Miva Merchant and WordPress .htaccess conflict

[lesliekirk]

I'm having a devil of time trying to figure out why there is a conflict with the .htaccess file that generated by the admin SEO Settings and a WordPress blog located in it's own directory /blog

### Begin - Inserted by Miva Merchant

DirectoryIndex /Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^Merchant2/admin.mvc? - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/p/([^/.]+).html$ /Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Store_code=$1&Screen=PROD&Product_code=$2 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/c/([^/.]+).html$ /Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Store_code=$1&Screen=CTGY&Category_code=$2 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/p/([^/]+)/([^/.]+).html$ /Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Store_code=$1&Screen=PROD&Category_code=$2&Product_code=$3 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/.]+).html$ /Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Store_code=$1&Screen=$2 [L]

### End - Inserted by Miva Merchant

I can access the blog admin blog/wp-admin/ and have played around with the Permalink Settings but that doesn't seem to help any.

When I try to view the "Hello World" post at /blog/?p=1 I get the following message:

We're sorry but it appears that the "SFNT?p=1" page is not available at this time.

Thoughts?

Many thanks!
Leslie

Re: Miva Merchant and WordPress .htaccess conflict

Change this:

DirectoryIndex /Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT

to

DirectoryIndex index.php /Merchant2/merchant.mvc


And if you want to use permalinks, put this in a new .htaccess file in the blog directory:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Thanks David, I'll give that a whirl. I usually let WordPress create/write it's own .htaccess file, that way it winds up where it should be - unless I have WordPress in the root, then I've got to be a bit more hands-on.

Was there an earthquake in Calif this morning? Why is David up answering questions on the forum at 5:48AM (Calif time)?

David's back in FL, so the earth opened up and swallowed him and he woke up in Tampa (or he took a plane, I'm not sure which).

Re: Miva Merchant and WordPress .htaccess conflict

Why don't all you folks move to Florida? Lower taxes (no state income tax), less traffic, lower cost of living, pretty good weather (except for an occasional hurricane), no earthquakes, Disney World (4 parks instead of 2), really nice reef diving, cooler cars, and the list goes on. :-)

Rick would have to buy everyone a gun<g>.

Re: Miva Merchant and WordPress .htaccess conflict

What, they don't already have one?

[Rick Wilson]

Re: Miva Merchant and WordPress .htaccess conflict

How did this spin off so drastically? Also based on how much cheaper it is to live in FL (compared to SD) everyone could afford two guns

LOL - cuz the moderator let it? Heehehehehe, I agree with Bill

[Rick Wilson]

Re: Miva Merchant and WordPress .htaccess conflict

This is the only part of Bill's assessment I disagree with or at least don't understand:

cooler cars

You guys have different cars in Florida?

1) It is Friday the 13th so a little levity is needed, otherwise anxiety may take over.

2) I have two guns, and coincidentally the locksmith was here today to repair my gun safe. No telling what could have happened had the drug gangs attacked my house and I couldn't get the safe opened in time. Considering it is Friday the 13th I was pressed to get that fixed. The funny part of this was it has been trying to break for six months and Monday a Miva Merchant store owner emailed me about the sort shipping module (circa 2006) in his store and wanted to know if it would work with the latest MM version. Turned out the store he works for is the same one I bought the safe from about 12 years ago. Our favorite shopping cart, Miva Merchant, is everywhere.

Re: Miva Merchant and WordPress .htaccess conflict

When I go to Calif I rarely see cool cars cruisin' the streets. A couple months ago a friend of mine from England was visiting me here and in one day we saw more Bentley convertibles cruisin' the streets than he had ever seen. SL500, Jag, Maserati, and Porsche are as common as Corvettes. Street rods and muscle cars are common too.

Plus we have all those cool license plates to go on the cool cars, e.g. http://www.flhsmv.gov/dmv/specialtyt...lessSummer.jpg

Oh, well, we're way off subject now so that's all folks. Leslie will be kicking me off soon.
