I have a wordpress website called http://mysite.com (example only), I want to have a link http://blog.mysite.com, how would I configure that one using only one wordpress install(same wordpress install on http://mysite.com) and of course the same database that the http://mysite.com uses. Should I just use a plugin or what?
If you want to use 1 wordpress install for two different sites try using http://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite .
Otherwise, I would agree with the answer above and you would only need to setup a simple redirect in your hosting control panel.
Add a subdomain of a kind http://blog.mysite.com pointing to a location similar to http://mysite.com. In this way both the domains will point to the same wordpress installation.

So, I've got a Magento installation with Wordpress integration. I've got an install where I need to have SSL to cover payments, and unfortunately the Wordpress folder isn't secure and serving images through http. In order to get the green lock, I need to secure the entire wordpress folder.
I know in the backend of Magento, you can specify which folders belong to skin, media and js to secure, but how (if it is in the same parent directory) would I secure the wordpress folder?
yes you can secure your wordpress setup with extra wordpress plugin
use this link this is very good plugin to use with wordpress to get SSL certficate to all pages as well as in admin area.
Also there is one another alternative solution to make some change in code to use this useful link

Try to add that in your httpd-ssl.conf (one of your Apache config files)
OK I have my website running Wordpress at http://www.visualise.ca/ and I installed the qTranslate plugin to have a bilingual installation. If you visit http://www.visualise.ca/?lang=fr you will see the french version of my website.
The problem is that it messes up my AJAX scripts so I would like to use the qTranslate option that allows me to have my french version in a sub-domain at http://fr.visualise.ca/ instead.
When I activate this option the http://fr.visualise.ca/ returns blank (Server not found) so here are my questions:
1) I guess I have to use .htaccess ? If yes, what's the syntax ?
2) I created sub-domain fr.visualise.ca and made it point to the root document folder of my Wordpress installation, is that ok?
Many thanks for your time and help
UPDATE: Actually it was working I had to use and create a sub-domain for fr.www.visualise.ca instead of fr.visualise.ca ... Which is kind of ugly :-/
You will add to the CNAME records to your DNS-Server or set a "catch all" like *.yourdomain.com
I had to make sure that the http://fr.visualise.ca subdomain exists and is map to right folder on the web server (same folder as the visualise.ca domain)
I have a my main site, called "mysite.com" (for arguments sake). On this site, you will find my blog and everything I do. But I am starting another site that I want to run on my domain. However:
The other site must have it's down domain name: newsite.com
If people go to mysite.com/newsite it must redirec to newsite.com
If people go to newsite.com, it must show the content of what they would see if they had gone to mysite.com/newsite in the past
So basically, I want a "page" or actually a whole section ( mysite.com/newsite/* ) to appear as newsite.com in the browser.
Why?
I want both sites to run off one drupal installation
I want both sites to look basically the same
However, keep in mind that I don't want to use a multi-drupal solution. i.e. a module that allows for more than one copy of drupal to run off 1 installation.
http://drupal.org/project/domain allows you to configure various things based on the domain, for example accessible nodes.
You can probably do the redirect with a Rewrite Rule, outside of Drupal or write a simple module that does that.
Sounds simple to do. Just install the second site using a regular multi-site installation. (Google "drupal multi-site instructions"). Then install the Path redirect module and create the external redirect to the new domain. http://drupal.org/project/path_redirect
I have a website, which runs an integrated wordpress blog, the wordpress was installed by my hosting company and it was a one click install. I then went into my FTP and took all the files from the original style and edited it to look like my website and still function. this is all well and good.
However, I would like to run another page on a separate wordpress blog (so there is basically two seperate archiving systems in place as one of the pages is a blog, and the other is articles which are produced monthly).
is there anyway to do this with the one click install, for example through the WP admin Control panel?
Thanks for your help in advance.
You can use Wordpress MU (Multisite) to accomplish this or just install another Wordpress instance.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
Are the two instances you want running on the same domain? Different domains?
In regards to the one click install from your web host, I'm not sure which web host it is or if there are any options for this on there.
Please clarify if you have any further issues. :)
Yes you can use two blogs by the two methods
Install wordpress on SubDomain like site.domain.com
Install wordpress on SubDirectories like domain.com/site
And then you can use both of your site in one another according to your needs and requirements ...
I just upgraded one of my many blogs to Wordpress 3.0 and I was glad to see that I now should be able to run all my blogs from a central installation.
I have the multisite stuff configured and up and running, and can create new blogs as I wish.
My host is set up to handle wildcard subdomains, but I'd like to map my already existing, proper domains to sites instead. How do I do this?
Redirecting the domains is not an option.
There's a domain mapping plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/
If you download the dev version, that will work with 3.0, I'm told:
http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/trunk/
There should be a download link at the bottom of that page.
Modrewrite is probably the answer, but without knowing more about the server and how wordpress is doing the multiple blog feature (I use it and have upgraded to 3 as well, but i haven't looked at it very closely), it's hard to give a specific answer.
