Problems . htacess

Question

I built a site in Joomla and we are deploying in the client server (UOL HOST) but I ran into a problem.

The old site was inside the ftp folder: dominio.com.br/web

We put the files in another folder and upload the new content to that folder. When accessing everything was ok, but with a problem: On the URL of the site began to show these ftp directories in the link:

www.dominio.com.br/var/www/dominio.com.br/web

In Joomla we have the option to enable the mod_rewrite of the server so that the url is friendly. So this URL would be hidden.

It turns out that inside the server it didn’t happen.

Inside the folder of the site, we send a file . htaccess that we use on other clients and just change the url, but nothing happened either.

If in Joomla I disable the mod_rewrite option, all this folder directory goes missing, but there is that famous "index.php" replacing in place and the other urls are "dirty", so I can’t leave it like this.

We wanted to keep the URL schema friendly, but with this ftp link hidden in the URL.

I tried to play the site in the root folder (outside of this domain.com.br/web) and it’s the same thing, it adds the "var/www/" in the URL.

I also tried to log into UOL Host to see if there was any way to disable or change this root FTP folder, but to no avail.

Does anyone have any idea what it might be?

I don’t have much knowledge of server configuration, but I followed the pattern of others we did and I didn’t have this problem. Being UOL Host and different from the others we host, I believe it is something in the hosting.

Just for knowledge, I’m putting down as mine . htaccess

## Mod_rewrite in use.

RewriteEngine On

## Begin - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits.
# If you experience problems on your site block out the operations listed below
# This attempts to block the most common type of exploit `attempts` to Joomla!
#
# Block out any script trying to base64_encode data within the URL.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode[^(]*\([^)]*\) [OR]
# Block out any script that includes a <script> tag in URL.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (<|%3C)([^s]*s)+cript.*(>|%3E) [NC,OR]
# Block out any script trying to set a PHP GLOBALS variable via URL.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]
# Block out any script trying to modify a _REQUEST variable via URL.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
# Return 403 Forbidden header and show the content of the root homepage
RewriteRule .* index.php [F]
#
## End - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits.

## Begin - Custom redirects
#
# If you need to redirect some pages, or set a canonical non-www to
# www redirect (or vice versa), place that code here. Ensure those
# redirects use the correct RewriteRule syntax and the [R=301,L] flags.
#
## End - Custom redirects

##
# Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL
# is not directly related to physical file paths.
# Update Your Joomla! Directory (just / for root).
##

# RewriteBase /

## Begin - Joomla! core SEF Section.
#
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
#
# If the requested path and file is not /index.php and the request
# has not already been internally rewritten to the index.php script
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php
# and the requested path and file doesn't directly match a physical file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# and the requested path and file doesn't directly match a physical folder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# internally rewrite the request to the index.php script
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

## End - Joomla! core SEF Section.

I managed to solve the problem. For people who in the future have this problem with UOL Host, just get the file. htaccess Joomla standard and take out the "#" that comments on the line "Rewritebase /".

If the site is installed in a subfolder, it would look like this:

"Rewritebase /site directory"
