    Hello Falko & Till

    I just finished installing ispconfig 2 on Mandriva 2009.0 following the perfect set up located here:

    http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-mandriva-2009.0-i386

    Then I installed ISPConfig Version: 2.2.32 following the installation instructions

    It seems like everything is working so far (haven't tested emails yet)

    I made a web within ispconfig as usual, uploaded and installed wordpress 2.7.1 like I had in my previous install of ispconfig (centos 5.3)

    After installation everything is ok and I can log into wordpress and see the front page @ my domain.

    I needed to set up the permalinks to the post name so I went into my WP admin panel and changed the permalinks to:

    /%postname%/

    As soon as I did that, I visited my TLD and was greeted by a 403 / forbidden error that says

    "You do not have permission to access / on this server"

    I figured that I would need to update my apache directives within IPSConfig and proceeded to do so like so:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <Directory /var/www/web1/web/>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </Directory>
    </IfModule>


    (Web1 being where I have my new installation of WP)

    Still received the 403 forbidden error on both my TLD and wp-admin

    Deleted the apache directives and same error - no access to WP

    Then I thought that since the new update of ISPConfig that maybe we could just upload an .htaccess file via FTP which I did to receive an

    internal server error / 500.

    Am I missing a step to get the permalinks working or do I need CHMOD some folder / files?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    No.

    You can try this in the Apache Directives field of that web site in ISPConfig:
    Code:
    <Directory /var/www/web1/web/>
      AllowOverride all
    </Directory>

    Hello Falko

    No luck getting mod rewrite going

    NEW apache directive

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <Directory /var/www/web1/web/>
    AllowOverride all
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </Directory>
    </IfModule>


    OLD Directive

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <Directory /var/www/web1/web/>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </Directory>
    </IfModule>


    Using any of these 2 directives result in a 403 Forbidden error & that includes the index.php file (home page)

    If I take the apache directive out out, website operation is back to normal but no mod rewrite allowed in any of my scripts including word press.

    I see that Till wrote about this last month.

    and this

    Can the same fix be used for ispconfig 2 on a Mandriva 2009.0 server and if so, where is the file that needs editing as I cannot find it anywhere.

    All your help is truly appreciated

    Mandriva..

    Ispconfig2 have template file in this location
    Code:
    /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/
    your edited templates is good put into
    Code:
    /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/customized_templates
    there will be preserver if any ispconfig 2 update comes.

    So as i thing you need only allow this customer .htaccess file using apache directive, maibe something like this
    Code:
    <Directory /var/www/web1/web/>  
    Options +Includes +FollowSymlinks -Indexes  
    AllowOverride All  
    Order allow,deny  
    Allow from all  
    <Files ~ "^\.ht">  
    Deny from all  
    </Files>  
    </Directory>
    If you have problem with internal server 500 or 403 check your apache log..
    is good to check your apache config file if there isnt configuration error, like whitespaces or similar, that sometimes happen vhen you using custom apache directives.

    I always check this directory if there isnt config files with date sufix, which is conf backup because bad config typo......
    HTML:
    /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/
    Maibe this will help you.

    You are the man!

    This is how I have the apache directive now

    <Directory /var/www/web2/web/>
    Options +Includes +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    <Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Deny from all
    </Files>
    </Directory>

    and it works!

    I had manually changed a bunch of AllowOverride Nones to All in a few files and now am changing them back to their original state and see if anything changes.

    Once again, thanks!
