Hello,
yesterday I've spent couple hours trying to solve pretty simple rewrite problem:
/~user/script/query -> /~user/script.php?query
and couple minutes ago I found out, where the problem was:
The toolserver is apparently set to handle links the way
/~user/script -> /~user/script.php
This global setting causes that it's not simple to solve the problem described above.
Two hacks have been found to solve it but one doesn't fit other needs
(/~user/script/query -> /~user/scriptwithdifferentname.php?query hack causes that
/~user/script.php?query doesn't work anymore because of renaming) and second is pretty
nasty (creating of /~user/script directory together with /~user/script.php - that
unnecessary and unwantedly doubles the directory's content).
So far I know, .htaccess can override global settings but neither me nor couple of my
friends I asked for help know how to override that.
Therefore I would appreciate one of these possibilities:
* any suggestion how to override/cancel (preferably complete working set of rules) this
behavior
* remove this behavior from global settings and create .htaccess in every user's
public_html directory with this rule as default (or add it to existing rules, if user
already has his .htaccess there)
Thank you for any help.
Regards
Danny B.
