When using RealUrl you will need a rewrite rule in .htaccess (or apache.conf) that rewrites the path to index.php. This will do that:
RewriteRule .* /index.php
However, Apache should not rewrite documents located in /typo3/, /uploads/, /fileadmin/ and /typo3conf/:
RewriteRule ^typo3/.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^uploads/.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^fileadmin/.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^typo3conf/.*$ - [L]
Also /typo3 (without trailing '/') should not be rewritten:
RewriteRule ^typo3$ - [L]
If you have a PDF-file that you want to give a nice URL (e.g. www.example.com/project-name/report.pdf) you would want to put it in /project-name/. Therefore files that do exist should not be rewritten either:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fIf you use a symlink to the file then this should not be rewritten either:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-lIf www.example.com/project-name is not a file then it should be considered as a directory so that a relative link to 'background' will be a link to www.example.com/project-name/background and not to www.example.com/background
To force this you simply append a '/' to the url if it is not a file:
RewriteRule (.*[^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [L,R]This works by redirecting the browser from www.example.com/project-name to www.example.com/project-name/
If in the directory project-name there is an index.html we should use that instead of Typo3:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html -f RewriteRule / %{REQUEST_URI}/index.html [L]The same goes for index.htm and index.php:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.htm -f RewriteRule / %{REQUEST_URI}/index.htm [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php -f RewriteRule / %{REQUEST_URI}/index.php [L] The resulting .htaccess looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^typo3$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^typo3/.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^uploads/.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^fileadmin/.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^typo3conf/.*$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteRule (.*[^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [L,R] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html -f RewriteRule / %{REQUEST_URI}/index.html [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.htm -f RewriteRule / %{REQUEST_URI}/index.htm [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php -f RewriteRule / %{REQUEST_URI}/index.php [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-lRewriteRule .* /index.php
Please note that the order is important. Changing the order will most likely give undesired results.
I now have a solution for htttpd.conf:
--------------
RewriteRule ^/(typo3|typo3temp|typo3conf|t3lib|tslib|fileadmin|uploads|showpic\.php)(/.*)?$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-lRewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /index.php [L,E=ORIG_SCRIPT_NAME:/index.php]
---------------
This sets the environment variable "ORIG_SCRIPT_NAME" to "/index.php" which Typo3 uses (if present) instead of "SCRIPT_NAME".
"SCRIPT_NAME" is only changed to this if you use .htaccess with RewriteBase, and it is not possible (as far as i know and tried) to change this from httpd.conf.
If your Typo3 is reachable e.g. at http://host/path-to-typo3/, [^] you would change the RewriteRule to:
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /index.php [L,E=ORIG_SCRIPT_NAME:/path-to-typo3/index.php]
