Giving WordPress its own directory eg: <code>domain.com/blog</code> still has outstanding issues, especially when trying to access WP Admin.</p> <p>WP Hive currently supports installs like this, as long as WordPress is installed as a regular site for domain.com:</p> <p>domain.com<br /> domain.com/blog1<br /> domain.com/blog2<br /> sub1.domain.com/blog1<br /> sub2.domain.com/blog3<br /> sub23.domain.com<br /> otherdomain.com</p> <p>Just make sure that when you access WordPress BEFORE installing WP Hive, that you access it using a domain name only, and not have to add a path. For Example: If you access it like this: <code>domain.com/wp-admin</code>, then it will work. If you access WordPress like this: <code>domain.com/blog/wp-admin</code>, WP Hive will NOT work. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/v05-and-subdirectory-installs#post-639 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:12:54 +0000 drmwvrsquilts 639@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Actually, it's even worse than I thought: If I put in "/content" in the Subdirectory box, the main site gives an unknown host error, so clearly that solution doesn't work at all.

I was already running v0.5.3, but all of a sudden having this redirection problem. </p> <p>I read this above:</p> <p>"This is now fixed in the latest build, but it also requires that you to make one change in your WP Hive configuration after installation." </p> <p>and I assume that the latest build IS in fact v0.5.3, right?</p> <p>So I did what you said would fix the problem, and added "/content" in the Subdirectory box, and it still doesn't fix the problem. My site is still redirecting to domain.com/wp-admin when I try to login.</p> <p>But then later you said this:</p> <p>"Please see this post. A resolution will be out ASAP.</p> <p>Thanks very much for your patience. "</p> <p>And when I look at that post, and it says that a resolution is coming. So first you said the problem is fixed, but you need to do thus and so after installation (which I did and it didn't help), but then a resolution is coming? Can you please clear this up? </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/v05-and-subdirectory-installs#post-637 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:42:04 +0000 bryon 637@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Also, something that may be note worthy.

Now just one more clarification. Is WP Hive creating a new (virtual) blog instance using the WP Installation and I could create domain.com/toronto, domain.com/kingston, domain.com/waterloo etc?</p> <p>Also, I'd wish to use the same favicon across all the blogs. </p> <p>Thanks again.</p> <p>Mark. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/v05-and-subdirectory-installs#post-634 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:13:30 +0000 ikailo 634@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>bryon: If you have installed WordPress in a subdirectory off the root and access your site(s) like this: <code>domain.com/blog</code> or <code>sub1.domain.com/blog</code>, then all your sites in the hive should be given a <code>/blog</code> path. WP Hive reads only the domain and the first path to determine which site to serve.</p> <p>starapple: Don't create any directories for the new sites. WP Hive uses Mod-Rewrite / Pretty Permalinks to determine which site is being requested. If you create a directory, then all you will see is a blank page because the webserver is serving the directory instead of WordPress. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/v05-and-subdirectory-installs#post-633 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:54:47 +0000 starapple 633@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Thanks Byron. Now another question, which I posed in another thread: exactly what does Hive do? Does it create an installation at the location to which you point it - that is, whether sub-domain or sub-directory?</p> <p>I see an "Install" button available after I've added a site but nothing happens. Well not really: either no subdirectory is created and I get a 404 after clicking "Install" or if I manually create one and click "Install" I'm directed to the empty directory.</p> <p>Do I need to place WP files in this directory? I was under the impression that Hive automates the creation of new blog instances under one installation of WP.</p> <p>Thanks again. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/v05-and-subdirectory-installs#post-632 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:47:10 +0000 bryon 632@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>That is what I do starapple.</p> <p>Subsequently my subdomains are at <a href="http://sub1.site.com" rel="nofollow">http://sub1.site.com</a> and so on. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/v05-and-subdirectory-installs#post-630 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:56:52 +0000 starapple 630@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>That's my setup too, Byron.

Should we add the /blog to all the entries and it will work? I can't even get it to work with my main site with /blog (gets an direction loop)</p> <p>I think the problem for me is that I have it all installed into /blog but that subdirectory is there only to keep the folders tidy, when the site is actually viewed (maybe installed at?) it is site.com with no subdirectory. </p> <p>I am okay with having to delete db.php to get to my main site's dashboard.

Deleted wp-Hive and things are back to normal. It must be something to do with WP being installed in a directory of the domain root.</p> <p>In my previous post I was not clear in what I proposed. The suggestion was to get example.com/site1 created by Hive although the WP installation is at example.com/blog, and is accessed via example.com/index.php using .htaccess.</p> <p>In the WP Hive &gt; Edit screen, by using the full server path for Sub Directory, 'site1' could be created in the root (serverroot/site1) and not be dependent on the Domain Name field, which would have the full url to the WP install example.com/blog.</p> <p>Hope this is clearer. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/v05-and-subdirectory-installs#post-620 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 04:14:05 +0000 gilliancs 620@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Thanks ikailo: I'll wait for the release.

This affects you if you currently access your WordPress site like this:</p> <p><strong><a href="http://domain.com/blog" rel="nofollow">http://domain.com/blog</a></strong></p> <p>and your WP Admin like this:</p> <p><strong><a href="http://domain.com/blog/wp-admin" rel="nofollow">http://domain.com/blog/wp-admin</a></strong></p> <p>This is now fixed in the latest build, but it also requires that you to make one change in your WP Hive configuration after installation.</p> <p>Here are the steps:</p> <p>1. If you are being redirected to <strong><a href="http://domain.com/wp-admin" rel="nofollow">http://domain.com/wp-admin</a></strong> when you try to log-in, then you need to upgrade. Get the latest build from the <a href='/download'>download</a> page and install it according steps # 2 and #3 in the <a href="/documentation">documentation</a>.</p> <p>2. <strong>*Important*</strong> Log-in to the WP Admin and go to <strong>WP Hive &gt; Edit &gt; domain.com/</strong>. Modify the <strong>Sub Directory</strong> for this site so that is reflects the correct path. It is likely set to '/' now, so change that to '/blog', or whatever is appropriate for your installation.</p> <p>Going forward, if you are adding subdomains or domain sites, then you must specify /blog (or appropriate) as the value for the Sub Directory.</p> <p>Eg: subdomain.domain.com/blog<br /> or: domain2.com/blog</p> <p>It is not possible to create sites as subdirectories to this install. (eg: domain.com/blog/anotherblog will not work). </p>
