Wiki and Forum in Separate Folders

Viewing Source

If you want wiki and your forum to appear in different folders (e.g. /forums/ and /wiki/), you will need to edit up to 2 [I].htaccess[/I] files.

This is only practical if the setting "Simplify Wiki Links" ([HELP]VaultWiki: Server Settings[/HELP]) is enabled. If it isn't, use the [I].htaccess[/I] instructions for [HELP]Wiki Under the Forum Root[/HELP].

[h=3]Step 1[/h]
If you the setting "Wiki PHP File" is set to 'showwiki', you can skip this step. Otherwise, edit the [I].htaccess[/I] file in your forum root.

If you have not already enabled [I]mod_rewrite[/I] in the file, you can do so by adding the following line:
[code]RewriteEngine On[/code]
Add the following code:
[code]RewriteBase /forums/

RewriteRule ^FILE.php showwiki.php [L,QSA][/code]
Save the [I].htaccess[/I] file.

[H="3"]Step 2[/H]
Edit the [I].htaccess[/I] file in your document root.

If you have not already enabled [I]mod_rewrite[/I] in the file, you can do so by adding the following line:
[code]RewriteEngine On[/code]
Add the following code:
[code]RewriteBase /[/code]

Treat PATH as the directory path relative to your document root.
In the case: [url]http://www.example.com/forums/[/url]
PATH is 'forums', with no leading or trailing slash.

If the value of "Wiki PHP File" is not 'showwiki', add the following line:
[code]RewriteRule ^PATH/FILE.php(.*)?$ PATH/showwiki.php$1 [L,QSA][/code]

Add the following lines:
[code]RewriteRule ^PATH/showwiki.php?VAR=(.*)$ FILE/$1 [/L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^FILE/DEFAULT:(.*)$ FILE/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^FILE/(.*)?$ PATH/showwiki_proxy.php [L,QSA][/code]

Save your [I].htaccess[/I] file, and your wiki URLs should work smoothly.
