how to set up path pointing to Wordpress site ?

[nguyendh (Duynguyen0511)]

Hello,

I have mydomain.com (Yii powered site) and blog.mydomain.com (Wordpress site). My SEO guy wants blog.mydomain.com to become mydomain.com/blog and all the current blog urls should follow suit.

For example

• blog.mydomain.com -> mydomain.com/blog

• blog.mydomain.com/about-us/ -> mydomain.com/blog/about-us

• blog.mydomain.com/how-to-get-your-first-customer -> mydomain.com/blog/how-to-get-your-first-customer

Please show me how to setup

Thanks

The blog should work once the directory exists outside of the protected directory for your application as creating a sub domain should also point to that specific directory.

Example, If you have an images directory on the same level as the protected directory and you try to view an image within there from your browser, once no URL rewrite has been written in your web server/.htaccess files then the image should display, now setting your blog folder on this level should operate in the same manner.

Cheers.

Tried your suggestion, it does not work

• mydomain.com/blog ->points to main wordpress site which is correct

• mydomain.com/blog/my-first-article (should work as blog.mydomain.com/my-first-article) -> yield routing error because Yii routing took over and It tried to find blog controller with acion ‘my-first-article’

Not quite sure why this occurs, but all yii applications that i have deployed that has some form of sub directory application with sub domains work in that manner.

Because ideally, the blog directory should be outside of the scope of the application.

I am facing the same issue. @nguyendh, did you resolve this this?

I am trying to move my wordpress blog to mydomain.com/blog. Blog front page is working fine any other page request has been served by yii route even the pagination.

Can anybody help please? I have lots of custom routes.

it is very easy to fix. YOu need to configure your VirtualHost in Apache

<VirtualHost *:80>

 # your other settings

 Alias /blog /var/www/wordpress #this is the magic that makes it work , it tells Apache to use wordpress if you try to enter localhost/blog 


</VirtualHost>

Thanks for reply, I didn’t try this but reverting and then coming back to permalinks in wordpress setting worked for me.
