Apache access to example.com/app from different root directory - wordpress

For now, I have following directories:
WordPress directory is connected with example.com domain. I would like to access my Zend app by example.com/app URL, but it is in separated directory. I tried to add rewrite rule in htaccess file in WordPress directory, but server responds me with 400 error. I tried that without success:
RewriteRule ^app/(.*)$ ../zend_app/$1
And now I am not sure what to do. I think about some php file to include something from zend_app folder or to create symlink inside WordPress directory pointing to zend_app folder. What solution is better? Maybe there is another solution? I am using shared hosting, so possibilities are limited.
EDIT:
Here is my whole htaccess file from WordPress:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^app/(.*)$ zend_app/$1 [L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Wordpress installation in subfolder backend not accessable

I have a Wordpress installation in the root folder of my server and another Wordpress installation in a subfolder called "neueseite".
I can access the frontend of the page in the subfolder but not the admin area (backend). When I try to access it, it shows me a 404 error: https://paarkultur.ch/neueseite/wp-login.php
All URLs in the database contain the URL with the subfolder. I also tried different things with the .htaccess file. Nothing helped.
Here is the code inside the root directory's .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
# Include in the next line all folders to exclude
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(neueseite) [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
And this is the code in the subfolders .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /neueseite/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /neueseite/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Can someone help me figure out what the problem could be?
I checked your nginx server and the below file is not located in the directory listed below:
https://paarkultur.ch/neueseite/wp-login.php
I can see that you have various core files such as wp-config.php, readme.html, etc but you do not have wp-login.php in that directory.
Anyway if you are trying to serve multiple sites from a single server then you are going the wrong way about it

.htaccess, WordPress and mod_speling

I've got a server that has in its root directory a bunch of subdirectories, one of which has a WordPress.
directory1
directory2
wordpress
directory3
All of these except for the WordPress were migrated from a Windows server to a Linux server which means that we've lost case insensitivity.
I want the WordPress to be able to serve a URL like http://www.example.com/~subdomain, so there's an index file in the root directory. I also have two .htaccess files, one in the WordPress and one in the root directory.
The following is the root directory's .htaccess.
This is where I'd like to put mod_speling's case insensitivity directives, but it conflicts with the rewrite rule.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~subdomain/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /~subdomain/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Below is the WordPress subdirectory's .htaccess
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~subdomain/wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /~subdomain/wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I've tried using a symlink in the root directory to point to the WordPress directory's index.php. I set the symlink to be the DirectoryIndex but unfortunately it results in a lot of the links turning into 404s.
At this point I'm kind of stuck. Any ideas?

.htaccess with wordpress and drupal site

In my root wordpress site running
I have the usual wp-content, wp-includes, wp-admin folders, but I also have my 'drupal' which is a drupal site
I have .htaccess file in both root and drupal directory
When i try to access any node of drupal website give page not found error of wordpress
Please a help me for that
Add RewriteRule ^drupal - [L] above the WP rules in the .htaccess that is located in the root.
I have seen this a lot with Cpanel and Fantastico.
https://www.drupal.org/forum/support/post-installation/2010-08-09/installing-wordpress-in-a-sub-directory-of-drupal
The topic is old but still relevant. Just wanted to share my solution to this problem.
In WP, go to Admin > Settings > Permalinks;
Scroll down to the
bottom; You should see this:
If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press Ctrl+a to select all.
Add this to WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /YOURSUBDIR/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /YOURSUBDIR/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Open your .htaccess in the Drupal root dir, and find this bit:
# Pass all requests not referring directly to files in the filesystem to
# index.php. Clean URLs are handled in drupal_environment_initialize().
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
Paste the WP Admin code underneath this, from "RewriteBase" to the end;
It should work now!
Make sure your WordPress permalinks are reset by hitting save ( the first URL here walks you through it
- https://www.cloudways.com/blog/fix-404-error-on-wordpress/
If that will not work try this.
See:
https://www.drupal.org/forum/support/installing-drupal/2007-08-02/the-requested-url-not-found-on-this-server
- I hope this is helpful cloudways.com will know the fix too.
Add this to WordPress
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Ignoring Subfolders that exist in the DocumentRoot
With clean URL's enabled, when running other software applications in subfolders (subdirectories) of a Drupal root installation. your .htaccess file may rewrite those URL's to Drupal. This may be a particular problem for those with a Drupal installation in the root of their domain using Cpanel and Fantastico where Fantastico installs other software into subfolders. For example, phpSurveyor's admin interface as installed by Fantastico will not work with Drupal's default .htaccess settings. The URL for the admin interface is inaccessible and will return a "page not found" page in your Drupal site.
The trick is to modify .htaccess to ignore specific files/folders. So for example, if you have two folders, and in the root of your Drupal installation, modify your .htaccess file by inserting the following code directly after the "RewriteEngine on" directive, before the Drupal rewrites:
=========[ start of .htaccess snippet]==========
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
#
# stuff to let through (ignore)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/folder1/" [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/folder2/"
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [L]
#
====================[ end ]=====================
For each folder, you want to bypass, add a RewriteCond line, and end all but the final RewriteCond with [OR]. Note that the [L] in the rewrite rule tells it to stop there and bypass the rest of the rewrite rules.
Ignoring subfolders that are included via Apache Alias directives
As of 4.7, files and directories should be automatically allowed through in drupal's .htaccess setup. Thats what the !-f and !-d lines do.
However if you are working with Apache Alias or similar directives the file doesn't actually exist so drupal will take over like it should. The best way around it is to just add one more conditional that matches your location and make it skip it too. Thats what the ! means. Please see below:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/yourDirectoryName
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
It essentially means Apply this rule if the REQUEST_URI doesn't start with /yourDirectoryName and the REQUEST_FILENAME isn't a real file or a real folder. Which is exactly what you want. There is an implied "AND" between the lines of that rule. The ! says "not like this".

non-wordpress files in wordpress installation directory

I have installed wordpress in root directory. There is a file say test.html in same directory. I can not open this file www.mysiet.com/test.html with this url. When i open this file i get 'No posts found'.(I have coded wordpress's template on my own and this message is in index.php if no posts found). so my questions are:
How can i open an html file that is placed in root directory.
Can i create a new folder in root directory and install another wordpress site in that directory while root directory already have a wordpress installation.
Can i create a new folder in root directory (that already has wordpress installed in it) and place some files in that new directory and access them via my browser.
Thanks
Open your .htaccess in the root folder which once opened should look something like this
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress`
Then add this above all of that and place your directory in designated spot "replace
with subdirectory name" you can add as many subs as you like
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/REPLACE WITH SUB DIRECTORY NAME/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/REPLACE WITH SECOND SUBDIRECTORY NAME/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
</IfModule>`
Final Result should look like this if my subdirectory was named other
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/other/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
</IfModule>
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress`
If I understand this you have wordpress installed on your server in its own folder, something like www/wordpress/. You also have a *.html file stored in www/test.html correct?
If I'm on track, then the issue is when you configured this you would have told it to use the wordpress directory. The best solution is to either move that file into the www/wordpress directory or into its own directory off that one, so you could have www/wordpress/test.html or www/wordpress/tests/test.html.
For question 2 I think what you are asking is can you do something like www/wordpress/ having a wordpress site, but then www/wordpress/wordpress2/ having another site. Though this is possible it isn't the best idea, why would you want to do this? You should have www/wordpress/ and www/wordpress2/. If the sites are connected in some way, you should look into wordpress mu, which is a multi site, which will allow you to run many sites all from the same installation.
Question 3 was answered above but yes you can do something like www/wordpress/tests/test.html.
You may need to change your .htaccess rules if you want to be able to access html files under your wordpress install.
You can check for File Permission.

cloaking a folder to show root with wordpress pretty permalinks with htaccess

I installed wordpress in a subdirectory, lets say www.example.com/wordpress. I want the user to hit www.example.com and see the index of www.example.com/wordpress. I'm already using a custom pretty permalinks structure /%category%/%pagename%/ so the htaccess file is a little foreign to me.
My current htaccess file looks like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
I've tried numerous solutions from browsing across the web but nothing seems to work. I either get internal 500 errors or view previous pages in the root directory like example.com/about (even though I've deleted the original about.html in the root) even after I deleted my cache.
Any help you could give would be extremely helpful. Thanks for your time,
Rob
The .htaccess file needs to be located in / and not in /wordpress/ and RewriteBase should be / not /wordpress/. Leave the permalinks setup on, but don't use an .htaccess file in /wordpress/. You'll need to set the root directory in your wordpress install to / and setup redirects for /wordpress/wp-content/ and the other wordpress subdirs in /.htaccess so that requests to those directories are also forwarded correctly.
I assume that you want to set up wordpress this way because there are other directories not associated with the wordpress install that you want to be accessible from / (www.example.com/cgi-bin/ for example). You'll need to set up your .htaccess file in / to make any directory aliases (like /cgi-bin/) accessible so requests to /cgi-bin/ don't get redirected to wordpress.
EDIT:
I haven't done something like this in a long time, but here's my best guess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wp-content/(.*)$ /wordpress/wp-content/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^wp-admin/(.*)$ /wordpress/wp-admin/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^wp-include/(.*)$ /wordpress/wp-include/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/yourAliasUnrelatedToWordpress [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
