404 not found errors when using Modx CMS in a subfolder
404 not found errors when using Modx CMS in a subfolder -
Solution :
Additionally, if you would like to do some further testing, give the htaccess tester tool a try. It allows you to specify a certain URL as well as the rules you would like to include and then shows which rules were tested, which ones met the criteria, and which ones were executed.
.htaccess files are extremely useful in many cases for users who either do not have root permissions or for users who simply aren't comfortable in making changes in their web server's configuration file. Trying to debug .htaccess not working isn't always the easiest thing to do, however, hopefully by checking the discuss below mentioned about seo, htaccess, apache, modx, .htaccess common problems as well as the troubleshooting tips, you'll have a better grasp on what you may have to modify to get your .htaccess file running smoothly.Problem :I have installed Modx CMS on my hosting provider, but instead of installing it on my root directory where it usually goes, I put it in a folder on the root directory called makeabio.
directory loads fine but when I click on a link in my page it would take me to the index.php file located outside the folder in the main directory. I believe it has something to do with the .htaccess file. I provided it below.
# MODX supports Friendly URLs via this .htaccess file. You must serve web
# pages via Apache with mod_rewrite to use this functionality, and you must
# change the file name from ht.access to .htaccess.
#
# Make sure RewriteBase points to the directory where you installed MODX.
# E.g., "/modx" if your installation is in a "modx" subdirectory.
#
# You may choose to make your URLs non-case-sensitive by adding a NC directive
# to your rule: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

I want that when I click on a link, it goes to the makeabio directory and not to the root directory.
Hey guys I finally figured it out, some how the code that works to do this in Modx CMS is below! This code shows you how to install it in a folder on your server.
It tells the htaccess file to read the .html extension and loads up the page without a problem.
#works, so happy!!

# Make sure RewriteBase points to the directory where you installed MODX.

RewriteBase /
As stated in the comments at the top of the file, RewriteBase should be set to your subdirectory:
RewriteBase /makeabio
This affects the relative path substitution later in the file (half way down):
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
However, the directives at the top of the file seem to conflict with this? Are these part of the standard setup?
RewriteCond %REQUEST_FILENAME !-f
RewriteRule ^(?!makeabio/)(.+)$ /index.php?u=$1 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteCond %REQUEST_FILENAME !-f
RewriteRule ^makeabio/(.+)$ /makeabio/index.php?u=$1 [NC,QSA,L]
