——————————————————–

# End the script.
goto END

# — Sub directory ————————————————————-
endif
# — Sub directory ends ——————————————————–
RULE_2_END:
