Godaddy Ubuntu 3.6 mod_rewrite问题

Question

I have been at this for 3 hours and cannot seem to get mod_rewrite to work with GoDaddy on a shared server under a subdomain. I have an app in a subdirectory and I've used the same rules before on multiple servers so I know they work. Here's what I've got:

PHP Version 5.3.10-1 Ubuntu3.6

subdomain root/
-.htaccess
--appdir/
---.htaccess
----public/
-----.htaccess

subdomain root/.htaccess

Options -Multiviews

That's it for the document root .htaccess, many have suggested to do this with GoDaddy servers.

appdir/.htaccess

Options -Multiviews

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /appdir
RewriteRule    ^$    public/    [L]
RewriteRule    (.*) public/$1    [L]

This routes all requests to the appdir/public directory

appdir/public/.htaccess

Options -Multiviews

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /appdir/public ### also tried just adding /appdir ###
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [PT,L]

ErrorDocument 404 index.php

Just to be sure mod_rewrite was available, I ran sudo a2enmod rewrite from Bash and checked after restarting apache with print_r(apache_get_modules()); and sure enough it's there so needless to say I'm at a complete loss as to what the problem may be. Anyone have similar experiences with GoDaddy and have suggestion on what to do to get mod_rewrite running? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

From a default ubuntu install to get up and running with mod_rewrite you have to :

Enable mod rewrite

a2enmod rewrite

Then make sure you are allowing overrides in the site config (/etc/apache2/sites-available/) and update the line AllowOverride All in the '' directive.

reload apache config

service apache2 reload
