could not get mod_rewrite to work

[newbies]

I tried to find a solution in this forum in vain. There are posts but they are posted years ago.

I installed 2.4.1 under the root directory as /home/mydomain/www/ojs

my config url settings are as follows:

Code: Select all

base_url = "http://www.mydomain.org/ojs
base_url[index]= http://mydomain.org
base_url[journal] = http://www.mydomain.org/journal


my .htaccess file in root directory is this:

Code: Select all

#Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Use this set of 3 lines for each of your journals
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^www.mydomain.org
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/journal/$1 [L]

# Use this set of 3 lines to allow access to the site level
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^www.mydomain.org
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/index/$1 [L]

The URL setting in configure file seem to work, because I can see various links on the journal page has changed to expected format, for example, the link for journal ABOUT is http://www.mydomain.org/journal/about. The problem is when links are clicked, I received 500 error.

Could someone take a look at my code to see where the problem is? Thank you very much!

I still need help, please!!

I check my Apache error log and found this for the 500 error:

Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary

Hi newbies,

This is an Apache configuration issue, not an OJS issue; I'd suggest trying stackoverflow.com or reading through these forums for more posts on the rewrite subject. Unfortunately we can't help with debugging mod_rewrite rulesets.

Hello!
I don't know to which topic to write so I will post my question here.
In Site administrator's area -> Hosted Journals we can configure path to each journal.
But this path is common for multilanguage journals. From SEO side the best approach is to have different journal's name in different languages (it will affect actual journal's URL).
So this is impossible to configure through OJS system.
But is there a way to make it with mod_rewrite or .htaccess?
Maybe it was already discussed?
Thank you!

Hi!
I've very low experience with mod_rewrite. Searching through forums I've found this example:

The main path to one of the journals is:
https://www3.domain.net/ojs/intellectual-economics/
Once the locale has been changed I'd like to change to URL address to corresponding translation.
For example Lt locale should look like this:
https://www3.domain.net/ojs/intelektine-ekonomika/
But this rule doesn't work...

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} ^.*user/setLocale=lt_LT.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule /?ojs/intellectual-economics ojs/intelektine-ekonomika [QSA,L]


Am I doing something wrong or first line doesn't accept the param?
Maybe, someone who is more experienced could help me with this?
