Get Wordpress to Coincide with Zend Framework at the base level

Question

Hi all,

I have a current wordpress blog with the blog posts URLs structured as http://somedomain.com/2010/02/postname

I'm now installing a zend framework implementation at the base level http://somedomain.com/

I DON'T want my blog to have a different url structure. like http://somedomain.com/blog/2010/02/article-name

Any ideas on how I can best keep the old url structure and still have zend framework live at /

My thought was move the blog to /blog and do a url rewrite in there to make everything appear as though its at / , but i don't think that will work ?

Answer 1

Create a subdomain for your site. wordpress.site.com is for wordpress, zend.site.com is for your zend code. Of course you should use better names than that but you get the idea.

if you are using apache, put this in your .conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /home/www/html/blog
    ServerName blog.site.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /home/www/html/zend
    ServerName zend.site.com
</VirtualHost>

Answer 2

mod_rewrite could do this, provided that your Zend controllers only have [a..z] chars.
