Hello all,
I have used Apache for a bit but haven't really gotten into any of its "advanced" features or options, so sorry if this questions turns out to be basic, but I am a bit lost here.
OS is Ubuntu
Apache 2.2
PHP 5.3.10
I am working on an Apache setup that was not done by me and is setup to read the URL in the following way.
www.domain.com/news-events/
this would get me the news-events page
www.domain.com/news-events/random-post/
This would get me the random-post page under news-events
I want to setup a new, unrelated site, at
www.domain.com/scrm/
This is a separate software package that will take care of a different function than the main site.
When I access this I am getting a 404 page not found error. I understand why this is happening, but I am not sure how to get around this. I would like www.domain.com to ignore the /scrm/ directory and let the new software in that directory handle the URL request and not the main software at www.domain.com. Is there anything I can do to get this working that doesn't require a total rebuild and restructure of this setup? As that I can't do.
Not sure if this impacts any of this but it also seems that Virtual Directory Support is disabled. My first thought was a virtual host, but I think that this means I can't do that.
Thanks for any help on this.

Yes, there is a default webpage in that folder. The web software in the new directory works fine on my local testing server. I am just trying to understand what has been done with the public server as I wasn't the one that set it up, and don't understand what was done to it.
Something I forgot to mention is that there is already a folder on this server setup the way I want to use this new one. /sub1 is seen as a separate site and is ignored by the main software in the root folder. I just don't see how they did this so that I can create /sub2. |

James Bond,
That was it. There is rewrite rules on for the main site and the one sub-folder that was a separate site had rewrite rules turned off. I just put a new .htaccess into my new sub-folder that did the same and that took care of the problem I was dealing with. Hadn't thought about that at all.
Thanks,
Philip |
