billyj I have long been waiting for the URL rewriting on the Abyss webserver. Once I had v2.4 installed I immediately checked the URL rewriting for WordPress so that I can use the clean URL's instead of still having the index.php in the URL. It was easy to change and works beautifully! here is what you have to put into the rewriting rule: Virtual Path Regular Expression: . (yes, just a dot) you will need two Conditions: REQUEST_FILENAME Is Not File REQUEST_FILENAME Is Not Directory and finally Redirect to: /index.php Hope this will be of help to somebody, Enjoy
seph So far this has worked for me. Since I'm a noob and I like thorough directions, I am adding more details to these steps for other people to include all options on URL Rewrite Rule page. At the time of this post, I am using Abyss Web Server X2 v2.8 and WordPress v3.5.1 1. Click "Configure" button for WordPress site in Abyss 2. Click "URL Rewriting" option 3. Click "Add" button to add new rule Options & Settings for New Rule - Enable Rule: Checked Virtual Path Regular Expression: . (use period or dot) Case Sensitive: Unchecked Click Add button for Conditions and "OK" button to add each condition Condition 1 = Variable: REQUEST_FILENAME, Operator: Is not a file Condition 2 = Variable: REQUEST_FILENAME, Operator: Is not a directory Apply to subrequests too: Checked If this rule matches: Perform an internal redirection Redirect to: /index.php Append Query String: Unchecked Escape Redirection Location: Unchecked Next Action: Continue with the next rule Click "OK" button and "Restart" Abyss server Please update these steps in the future if needed. Good luck!
Lawrence Forgive me for resurrecting this thread... This rule breaks images with spaces in the URLs. With it enabled, I get a 404 for image%202.jpg, but image_2.jpg works fine. Disable the rule and both URLs function as expected. Actually, this doesn't work for any content not running through Wordpress either, so links to other parts of the site outside the Wordpress system are also 404.
lpele Hi Lawrence, Did you try to add some conditions like REQUEST_FILENAME doesn't match with (.*).jpg because article name often doesn't finish with such extension
