Problem setting up mod_rewrite/permalinks

[lapidus]

Hi,
I am having trouble configuring "pretty URLs" with WordPress skeleton. Any advice would be much appreciated.

This is the link I am trying to access:
http://projects/WordPress-Skeleton/wp/hello-world/

I am a bit confused, shouldn't it really be without the "wp" part?
http://projects/WordPress-Skeleton/hello-world/

Database:

• Where should HOME and SITE_URL point?

.htaccess:

• Should there be 1 in the Skeleton folder and 1 in the WP folder?
• What should it/they contain?

wp-config.php / local-config:

• Anything I need to modify here?

home url should point to /
site url should point to /wp/

The simplest is to add two defines in your local config.

Ideally, you'd also play around with other urls, cookies and such.

define('WP_HOME', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/');
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/wp');
define('WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/content');

#define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'users');
#define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'usermeta');

define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', '/path/to/content');

define('COOKIEHASH', 'defaults_to_md5_site_url');
define('USER_COOKIE', 'wpuser_' . COOKIEHASH);
define('PASS_COOKIE', 'wppass_' . COOKIEHASH);
define('AUTH_COOKIE', 'wp_' . COOKIEHASH);
define('SECURE_AUTH_COOKIE', 'wp_sec_' . COOKIEHASH);
define('LOGGED_IN_COOKIE', 'wp_logged_in_' . COOKIEHASH);
define('TEST_COOKIE', 'wp_test_cookie');
define('COOKIEPATH', '/');
define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/wp');
#define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/wp'); # /wp/wp-admin used to result in problems; maybe they're fixed
define('PLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH', '/content/plugins');
