General Support: .htaccess and Cruft-Free URLs doubles slashes

Can please some one take a look at my site and if at all explain why when I turn on Generate Cruft-Free URLs, i seem to get doubles slash before the actual url i.e www.whatever.com//the rest of the url in mod_rewrite.

looked in the Database for trailing slashed under the Path section, not a thing

heres the the .htaccess


# BEGIN Plogger
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.|/$)
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.planet-templates.com%{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.planet-templates.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [S=2]
RewriteRule feed/$ plog-rss.php?path=%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php?path=%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
</IfModule>
# END Plogger

here the URL

http://www.planet-templates.com

Cheers

Try this. Open plog-load-config.php and look for the following code starting on line 94:
// if mod_rewrite is on and we're not embedded, remove the file basename
if ($config['use_mod_rewrite'] == 1 && $config['embedded'] == 0) {
$config['baseurl'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/';
// otherwise just use our cleaned up version of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] from plog-globals.php
} else {
$config['baseurl'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
}
and replace it with this:
// if mod_rewrite is on and we're not embedded, remove the file basename
if ($config['use_mod_rewrite'] == 1 && $config['embedded'] == 0) {
$config['baseurl'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
// Verify URL for a trailing slash. If not, add one.
if ($config['baseurl']{strlen($config['baseurl'])-1} != '/') {
$config['baseurl'] = $config['baseurl'].'/';
}
// otherwise just use our cleaned up version of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] from plog-globals.php
} else {
$config['baseurl'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
}

What do you think is wrong with the 5th line? I don't have any errors when I test the code. Can you post an error message?

The site is actually working, but the URLS is like, for example
http://www.domain.com//plogger-test-collection/album-1/492744-original/

Yes.

I found out that the actual $config['baseurl'] is http://www.domain.com\ - not a slash, but a backslash in the end

I changed the

if ($config['baseurl']{strlen($config['baseurl'])-1} != '/')


to

if ($config['baseurl']{strlen($config['baseurl'])-1} != '\\')


and not I got rid of the double slash.

Do you think it is the best way to do it? Do you know where this backslash is added?

Yes, I run Windows server.

And No, that was the strangest thing. The URL looked like http://www.domain.com//collection-name/album-name/picture.jpg before the changes.

weird.

I'll do some more tests and see if there's an easy universal way to determine this for windows or linux. We're only running into issues here because dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) returns '/' or '\' instead of just being blank.
Let me know if you come across anything else in your testing as well.

p.s. what happens when you echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']'? Is there a backslash there?

that is odd, but correct per the PHP manual.

Here is a slightly longer code that should work:
$config['baseurl'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].str_replace('\\', '/', dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));
or maybe try this:
$config['baseurl'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].realpath(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));

heh, same thing as I have :D

Can you check the realpath() example?

Just FYI

realpath(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) gives just C:\
