Kickstart BASH Kickoff
Yesterday, I finished putting up the Kickstart BASH page. More information can be found here.
At the same time, I fixed some SSL issues I was having on my home-webserver. Apparently, ssl doesn’t play nice with Namebased Virtual Hosts – which gave me some issues getting the right certificate in place. It’s a self signed one so you might get a little warning about that. It’s not going to change any time soon (as long as I’m hosting the svn repo myself that is).
Planned for later this evening: Setting up http://kickstart.vstone.org/, which will host the actual script in action. I ran into some problems again here: since my webhosting puts subdomains in a subfolder in my htdocs root, I had to do some magic rewriting to forward only ‘kickstart.vstone.org’ to the proper location.
For those of you who care: the solution was to add a rule to my wordpress rewrite rules in the .htaccess file. I’ve added the condition to check whether or not the server was accessed by ‘www.vstone.org‘ or ‘kickstart.vstone.org‘.
.htaccess file
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^(http://|https://)(www.)?(vstone.org).*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^kickstart.vstone.org.*$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
