How to Handle Subdirectories?

[Mark Stephens]

New issue came up today as we moved our site from MMUI to CSSUI. For the longest time we used a static "home page" in our root directory instead of the Miva SFNT page.

Until now.

But it seems that the htaccess line for DirectoryIndex mm5/merchant.mvc creates a conflict with certain portions of our website that reside in a subdirectory of our root.

The main issue is our company blog that is typically found at /blog. But I think the htaccess line above is causing that to not be accessible.

Anyway, are there any tips for how I should handle this? I would like to use the Miva SFNT page as our home, but I also need to get that blog accessible.

Thanks,
Mark

Try:

DirectoryIndex index.php mm5/merchant.mvc

It will look for index.php first, then use the store if not found. The blog directory will typically then also have a htaccess that rewrites all requests back to index.php if they aren't for a real file.
