Thread: Apache Editing? WTFFF.

Apache
======
Apache must be configured so that mod_rewrite works. Here are
instructions for Apache 2. Apache 1.3 is very similar.

1. Make sure a line like the following appears in your httpd.conf
LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so

2. In the <Directory> directive of your virtual host, look for this
line
"AllowOverride None"
and change it to
"AllowOverride FileInfo Options"

3. In the <VirtualHost> section of the config file for your host there
will be a line defining the hostname. You need to add the following
if you want virtual hosts to work properly:
"ServerAlias *.domain.tld"
Replace domain.tld with whatever your one is, and remove the quotes.

I need to fix up a wordpressMU website.
Have no idea how to fix this Apache stuff, since I assume this is the issue with the blog.

Anyone know where to find this file? How to edit it?

The website is running with cPanel X.

Do you run your own server?

It's not mine, and I'm certain they don't.

All I have is access to ftp, and cpanelX.

Use your FTP to create and upload a phpinfo.php to your home directory.

Code:

   <?php 
  phpinfo();
?>

Once you do, call it with your browser and check to see if mod_rewrite is in the variables.
If not, send a support ticket about it.

Awsome, thanks classact. Going to test that now.

When I did, this popped up

core mod_authn_file mod_authz_host mod_authz_groupfile mod_authz_user mod_authz_default mod_auth_basic mod_cache mod_mem_cache mod_include mod_filter mod_deflate mod_log_config mod_logio mod_env mod_expires mod_headers mod_unique_id mod_setenvif mod_proxy mod_proxy_connect mod_proxy_ftp mod_proxy_http mod_proxy_ajp mod_proxy_balancer mod_ssl prefork http_core mod_mime mod_status mod_autoindex mod_asis mod_info mod_suexec mod_cgi mod_negotiation mod_dir mod_imagemap mod_actions mod_userdir mod_alias mod_rewrite mod_so mod_auth_passthrough mod_bwlimited mod_fpcgid mod_jk mod_php5 mod_security2

Does that mean its enabled?
What about the specific changes that are listed there?

I am almost certain you are going to need to open a support ticket with the host.

I had set this up once before and it was necessary to edit files only a user with root access on a server would have, unless there is a way to force it in your local account.

Alright, thanks grim.
