… has anyone else got stuck with this problem?

If you have a few different domains running – you must already be using VirtualHost? Or whatever iis7 equivalent is.

Using sub-domains is not a problem if you combine virtual hosting and proxying.

Unfortunately i can only help you out if you’re running Apache 1.3 / Apache2 on a linux based OS.

Why not go for the ProxyPass[Reverse] and VirtualHost option?

You can install it on a subdomain.

Why not go for the ProxyPass[Reverse] and VirtualHost option?

<VirtualHost 197.168.10.1:80>
ServerName blog.domain.co.uk
DocumentRoot /some/path/to/your/wordpress
<Directory “/some/path/to/your/wordpress”>
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ProxyRequests On
ProxyPass / https://domain.co.uk/blog
</VirtualHost>

Why can’t you do that?

Might need a ProxyPassReverse on too.

Let me know.

Hi,

Or follow the directions for serving wordpress from root while maintaining it in it’s own directory?

Thats what i am currently doing. That IS the problem. Because whilst it works for the initial redirection (from initial HTTP request), it doesn’t work for admin pages etc (the inner workings of wordpress when it retrieves files).

Your first suggestion:

Why not just install wordpress at the root and get rid of the “wordpress” directory?

.. because all software like this (joomla is another example) should stay under the parent directory, and not start moving outside it – for 2 reasons, firstly for portability (if i want to move it, or change system on my webserver, i need to only move 1 dir), secondly, i have no idea whether messing with dir tructure of wordpress will effect its behaviour.

What i need is something like the mod_proxy_html, described here:

https://linux.wareseeker.com/Internet/mod-proxy-html-2.5.1.zip/319259

I have managed to get it working, by setting the DocumentRoot directive to the serverRoot/wordpress/. However, this then creates the same problem in reverse (where admin stuff expects ‘wordpress’ when it is no longer needed). So i use a ProxyPass the other way around:

ProxyPass /wordpress /

to redirect to root.

But this is not the way i want it. Any ideas? Has no one had this problem of ProxyPass and wordpress root before?
