But what happens when you are on a shared hosting environment? (I am trying for the past two days to write a full tutorial on how to install and setup web2py on shared hosting accounts. IF I ever gather all the info, you’ll get a HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks-and a link of course).

Thanks again for all the help (I can’t believe it’s THAT difficult to run web2py on shared account)

look at the previous post http://jdoe.asidev.com/2009/02/26/configure-web2py-to-run-behind-apache-with-wsgi-mod_wsgi/
You need a WSGIScriptAlias or ScriptAlias for this to work

So, what has to be added to your code to make it ok? I don’t think removing [PT] solves the problem

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.primo.it [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =primo.it [NC]
RewriteRule /primo/(.*) /$1 [N]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.primo.it [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =primo.it [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /primo/$1 [PT,L]

sorry, I didn’t notice the space between flags

looking at your .htaccess you are using PT flag but you don’t have a Alias/ScriptAlias/WSGIScriptAlias so, yes, I think it’s ignoring the rewrite rule
Look here for more info on PT flag: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule

After a lot of fiddling around and posting around the internet:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1454384/htaccess-transparently-adding-a-name-to-the-request
http://serverfault.com/questions/67615/htaccess-transparently-adding-a-name-to-the-request

I think that the problem is the added space between parameters (like [NC, OR]).
Now, it doesn’t throw an error but when I am hitting the domain, it redirects to http://mydomain.com/welcome/default/index (is it ignoring it?)

Thanks a lot for your help. I am writing it on linux. I am googling and I’ve even added a question at stackoverflow and serverfault.com. It’s definitely something wrong with my spaces
Thank again!

could be that you have a non-unix line feed. If the server is linux and you use windows please use a text-editor that permit you to set the line feeds type.
Or could be a space left in the rewrite cond.
Sorry, just guessing here… try google for the error and see what happens.

RewriteRule ^dispatch\.fcgi/ – [L]
seems to work
but I get ‘RewriteCond: bad flag delimiters’ from the RewriteCond
