.htaccess and sub-directories

I have a directory site that uses .htaccess and mod_rewrite to create SEF urls. Works great.

I've created a new sub-directory called /shopping

I'm putting a shopping/store app there that also uses .htaccess and mod_rewrite for it's own code.

The problem is, the root .htaccess seems to be taking priority over the .htaccess in the /shopping directory.

Is there any directive or command I can add to the .htaccess in /shopping to tell it not to use anything from the root .htaccess?

 

can't you put another .htaccess in that folder?

 

I have, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I know both work individually well. It's when I add the amazon shopping script I have to the shopping directory, the mod_rewrite seems to inherit from the root.

 

post the codes of both your .htaccess. Your rules might be similar overwriting each other. Otherwise, in all subcats, the .htaccess overwrites the parent.

 

Make sure you have the right .htacess in the folder and not just a copy of the main one

 

Thanks both for your willingness to help.

I think I've figured out the problem. In the sub directory "/shopping" .htaccess, I had:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteBase /

Code (markup):

I changed it to:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteBase /shopping/

Code (markup):

and now everything is working as it should be. Another day, another .htaccess mystery solved

Thanks again for your offers to help.

 

i had a similar problem with my directory and only .htaccess would work was if i create a sub-domain for it instead of a sub-dir
