Zend Framework in subdirectory - zend-framework

Question

I'm banging over the wall with this...
I need to establish a zend framework application inside a subdirectory.
i.e. the domain is tricell.ss and I want to use tricell.ss/tricell as application main directory.
Whate've done:
I've setted up in my config (application.ini) the:
resources.frontController.baseUrl = "/tricell"
I've made another var in my config
baseUrl = "/tricell"
In my Boostrap I've got this:
$router = new Zend_Controller_Router_Rewrite();
$frontController->setRouter($router);
$frontController->setBaseUrl($this->config->baseUrl);
$frontController->dispatch();
In my layout I'm trying to display image with using:
$this->baseUrl('/img/btn.png')
Here are my vhost configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/HTDOCS/tricell/tricell/public_html"
ServerName tricell.ss
RewriteRule ^$ [L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?tricell.ss$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ tricell [L]
</VirtualHost>
here is my .htaccess:
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
The problem is when I'm trying to display image nothing happens. When I'm trying to get the image by URL:
http://tricell.ss//tricell/img/btn.png
I'm getting info about wrong controller. How I can make this right? I can (without any problems) make configuration for root domain like tricell.ss and then get image i.e. tricell/ss/img/btn.png, but I want to work on subdirectory, and I can't do that with images. What I am doing wrong here?

Answer 1

I think the easiest thing you can do to get this working is this:
Start with a fresh ZF project, or remove all of your zend routes, and any special configuration in .htaccess or httpd.conf/httpd-vhosts.conf that you created.
Get rid of the baseUrl options you set up in your config file.
Place the index.php file and the .htaccess file in your /HTDOCS/tricell/tricell/public_html/tricell folder.
Place the rest of your project (controllers, models, config etc) outside of your web root. In this example I will assume they are placed in /HTDOCS/tricell/tricell/zfproject.
Edit index.php and change:
defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
|| define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../application'));
// to:
defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
|| define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../zfproject/application'));
Now your application will run with the base directory being yoursite.com/tricell
IndexController.php's URL is going to be http://yoursite.com/tricell/index
You do not need to do anything special to tell Zend your base URL is "tricell". Just make sure in your view scripts to use $this->baseUrl() for your paths so you don't need to worry about manually adding /tricell to the beginning of everything, and if you ever move your project to another directory/path, nothing needs to be changed to deal with the new paths.

I've just manage to resolve my issue... it's quite simple but I was very confused by all this rewriting rules.
As saying always tricell is confusing let's make some changes to that as well.
So to achive something like tricell.ss/sub I would need to:
Put my whole application inside /HTDOCS/tricell/tricell/sub
Change my vhost from this line: DocumentRoot "/HTDOCS/tricell/tricell/public_html" to: DocumentRoot "/HTDOCS/tricell/tricell/"
Insert yet another .htaccess in my /HTDOCS/tricell/tricell/sub directory:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} =""
RewriteRule ^.*$ /sub/ublic_html/index.php [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/sub/public_html/.$
RewriteRule ^(.)$ /sub/public_html/$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^public_html/.*$ /sub/public_html/index.php [NC,L]
This resolved my all issues.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/tour/"
RewriteRule (.*) /tour/index.php [L,END]
</IfModule>
The above code in the root folder domain.com/.htaccess worked for me. I placed it directly as the first thing in the htaccess before the "# BEGIN WordPress" parts.
having a Zend installation in the domain.com/tour/ subdirectory
wordpress running on the root domain.com/ level
The final knack was to have the RewriteRule point to the index.php of Zend if Request_URI matches /tour/
