Another domain

If I get a domain for simply the wiki and the wiki only, how would I configure it?

If I were to tell it to "host at" originalsite.com/wiki it would not accept it because /wiki isn't technically a folder directory.
If I were to frame forward it, links would still be under originalsite.com
If I were to frame forward and change the base URL in the VW CP to newsite.com, images would not show up any longer. And some links, such as the subnavbar would still have newsite.com

Long story short, I'm trying to figure out a way to make:
originalsite.com/wiki to newsite.com

This should be possible with the current settings, so long as you already have a vBulletin plugin installed that manages your logins across domains.

If your domain is parked in a new directory, upload the contents of the do_not_upload folder in the VaultWiki ZIP into that folder. Configure your paths in vw_config.php to point to the original vBulletin installation.

Set the Wiki Base URL to your desired domain.
Set the Wiki File Name to a blank value.
Set the URL format to one of the nice looking ones.

Make sure your .htaccess is setup to forward ONLY unknown requests at your new domain to wiki_index.php. If it is not a subdomain of your forum domain, you will probably need a correctly setup crossdomain.xml in the root for both domains to tell browsers the domains are allowed to communicate with each other.

Keep us informed of your progress with this. There may be some bugs with Javascript functions across domains.

Currently I am using Cerberus to handle logins
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=254197

I have my domain parked under a different folder (originalsite.com contents (all of the forum) located in /httpdocs/ while newsite.com on /wiki/)
But I do not see a vw_config.php in the do_not_upload folder

Fixed the ZIP. The files should be there now. You don't have to upload the /vault folder.

Not entirely sure if I am parking my domain in the correct place.
Technically my full path to my domain is
/var/www/vhosts/originalsite.com/httpdocs
That is what I put for both settings in vw_config.php

and I have my new domain at
/var/www/vhosts/originalsite.com/wiki

as opposed to
/var/www/vhosts/newsite.com/httpdocs

I set my .htaccess as so for my new domain:

Code:

---

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* wiki_index.php [L,NC]

---

That looks correct. What happens when you try to visit the new domain?

I get a blank page.

EDIT: Actually nevermind.

It looks like I don't have a vBulletin plugin that can handle logins across domains. The one I mentioned does not do what I needed it to do.
Help?

My understanding of Cerberus was that it indeed handled cross-domain logins. However, it looks like you will need a proxy misc.php script, which you might not have there. You should be able to create one in the same fashion as the other PHP files on the wiki domain. Just change the filename to misc.php and edit the file contents to point to misc.php as well.

Since you need to support logins on a completely different domain (not a sub-domain), you may need to upload most of the vBulletin files needed for sub-domain setups (this would include proxies for login.php, misc.php, etc). If I remember correctly, these files are included in the vBulletin ZIP somewhere. VaultWiki only provides proxies for files that it uses.

To be clear, the file name for vw_index.php to misc.php correct?

You can do that, but it's probably best if you get the proxy files that vBulletin provides for subdomains.

Where would I find this?
The vBulletin package has a do_not_upload folder but I'm not sure which files are needed.

I have not tried it in a while, but I believe the setup is similar to VaultWiki.

I think you just need login.php to get your logins working, plus whatever config file it uses. If VaultWiki didn't come with a misc.php proxy, upload vBulletin's misc.php proxy.

vBulletin's do_not_upload folder does not contain a login.php. Or do you mean to say the standard login.php for the forum?

I'm afraid I don't have any other ideas right now. I would recommend talking to the vB Cerberus person, since you need that mod setup correctly, and they would be more knowledgeable about proper setup than myself, who has never used vB Cerberus.

I am able to login the wiki with a second domain.
The only issue that stands now is having the domain cooperate with VaultWiki's SEO URL format. As it stands, I cannot have it cope unless it's the very first URL format and having it as the first is not very ideal for me.

Here is my .htaccess settings

Code:

---


Options -Indexes

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin: "*"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers: "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept"


RewriteEngine On


RewriteBase /


RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap|api\.php|wiki)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images|wiki)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^main\.com$
RewriteRule ^forum.php$ forum.php [R]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^second\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^wiki/(.*)$ wiki_index.php [L,QSA]

Any tips on how to do it?

See your new .htaccess file.

Ah! Thanks so much. Would it be possible to have it as the 2nd URL format?

Sure, you should just be able to switch the format between #2 and #3. There wouldn't be a change to the .htaccess for that. If you have an issue with stale URLs from the previous format after the switch, you can run Counters > Rebuild URLs.

Ah, that did it, thanks.

EDIT: Looks like any non-existing [wiki] tagged article leads to a 'The page you are looking for cannot be found.' page, and not the usual Vaultwiki interface for it.

Ah, also seems like Islands are inaccessible.
