Hi there,

This is separate to my other support request for a 6.x installation.

I have installed Boost on a Drupal 5.x site and caching seems to be working. The module is storing static HTML files in the cache directory and creating two sub-directories under this "0" and mydomainname.com. Not sure if it should be creating two directories or not?

However, when I log out and browse around the site, the site is not serving me the cached static HTML pages. I have replaced the original .htaccess with the modified boost .htaccess file. I noticed that my root directory (/webspace) outside of my domain directory (/webspace/httpdocs/mydomain.com) also has a .htaccess file which I can not access or alter as I am on a shared server, not sure if this could be affecting my domains individual .htaccess?

Any ideas or suggestions.

Thanks,
Matthew

FYI: #454652: Looking for a co-maintainer - 5.x

it depends on whats in that .htaccess file. Is it drupal specific?

I wish I knew...no I think this is .htaccess file is placed there by the hosting company. I can not access the file no matter how I try. My Drupal specific .htaccess (now Boost/Drupal specific) is within my subdomain folder where my Drupal files are stored, I was hoping that this would override anything else.

Is druapl installed in a subdir like http://example.com/drupal? if so then it probably won't work with 5.x.

No Drupal is stored in my main subdomain folder so the main site is http://www.example.com and I am developing the new site as a subdomain http://newsite.example.com. The Drupal files are stored directly in the subdomain folder.

6.x is fully mult-domain supported, 5.x not so sure. Try the other htaccess file, it might make it work.

The 6.x version of .htaccess is considerably different and does not work. I have tried modifying it without success.

I will continue trying to modify the 5.x .htaccess file to get my cached pages served:)
