Hi,

My eZpublish is 4.2 and my site is managed by Apache without virtual host.

I would like to hide my siteaccess name in the URL. So I put in the site.ini,

RemoveSiteAccessIfDefaultAccess=enabled in the section [SiteAccessSettings]

But my URL looks like : http://morgoth.versailles.inra.fr/index.php//Tools/REPET

The siteaccess name is hiden but there is // !

How can I do to have only one / ?

2scd question : Use rewrite rules in httpd.conf or .htaccess file, is there the only way to get out index.php from the URL? IF no what is the other way?

Thank a lot for your answer

To get rid of index.php, you need to add "ForceVirtualHost=enabled" in [SiteSettings] group in settings/override/site.ini.append.php and modify your .htaccess per following instructions.

This may also solve your problem with double slash.

Whoops, sorry, didn't notice that you don't have access to virtual host in apache. Not sure if this will work then.

I've had varying results with trying to remove index.php when not having virtual host setup and ultimately I would just get access to virtual host and be done with it.

Change your SiteURL settings in your default siteaccess site.ini.append.php, the SiteURL may not end with '/' neither the siteaccess name, just 'index.php', and then clear the cache. There are already topics about removing index.php from url, I use .htaccess:

Options -Indexes


DirectoryIndex index.php


RewriteEngine On


#Clustered setup switch

#RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f

#RewriteRule ^/var/([^/]+/)?storage/images(-versioned)?/.*  /index_image-common.php [L]

       

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webdav\..*

RewriteRule ^(.*) webdav.php [L]



RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^soap\..*

RewriteRule ^(.*) soap.php [L]


Rewriterule ^/var/static/.* - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)favicon\.ico - [L]

RewriteRule ^robots\.txt - [L]

RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml - [L]

RewriteRule ^var/cache/debug.html.* - [L]

RewriteRule ^var/[^/]+/cache/debug.html.* - [L]

Rewriterule ^var/storage/.* - [L]

Rewriterule ^var/[^/]+/storage/.* - [L]

RewriteRule ^var/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L]

RewriteRule ^var/[^/]+/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L]

RewriteRule ^var/([^/]+/)?cache/public/.* - [L]

Rewriterule ^design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascript|flash)/.* - [L]

Rewriterule ^share/icons/.* - [L]

Rewriterule ^extension/[^/]+/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|flash|images|lib|javascripts?)/.* - [L]

Rewriterule ^packages/styles/.+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/[^/]+/.* - [L]

RewriteRule ^packages/styles/.+/thumbnail/.* - [L]

# Uncomment the following lines when using popup style debug.

# RewriteRule ^var/cache/debug\.html.* - [L]

# RewriteRule ^var/[^/]+/cache/debug\.html.* - [L] 

RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

Just change all site.ini.append.php files and remove index.php from SiteURL and set the following settings:

[SiteAccessSettings]
ForceVirtualHost=true
RemoveSiteAccessIfDefaultAccess=enabled

Clear the cache.

It's working with 4.4, here's a sample: http://dapp.com.br

Thanks Thiago, works very nicely on linux hosting.

Still struggling to get it to work on OS X.
