crazy rewrite error

So this problem started a year ago but I figured it was not related to apache or ISPCONFIG. I finally decided to resolve it today, and it's apache or something.

Here's what the deal is. My translation application for Areyouliberal.com ends up giving an "500 error - Internal Server Error!" error.

Error log shows this:

Code:

[Fri Apr 17 13:02:44 2009] [alert] [client 72.198.79.154] /var/www/web6/web/wp-content/plugins/translator/.htaccess: Options not al$

[Fri Apr 17 13:02:45 2009] [warn] RewriteOptions: MaxRedirects option has been removed in favor of the global LimitInternalRecursio$

The .htaccess for the website documentroot has the following:

Code:

#Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=50
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Vhosts.conf in the httpd/conf/vhosts/ directory has the following for Areyouliberal.com:

Code:

ErrorDocument 405 /error/methodNotAllowed.html
ErrorDocument 500 /error/internalServerError.html
ErrorDocument 503 /error/overloaded.html
AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /var/www/web6/user/$1/web/$3
AliasMatch ^/users/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /var/www/web6/user/$1/web/$3
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^areyouracist\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://areyouliberal.com/$1 [L,R]
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
  RewriteRule .* - [F]
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>

How can I get Rewrite to work appropriately? According to httpd.conf there is a LOADMODULE for modrewrite.so so that should not be an issue.

I have no Apache Directives added to the website through ISPCONFIG's interface.

 

Okay, after modifying Apache Directives on the ISPCONFIG web interface I added:

Code:

<Directory /var/www/web6/web/>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

This resolved several issues, however, I am still having rewrite issues on sub-directories that should be rewritten. Is there a way to do a full override for the entire website?

 

Please check if there are .htaccess files in some subdirectories or other parts in the Apache configuration that override this configuration.

BTW,

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^areyouracist\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://areyouliberal.com/$1 [L,R]
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
  RewriteRule .* - [F]
</IfModule>

can be shortened to

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^areyouracist\.com [NC]
  RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://areyouliberal.com/$1 [L,R]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
  RewriteRule .* - [F]
</IfModule>

 

There are some .htaccess files but just standard little options +indexes types, nothing for rewrite.

 

Okay. Would it be like doing a directive for that be as:
<Directory /var/www/web6/web/>
Options +indexes
</Directory>

Yes?

And what's the word on a script to move from 2.2.x to 3.x.x ISPCONFIG versions? :-D

 

Yes.

This is not possible. We've mentioned that in many threads now. Please accept it.
