2. Wiki and Forum in Separate Folders

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 .htaccess files.

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

Step 1

If you the setting "Wiki PHP File" is set to 'showwiki', you can skip this step. Otherwise, edit the .htaccess file in your forum root.

If you have not already enabled mod_rewrite in the file, you can do so by adding the following line:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

Add the following code:

Code:

RewriteBase /forums/

RewriteRule ^FILE.php showwiki.php [L,QSA]

Save the .htaccess file.

Step 2

Edit the .htaccess file in your document root.

If you have not already enabled mod_rewrite in the file, you can do so by adding the following line:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

Add the following code:

Code:

RewriteBase /

Treat PATH as the directory path relative to your document root.
In the case: http://www.example.com/forums/
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]

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]

Save your .htaccess file, and your wiki URLs should work smoothly.
