Hey guys, I looked around for some help on this particular flavor of madness, but couldn't find the right info. I have my main app on: www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com It's straight up .NET. I want to put a wordpress site on blog.mydomain.com. Is this possible on this hosting environment, and if so, please help explain how to do it. Thank you, Patrick
Hey Patrick, Yes, it is possible to do this. All you will need to do is install the WordPress application under a subdirectory under the root of your hosting account. Then you can create a redirect script to redirect the subdomain to your subdirectory. Our knowledge base article will show you how to redirect the subdomain to a subdirectory here: http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a369/how-to-redirect-a-subdomain-to-a-subdirectory.aspx
Hey thanks for the reply. I saw that post about the redirect, but that involves a response redirect which will change the URL using a 302 response code. I want the browser to resolve to the sub domain blog.mydomain.com naturally Am I wrong or is this possible to do within this hosting environment?
I'm afraid the only way to do this would be to open up a new hosting account with the domain name blog.mydomain.com (if you want it to resolve naturally, that is), otherwise, some type of redirect is required when hosting multiple websites under the same hosting account (e.g. Response.Redirect, Server.Transfer, or URL Rewrite).
