Question

I’m banging over the wall with this…

I need to establish a zend framework application inside a subdirectory.

i.e. the domain is tricell.ss and I want to use tricell.ss/tricell as application main directory.

Whate’ve done:

1. I’ve setted up in my config (application.ini) the:

   resources.frontController.baseUrl = "/tricell"
   

2. I’ve made another var in my config

   baseUrl  = "/tricell"
   

3. In my Boostrap I’ve got this:

   $router     = new Zend_Controller_Router_Rewrite();
   $frontController->setRouter($router);
   $frontController->setBaseUrl($this->config->baseUrl);        
   
   $frontController->dispatch();
   

4. In my layout I’m trying to display image with using:

   $this->baseUrl('/img/btn.png')
   

5. Here are my vhost configuration:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
   DocumentRoot "/HTDOCS/tricell/tricell/public_html"
   ServerName tricell.ss
   RewriteRule ^$ [L] 
   
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?tricell.ss$
   RewriteRule ^(/)?$ tricell [L]
   </VirtualHost>
   

6. here is my .htaccess:

SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

The problem is when I’m trying to display image nothing happens. When I’m trying to get the image by URL:

http://tricell.ss//tricell/img/btn.png

I’m getting info about wrong controller. How I can make this right? I can (without any problems) make configuration for root domain like tricell.ss and then get image i.e. tricell/ss/img/btn.png, but I want to work on subdirectory, and I can’t do that with images. What I am doing wrong here?

Answer 1

I’ve just manage to resolve my issue… it’s quite simple but I was very confused by all this rewriting rules.

As saying always tricell is confusing let’s make some changes to that as well.
So to achive something like tricell.ss/sub I would need to:

1. Put my whole application inside /HTDOCS/tricell/tricell/sub
2. Change my vhost from this line: DocumentRoot “/HTDOCS/tricell/tricell/public_html” to: DocumentRoot “/HTDOCS/tricell/tricell/”

3. Insert yet another .htaccess in my /HTDOCS/tricell/tricell/sub directory:

   RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ – [F]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} =””
RewriteRule ^.*$ /sub/ublic_html/index.php [NC,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/sub/public_html/.$
RewriteRule ^(.)$ /sub/public_html/$1

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^.*$ – [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^public_html/.*$ /sub/public_html/index.php [NC,L]

This resolved my all issues.
