Subdirectories not resolving when XC5 is installed on the root

My XC5 installation is on the root of our site i.e. - installed at '/'. We also have a WordPress blog installed at '/blog/'. We also have a Live Chat software installed at '/live/'. The blog & live directory were working properly with XC4, but when we moved and upgraded to XC5 on the root, we're getting Forbidden errors and sometimes the x-cart 404 page is served. How can I get the /blog/ and /live/ directories to resolve properly? Permissions / Ownership have not been changed for any of those files. We are using clean URLs in x-cart.

Here is the /blog/ error.

Code:

Forbidden



You don't have permission to access /blog/ on this server.



Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

When I visit oursite.com/live the URL is redirected to oursite.com/live/?url=live&last=&rest=&ext=. The page I see there is the x-cart 404 page.

Any thoughts?

It works properly on my fresh installation of 5.1.11.
Could you please let me know the content of your .htaccess file from X-Cart's root?

Sorry for the delay Tony, but this is still a problem we're running into. Here is the HTACCESS file from the root.

ant99,
There is another forum thread for this somewhere. But look here near the bottom of the page for an explanation: http://xcartguru.com/knowledge-base/x-cart-5-kb/

Re: Subdirectories not resolving when XC5 is installed on the root

Hi Mike,

That worked out perfectly, and solved the problem. Very simple fix. Thank you guru! :)

Hi, I'm having this exact problem, but the link above with a solution no longer works.

X-cart is installed in the root, /blog gives me a 404 error.

All help appreciated :)

My htaccess looks like this:

Code:

# Clean URLs [[[

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews -Indexes

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

        RewriteEngine On

        RewriteBase /

            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(payment|admin|provider|partner)/

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|js|css|swf|php|ico)$

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatcher.php [L]

</IfModule>

# /Clean URLs ]]]

Your signature states that you use X-Cart 4, not X-Cart 5 being discussed in this forum thread.
What X-Cart version you need a solution for?

Re: Subdirectories not resolving when XC5 is installed on the root

Hi, apologies I hadn't updated my signature.

I'm using version 5.

Re: Subdirectories not resolving when XC5 is installed on the root

.htaccess in my local X-Cart 5.3.4.1 installation is different.

Or is it the Wordpress' .htaccess file from /blog directory? If so, you should tweak the .htaccess in the web root directory and make it not redirect URLs starting with /blog to the X-Cart script.
