Htaccess problems at ~user path

[korex]

Hi,

I would like to reach my website like this: http://domain.com/~user. This works fine, but my our own CMS's url interpreter redirects the page to index.php and the url is processed by the index.php.
The redirection code form the CMS's htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

The CMS's url structure works like this:
http://domain.hu/contact/ <- this is the contact page

The problem comes form this structure, because an 'index.html' is put to the end of the url (http://domain.hu/contact/index.html), which file doesn't exists (and I recieve a redirection error screen).
I couldn't find the redirection, which put's the 'index.html' after the url (httpd.cong negativ, htaccess files negativ). I tried to play with the CMS htaccess file (redirect the url with index.html to non-index.html), but I didn't manage to solve the problem

I'm out of ideas, neither the system administrator could help me.

Thank you!

The easy fix for this is to modify your local computer hosts file to point to the new server IP.

I moved this thread to a more appropriate category since it does not directly address cPanel-related development issues.

It seems to me you'd have to get the domain working properly to use shortened URLs as it appears your CMS wants to do, or disable those rules in your CMS htaccess for it, so that your site works as expected.

I'd be curious if your index.php is using a location header.

Hypothesis:
index.php will retrieve the REQUEST_URI from $_SERVER super global (PHP: $_SERVER - Manual). Then the CMS uses it's own URI parser to determine what page needs to be served, and if necessary, will build the 'proper' URL and push headers with a defined "Location", (PHP: header - Manual)

If this is true, you could simply modify the CMS's URI parser and make it bend to your will

Hi,

I finally solved the problem with the modification of the php interpreter (and changing the links on the site). I wanted to avoid this, because I thought maybe there's a simple solution/settings for this.

Thanks for the replies, and sorry for putting this post at the wrong forum.
