Hi everyone. Sorry if this is a repeat post. I’ve done a lot of research but I cannot find the solution.
The home page to my new portfolio website loads just fine however clicking on any pages attempts to load pages from the sub-domain that my web hosting service automatically creates when I add a domain to a specific directory on the server.
I’m trying to get all webpages for the site including panel access to load from the okiave.com domain. This seems like an .htaccess issue but I could be wrong.
I have a server running php 7.3 that seem to not be properly handling the .htaccess file.
Here’s what I’ve done:
• .htaccess exists with 755 permissions and proper subdirectory rewrite change
• all panel and necessary kirby folders are installed
• php can be verified at okiave.com/info.php
When looking at your environment variables, SERVER_NAME is exposed as “okiave.okiave.info”. I am not sure, but I doubt that this is correct. Moreover, when going straight to okiave.com, all URLs are prepended with “okiave.okiave.info”. However, when going to okiave.info, everything looks good, panel and links as well. Hence, I assume a misconfiguration of your webserver.
@Adspectus yes things are normal at okiave.info bc as a fall back I made a duplicate of the entire kirby site into the web root of the server. What I’m trying to do is figure out how to use kirby within my preferred subdirectory structure for use on future kirby installations. That prepended url you are seeing is the su domain my server provider automatically creates after I assign a domain to the server. I went through tech support with my server provider and was told that it was scripting issue related to .htaccess
@texnixe Below is the .htaccess for the preferred site location within /okiave instead of web root and yes server error shows if I add gibberish to .htaccess.
# Kirby .htaccess

# If your homepage is http://yourdomain.com/mysite

# except for the .well-known folder, which is used for Let's Encrypt and security.txt

# Enable authentication header

Setting the RewriteBase to a subfolder usually only makes sense if you don’t point a domain to it (i.e. if you want to call your site with https://yourdomain/subfolder, otherwise that line should either be commented out or set to /
Wow I feel silly. It was that simple all along. When I read the trouble shooting installation documentation I understood the opposite. Thank you for your help @texnixe
