Magento

I found out that it adds the admin “folder” when it shouldn’t.  When you access the Magento Connect Manager it should go to http://www.url.com/downloader...., but instead it displays http://www.url.com/admin/downloader.  So if I just removed the “admin” I can access it just fine.  I’m using a custom “admin” folder (so it’s actually not admin, but a custom name I gave it) so I don’t know if that has anything to do with it?

Either way, it’s easy to get around.  I’m just so thrilled that this extension solved the issue on my site.  What a huge relief.  Thanks!

From that it sounds as if you set a ‘Custom admin URL’ in System > Configuration > Admin. Which would have the same problematic effect without any added extensions.

The generally accepted way of changing the “admin” path is instead by editing “frontName” in the file /app/etc/local.xml (you might want to disable the cache first).

Yup, that did it.  Thanks a bunch!

I had to change the regex to RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)index.php/admin.*$

Anyhow,thanks a lot.

Hi Rod_C,

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

## enable rewrites
   Options +FollowSymLinks
   RewriteEngine on

## Rewrite to subfolder magento
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydomain.cxm$

   RewriteRule ^(/)?$ magento/ [L]

## All other rewrite rules apply to magento folder
   RewriteBase /magento/

## workaround for HTTP authorization in CGI environment
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

## always send 404 on missing files in these folders
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(media|skin|js)/

## never rewrite for existing files, directories and links
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

## never rewrite for URI beginning with admin
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin.*

## rewrite everything else to index.php
    RewriteRule .* index.php

This worked perfectly.. Thanks a lot

Hi,

If you want to access your magento URL without index.php

for example:

http://domain.com/index.php/category to http://domain.com/category

Then follow the steps--

1) Login to admin section by using the URL
http://domain.com/index.php/admin
2) then go to “System >> Configuration >>Web >> Search Engines Optimization”
Use Web Server Rewrites : YES
3) Go to “System >> Configuration >>Web >>Secure”
Use secure URL Frontend: YES
4)Then create the .htaccess file under your the magento installed folder.

If the magento installed under document root ( /home/username/public_html) then add follogig rules into .htaccess file

and If the magento installed under /shop or directory then add the following rules into ” /home/username/public_html/shop/.htaccess ” file.

Done If you need any kind of help you can contact us as we are one of best Magento extensions developer.
