Virtualhost Setup?

[[subc]]

Well, after spending many hours coding every one of my html pages (with some help from creating templates), I got tired of being unable to add content to my website unless it was from my home computer... so I decided to install 'eZ Publish 3' (a CMS - content managment system written in php and using mysql database).

 

I have not done it yet, because I have a couple of questions.

The installation docs refer to using a virtualhost setup "...when using

a virtualhost you don't need to specify the index.php in the url..."

 

and then is says how to do it (assuming that i have apache web server installed on my own system:

 

<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1>

<Directory <httproot>/ezpublish-xxx/>

Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI

AllowOverride None

</Directory>

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule !\.(gif|css|jpg|png)$ <httproot>/ezpublish-xxx/index.php

 

ServerAdmin root@localhost

DocumentRoot <httproot>/ezpublish-xxx/

ServerName 10.0.0.1

</VirtualHost>

 

Of course, I assume I can't do this on my account, so I thought that there was an option on the cpanel to allow me to do such a thing... however, I dont see it..

Is it possible at all?

 

I looked on the 'site managment' section, 'redirects' and 'index manager' but I dont believe those are the options I need.

 

thanks in advance.

You do not have to do anything to use index.php

that is one of the default names that will be displayed

by just using www.mysite.com/

I dont think it works...

 

just see for yourself:

 

http://videoproduccion.org/cms/

 

http://videoproduccion.org/cms/index.php

 

any suggestions?

What have you got in your .htaccess file at the moment, you certainly have some effects on the directory. Try removing them, then try again.

thanks for the tip.

maybe I should look for something easier for me to understand (as far as a content management system)
