Configure tmux to use zsh

Question

I have in my .htaccess file the following code:

RewriteRule ^(en|af|fr)/(.*)$ - [co=lang:$1:mysite.info:7200:/] #drop/update cookie with lang
RewriteRule ^(en|af|fr)$ - [co=lang:$1:mysite.info:7200:/] #drop/update cookie with lang
RewriteRule ^(en|af|fr)$    / [R,NC]
RewriteRule ^(en|af|fr)/(.*)$ /$2 [R,NC]

In my php I have this for selecting the language:

<?php echo $_COOKIE['lang']; ?>
<ul>
    <li><a href="/en<? echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];?>">en-ZA</a></li>
    <li><a href="/fr<? echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];?>">fr-MU</a></li>
    <li><a href="/af<? echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];?>">af-ZA</a></li>
</ul>

It semi-works, but it's not consistent. While I'm switching between languages it simply stops working, and then starts again if I keep clicking on the different languages.

SECOND PART of question:

How to reduce these lines:

RewriteCond %{http_host} ^www.mysite.info [nc] #if url starts with www.mysite.info
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mysite.info/$1 [r,nc] #rewrite without the www

RewriteCond %{http_host} ^www.(.*).mysite.info [nc] #if url starts with www.(aff).mysite.info
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1.mysite.info/$1 [r,nc] #rewrite without the www

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.  [NC]
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^(.*)\.mysite.info [nc] #if subdomain is aff
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [co=aff:%1:mysite.info:7200:/] #drop/update cookie with aff

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.  [NC]
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^(.*)\.mysite.info [nc] #if subdomain is aff
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mysite.info/$1 [nc,R] #rewrite without subdomain

Appreciate the help, anubhava!

Solution 1

You need to set default-command:

set -g default-command /usr/local/bin/zsh

default-shell variable only use to create a login shell, when default-command is empty - which is default value.

Or you can simply change your default shell to zsh, in this case, tmux will start a login shell, instead of non-login shell.

Solution 2

On top of what @cuonglm said, check for references to bash in your .tmux.conf.

For example, I was using a typical integration for copying & pasting in iTerm on Mac:

set-option -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l bash"

... which, to function properly with zsh had to be changed to:

set-option -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l zsh"

According to 2) tmux is using Zsh as your shell. What is your issue?

Sorry, I should have included that executing ps -p $$ in tmux prints: 20201 ttys001 0:00.02 -bash. Even though the $SHELL variable seems to be set, tmux doesn't actually seem to be using zsh. Also, on this machine powerline's only been configured for bash. Every time I start tmux, powerline's definitely visible.

Thanx. It still isn't consistently working. But in the meantime I've read somewhere that for SEO it's better not to handle language settings with cookies, and to actually create subfolders for the different languages, so I'm going to use a different approach. I'm still marking yours as the answer, because you helped me to reduce my code from 4 lines to one.

[narfie]

I've got another piece in my .htaccess file that might also need reducing, and would appreciate if you could take a look at it for me... if you're interested/willing?

[anubhava]

Yes sure I can help reduce that. Let me know what is your question.

@JustianMeyer: Can you show me your .tmux.conf?

[MOHRE]

@JustianMeyer Did you restart tmux with killall tmux; tmux command?
