[pmwiki-users] I have a trouble about cleaning URL

[Shigeru Kobayashi]

Dear all,

I have been trying to clean URL as described in the following web
page, but I have a problem.
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/CleanUrls#docroot

I'm hosting a PmWiki based wiki on Aplus.net. According to the
Aplus.net's knowledge base, mod_rewrite is supported.
http://www.apluskb.com/scripts/Does_AplusNET_s_hosting_servers_answer1475.html

The URL of the wiki is:
http://gainer.cc/pmwiki/index.php
(/gainer.cc/html/pmwiki/index.php)

And I'd like to change the URL as follows:
http://gainer.cc/index.php
(/gainer.cc/html/)

I created .htaccess file as follows:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^$           pmwiki/pmwiki.php  [L]
RewriteRule ^index\\.php$ pmwiki/pmwiki.php  [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/a-z].*) pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=$1  [QSA,L]

But it seems that the rewriting does not work. Just to make sure, I
also tried again by replacing "pmwiki/pmwiki.php" with
"/gainer.cc/html/pmwiki/pmwiki.php", but got no luck.

* Currently, for some reason, http://gainer.cc/index.php exists to
redirect from http://gainer.cc/ to old MediaWiki based wiki. When I
confirmed, I renamed the index.php as _index.php.

I'm sorry for trouble you, but it would be much appreciated if you
give me any suggestions about this issue.


Best regards,
