Problem with two installations of Modx on the site

I had 963 in the webroot and installed Evo 1.0.0 in a subdirectory. Each installation has its own database. I am experiencing problems with friendly URLs in the Evo installation. For example when I try to access the login page by .../subdir/Login.html, a 404 error is generated and is captured by the 963 installation. But when I access the same page with .../subdir/index.php?id=6 it works fine.

Is there a way to fix this problem? I appreciate your help.

Hi OldGuru,
in your .htaccess try adding "subdir" to the rewrite base

+ clear the MODx cache

A couple of alternatives, if you’re going to use just one .htaccess file in the web root to do rewriting for both sites, would be one of the following modifications:



, or to be more compact (with the caveat that I haven’t tried this rule so it might be a bit off)

Thanks sharkbait and netprophet. I’m gonna try your modifications and let you know how it goes.

# For Friendly URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^subdir\/(.*)$ subdir/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
...

I tried the above and both installations work like a charm.

Thanks again guys!

Apart from solving the friendly URL problem it also makes sure the proper installation handles the 404 error.
