Sweetcron and .htaccess

[abesselink]

I have a Linux hosting and would like to install Sweetcron, a lifestream app. It looks like all the requirements are met, but my question is re: the .htaccess file. Will I be able to use this file to allow the app to work properly from a subfolder (per the Sweetcron installation instructions)?

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /[subfolder name]/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

Thanks -

Allan

G'day, Allan. Those Apache directives should work perfectly in an htaccess-file. If you have any problems, feel free to post'em here or open a support ticket.

Cheers,

I utilized the .htaccess file above ... so if my domain is www.abc.com, and sweetcron is in a subfolder, I used -

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /sweetcron/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

I received a 500 Internal Server Error.

How do I correct this problem? Is there something about the absolute vs relative url that is causing the issue? Please advise.

If my domain is www.abc.com and Sweetcron is in subfolder /sweetcron, this is what my .htaccess file looks like:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /sweetcron/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

When I go to www.abc.com/sweetcron/, I get a 500 Internal Server Error.

Suggestions? Is this an issue of absolute vs relative urls? Please advise.

If my domain is "www.abc.com", and Sweetcron is in subfolder /sweetcron, then this is the .htaccess file I used:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /sweetcron/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

When I go to "www.abc.com/sweetcron/", all I am getting is a 500 Internal Server Error.

Suggestions? Is this an issue of absolute vs relative urls? Please advise.

Try removing the trailing slash from the RewriteBase, like this:
RewriteBase /sweetcron

If that doesn't help, let me know in this thread or via PM which domain this problem's affecting, and I'll take a look.

Tried that option ... with and without the trailing slash. No go.

Will send you a PM.

Thanks for the PM, Allan. I poked around and believe I've solved the problem in the htaccess-file. Give it a whirl and let me know.
