Zend Framework with Wordpress in subdirectory - wordpress

Question

I want to serve wordpress from public_html/blog. I have already install zend framework and i would like to know how to achieve this. My .htaccess file looks like
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.example\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/simple\.com\/" [R=302,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^other\-domain\.example\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.other\-domain\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/simple\.com\/" [R=302,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} =""
RewriteRule ^.*$ public/index.php [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^public/.*$ public/index.php [NC,L]
I am totaly green in htaccess files and this is my first case with it. Is that structure already correct?

Answer 1

In your ZF htaccess, allow apache to service existing files and directories:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
Now apache will see that /blog is a real folder and then load the htaccess inside there (your WP htaccess) when the user goes to /blog.
You should be able to have your two htaccess rules separate without the need for complex routing
