Package: wordpress
Version: 5.5.1+dfsg1-1
Severity: normal
Debian wordpress allows for multiple instances of wordpress to be served
from the same box by using config fragments in /etc/wordpress/config-<site>.php
However, /usr/share/wordpress/.htaccess is not fragmented. This is
a problem because permalinks, when enabled places the prefix base into
the htaccess file. So the htaccess file for http://blog.example.com/
is
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
But the htaccess for http://www.example.com/my/site is
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /my/site
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /my/site/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Which are completely incompatible, only one or other can work.
There is actually a compatible .htaccess way of doing this, which is
to eliminate the absolute path and use the ability of apache 2.4.16+
to use Alias relative htaccss rewrites, so the .htaccess file
supporting both URLs becomes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
This still has the bug that all sites or none must use permalinks, but
at least it allows multiple sites with different prefix directories.
