Se vogliamo installare magento in un sottodirettorio (e.g. /magento/) invece che nella root del nostro web server allora per far sì che il tutto funzioni occorre:
1. Avere un hosting Linux (per installare Magento ovviamente)
2. Cambiare dal pannello di configurazione dell’host il tipo di php.ini file in cgi.fix_pathinfo che attiva la modalità cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1
3. Attivare l’url rewrite nel vostro .htaccess
# Setting rewrite rules. <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on
