I have a Wordpress blog hosted on one server:
http://blog.example2.com/
And another site on a separate server:
http://www.example.com
Is it possible to get the blog to be served at the following URL?:
http://www.example.com/blog/
If so, I'd love to know how. I messed around with mod-rewrite, but it looks like it will only redirect (not rewrite) to another URL, in this case.
For those interested: I realize I could install the blog on the same server, but I'd rather keep things decoupled for now.
Many Thanks
You'll need to use mod_proxy:
ProxyPass /blog http://blog.example2.com/
ProxyPassReverse /blog http://blog.example2.com/
This'll need to be in server/vhost config. Otherwise, you can use it along with mod_rewrite in an htaccess file (in your document root):
RewriteRule ^/?blog/(.*)$ http://blog.example2.com/$1 [L,P]
ProxyPassReverse /blog http://blog.example2.com/
If you're using cookies in your blog, you'll need to make sure to correct the paths/domains.

I'm using multisite WordPress and qTranslateX plugin. My default website is in Bahasa and my second language is English. When I use custom link in mode language English like mydomain.com/multisite, it always added by "en" after mydomain.com, it will be mydomain.com/en/multisite. That link always return 404 because there is no page.
I want to use .htaccess to rewrite URL form mydomain.com/en/multisite to mydomain.com/multisite/en .
Thanks in advance
Unfortunately, you can't achieve that with mod_rewrite alone as far as I know.
Wordpress will look at the REQUEST_URI to figure out what to show, and that one won't be overwritten (and [E=REQUEST_URI:...] will make it $_SERVER["REDIRECT_REDIRECT_REQUEST_URI"]).
If mod_proxy is installed as well, you could do something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^en/([^/]+)(/?.*)$ /$1/en$2 [P,L]
It will proxy the request internally on the same host and server.
Requesting http://example.org/en/test will look to wordpress as if http://example.org/test/en was requested.
Give it a try. If mod_proxy isn't installed, it won't work (and render a 404 for the URL), but it won't break your site, so it's pretty safe to experiment with.
I've been trying to set up a reverse proxy on a main website to a blog site of the url format
example.com/blog -> blog.example.com
example.com/blog is on an Apache instance and in the httpd.conf I have added the following.
SSLProxyEngine on
ProxyPreserveHost Off
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPassMatch /blog https://blog.example.com
ProxyPassReverse /blog https://blog.example.com
This all works but it keeps 404ing. The good news is it is actually reverse proxying correctly because it grabs the 404 page of the blog.
After looking at the apache access logs I found that it is passing the subpath for whatever reason /blog to blog.example.com so its fetching blog.example.com/blog. When users navigate to /blog, it does 404 naturally. However, my understanding was when setting up ProxyPassReverse is it would make the request at what was specified so in my above case it should be requesting blog.example.com and not passing the /blog at the end.
Here is the snippet from the documentation that confirms the above in how it should work:
For example, suppose the local server has address http://example.com/; then
ProxyPass /mirror/foo/ http://backend.example.com/
ProxyPassReverse /mirror/foo/ http://backend.example.com/
ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain backend.example.com public.example.com
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath / /mirror/foo/
will not only cause a local request for the http://example.com/mirror/foo/bar to be internally converted into a proxy request to http://backend.example.com/bar (the functionality which ProxyPass provides here).
Any ideas why this might be? Worst case I might try to add a redirect or a rewrite so /blog goes to the homepage but I do have my permalinks set up in such a way that the /blog is in the slug of articles.
FYI I am using Apache 2.2.
I'm an idiot. I was using ProxyPassMatch instead of ProxyPass. Ugh.
I need to wordpress from 2 url, my main wp already run in subdomain wp.domain.com but I can't access from domain.com/wp, I try some change in database and .httaccess file, but I can't run it with 2 url
I need can access both of them :
wp.domain.com
domain.com/wp
WordPress doesn't really support this setup. All posts have saved their URL in the database, if you display the site on the secondary URL all links will still point to the primary URL.
Additionally, displaying the same content on different domains (what this is) is usually penalized by search engines, which is something you usually want to avoid.
You can achieve this by configuring the Apache with mod_proxy and mod_proxy_html to proxy all requests on one domain to the other, rewriting the URLs in the process.
The Apache config for this looks like this:
ProxyPass /wp/ http://wp.domain.com/
ProxyPassReverse /wp/ http://wp.domain.com/
# to rewrite the URLs in the HTML
ProxyHTMLEnable On
ProxyHTMLExtended On
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://wp.domain.com https://domain.com/wp
But I'd recommend to stick to a single URL and configure Apache to redirect all requests on the secondary URL to the primary.
You can do that with a single line in a .htaccess:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://wp.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
A have a custom website based on apache/php. I also have a wordpress blog and I would like it to be hosted in a different server.
I have tried to create a sub-domine like http://blog.mydomine.com but i would like to keep the old address (http://www.mydomine.com/corp/blog) for SEO purposes. I added the following configuration tu my .htaccess file.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/corp/blog
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://blog.mydomine.com/$1 [L]
I would like to know if I can tell apache not to change the browser address after redirect the request. I know that I could do a 301 redirection but i would prefer to keep the old address.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!! :)
Use the P flag
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/flags.html#flag_p
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://blog.mydomine.com/$1 [P]
You could try a reverse proxy...
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass /corp/blog http://blog.mydomine.com/
ProxyPassReverse /corp/blog http://blog.mydomine.com/
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /corp/blog /
This requires mod_proxy be installed and enabled.
Note that this will only work in the following contexts per the apache doc: server config, virtual host, directory - this means that putting it in a htaccess file won't work.
What you're wanting isn't really possible. It's not Apache that's displaying the address, it's the web browser, and there's no way (thankfully) to tell a web browser "go to site A, but tell the user it's site B."
You could fake this behavior using a frame page on your main site, but since you're wanting this for SEO I don't think that would help.
I have an established Drupal installation at example.com/drupal - and now I need to move the installation up one level to the domain root.
So the rewrite rule I need is to redirect all existing URLs - e.g. example.com/drupal/some_section/somepage to example.com/some_section/somepage etc.
How do I do this?
Try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^drupal/(.+)$ $1
Hope this helps
Rewriting URLs like example.com/drupal/... will help if people go to example.com/drupal/... but it seems you want it the other way: people use example.com/... and go to you site.
For that, I think you need to change the DocumentRoot in your web server configuration or setup a virtual host for example.com
