Block XML on main directory, unblock in an app directory. - Mendex - 2013-05-10
Hello All,
I've encountered a problem.
I'm using GetSimple for my company's website. I really like it, for our intranet i've installed eGroupware on a subdirectory so our main site is in:
http://codexsoluciones.com.mx while our intranet is in http://codexsoluciones.com.mx/intracodex
I'm using fancy URLs.
The problem I'm having is (this is what I believe at least) the .htaccess files denies the reading of .xml files on all subdirectories and the intranet app can't see its own xmls as they all turn up a 404 even though they exist.
I've tried several Apache tutorials and help pages and I always end up with a 500 error :/
Has anyone encountered this type of problem? Is there a way to Deny the xmls in all except the intracodex subdirectory (recursive)?
Any help or insight will be much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Mendex

A quick solution could be removing all this from your root .htaccess:
Code:
# blocks direct access to the XML files - they hold all the data!
<Files ~ "\.xml$">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
</Files>
<Files sitemap.xml>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Satisfy All
</Files>If your data and backups directories have their own deny .htaccess files (they should, if you haven't removed them), it's not really necessary to have those lines (kind of a double protection)

Thank you for your answer Carlos.
I removed it. But now I get a 500 Error en every page except the main page.
Again Thanks.

Then you removed more than your were supposed to i imagine.

Shawn, thank you for your answer.
This is what the htaccess file looks like after I removed the file directives:
------------------------------------
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
# Usually it RewriteBase is just '/', but
# replace it with your subdirectory path
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

looks like you have that last rule block twice
Ideally you would not have gs mixed in with other directories, and therefore not have this problem.
gs should be in a subdirectory, so its htaccess only applies it it and not your doc root.

That worked!
For reference, the htaccess File that worked:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
# Usually it RewriteBase is just '/', but
# replace it with your subdirectory path
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Big thanks Shawn and Carlos for your time an patience.
Best Regards,

like i said ideally you do not do this.
If you want to mix your gs in with a static site, you can just use a subpath.
Code:
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ SUBDIR/index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]Then your gs install is vrigin without other crap inside it. And noone is the wiser that it is in a subdir.
And siteurl set to base domain. This is al in the wiki i think.
