Convert httpd.ini

Store Builder Questions
1

Hi,



I moved my CS-Cart installation (2.0.11) from a dedicated server to a shared hosting. The transfer process went relatively fine, except for the httpd.ini which I am not sure how to convert. Can I simply take the directives in httpd.ini and insert them in .htaccess ? I tried but it didn’t work.



I guess that was the content of httpd.ini that made the /admin transfer to admin.php



Here’s the content of my httpd.ini file (which cannot work in shared hosting environment):



[ISAPI_Rewrite]



RewriteRule /catalog/(.)? /catalog/$1 [L]

RewriteRule /addons/(.) /addons/$1 [L]

RewriteRule /lib/(.) /lib/$1 [L]

RewriteRule /js/(.) /js/$1 [L]

RewriteRule /skins/(.) /skins/$1 [L]

RewriteRule /install/(.) /install/$1 [L]

RewriteRule /payments/(.) /payments/$1 [L]

RewriteRule /images/(.) /images/$1 [L]

RewriteRule /index.php(.) /index.php$1 [L]

RewriteRule /admin.php(.) /admin.php$1 [L]

RewriteRule (.?)(?(.))? /index.php?sef_rewrite=1&$3 [L]





Here’s the content of my .htaccess file:



DirectoryIndex index.html index.php





RewriteEngine on

Some hostings require RewriteBase to be uncommented

Example:

Your store url is [url]http://www.yourcompany.com/store/cart[/url]

So “RewriteBase” should be:

RewriteBase /store/cart

RewriteBase /store

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . index.php?sef_rewrite=1 [L,QSA]



RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ./catalog/.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f

RewriteRule . index.php?sef_rewrite=1 [L,QSA]









So how do I make this work again?

Those are separate files with their own specific code.



Taking a guess, I am going to say that your root directory has changed therefore you need to edit this line:


RewriteBase [COLOR="Red"]/store[/COLOR]

The site is working.



Except for the /store/admin/ which does not redirect to admin.php which, I guess, was controlled by one of the rules in httpd.ini (I can guess which one, but it’s not working as is in .htaccess).

Your httpd.ini file is incomplete. Try this:


```php [ISAPI_Rewrite]


Some hostings require UriMatchPrefix and UriFormatPrefix to be uncommented

Example:

Your store url is http://www.yourcompany.com/store/cart

So UriMatchPrefix and UriFormatPrefix should be:

UriMatchPrefix /store

UriFormatPrefix /store


[COLOR="Red"]UriMatchPrefix /store
UriFormatPrefix /store[/COLOR]

RewriteRule /catalog/(.*)? /catalog/$1 [L]
RewriteRule /addons/(.*) /addons/$1 [L]
RewriteRule /lib/(.*) /lib/$1 [L]
RewriteRule /js/(.*) /js/$1 [L]
RewriteRule /skins/(.*) /skins/$1 [L]
RewriteRule /install/(.*) /install/$1 [L]
RewriteRule /payments/(.*) /payments/$1 [L]
RewriteRule /images/(.*) /images/$1 [L]
RewriteRule /index\.php(.*) /index.php$1 [L]
RewriteRule /admin\.php(.*) /admin.php$1 [L]
RewriteRule (.*?)(\?(.*))? /index.php?sef_rewrite=1&$3 [L] ```

Hey! I can’t use httpd.ini on my shared hosting.

ISAPI_Rewrite is for windows based servers so that must be what you moved from

7

I moved from Ubuntu to another Linux shared hosting.



How do I convert what was in httpd.ini since I cannot use httpd.ini on my shared hosting?

8

You don’t convert it.



If you could post more details or even better, error logs, then we might be able to help.

I noticed that /store/admin did not redirected anymore to admin.php.

I guess that’s the httpd.ini that took care of that.



I am just wondering how to make it work again on my new web hosting without httpd.ini…
