Joomla and WordPress

  • My main site introducing the WordPress multihosting is at MySite.com. Here I’m using Joomla because I like the CMS aspect of it, since my main site introducing the service is not just a blog.

    I’d like to also install WordPress MU so that users can get either one of these URLs:
    MySite.com/UserName
    UserName.MySite.com

    However, I believe it’s not possible to install WordPress MU and Joomla into the same folder, hence one of them will have to be in a sub-folder. Suppose I install Joomla to MySite.com and install WordPressMU into MySite.com/w/. How would I make the above URL format for user blogs possible?

    You cannot use domain mapping if the root of your site is not WP.

    You cannot use domain mapping if WordPress is installed in a subFolder but it works fine in a subDomain. (Works on Apache shared hosting, and on IIS7 hosting.)

    Since you already have Joomla in the root of your account, you can install WordPress in the root of a subdomain of your account.

    If Joomla is in public_html, and mysite.com is pointing to public_html, use cPanel (or equivalent) to make a subdomain (it will go in public_html/othersite/ , and install WordPress there. Access WordPress via https://othersite.mysite.com.

    Unmapped domain names will be username.othersite.mysite.com, or in subfolder mode othersite.mysite.com/username/ not pretty but who cares you will be mapping domain names anyway. (Maybe name that subdomain wp, giving you username.wp.mysite.com or wp.mysite.com/username/ ?)
