Jelastic Wordpress site installed in subdirectory and set does not work for the root domain

Question

I want to have a WordPress site directly in the domain of access. without the WP files are actually in the main folder.

For example: I install WordPress in a /blog folder (example.com/blog), and I can configure to access is directly in the domain (example.com) without the folder name included. (in this case the /blog folder).

The advantage is that the main folder is more organized and existing scripts in other folders function normally and beyond to improve safety.

I have run this easily in my development environment on my macbook air, according to the simple instructions:

• http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

However, in doing so created the environment in Jelastic, this is not working.

Someone could do this on Jelastic? Place the wordpress installation in a folder and then configured to access the root domain by Jelastic?

My Additional Information:

I'm using a trial account to test Jelastic.

Environments created in which attempts were failures have been:

1. Environment 1: NGINX 1.4.3 (loadbalacer) + Apache 2.2 + 5.5 + Memcached MariaDB 1.4.15;
2. Environments 2: Apache 2.2 + MariaDB 5.5;

Jelastic only works in root for me with Apache Server. With NGINX Server (not like loadbalancer) impossible the install wordpress.

Answer 1

Jelastic only works in root for me with Apache Server. With NGINX Server (not like loadbalancer) impossible the install wordpress.

While installing WP to Nginx I have faced with some problems too and found solution.

I have deployed WP to context /blog then opened in the browser and after I clicked on Create Configuration File nothing happened but I received the link in address line like:

http://example.com/blog/index.php/blog/wp-admin/setup-config.php

To continue the installation you need to remove one of the blog/index.php

Example: http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/setup-config.php

Then I have successfully installed WP.

If you want to have a WordPress site directly in the domain of access without the WP files are actually in the main folder with Nginx Server you need:

Install WP to needed context example.com/blog

Change Site Address (URL) in WP to example.com/

Then find in Nginx Config Manager conf> nginx.conf at 41 line such text and change directory ROOT to blog:

include /etc/nginx/aliases.conf;
    location / {
        root   /var/www/webroot/blog;
        index  index.html index.htm index.php;

        location ~ \.php$ {
            location ~ /\. { deny all; access_log off; log_not_found off; }
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/webroot/blog$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT /var/www/webroot/blog;

Save the file and restart Nginx.

Answer 2

To have a WordPress site directly in the domain of access without the WP files are actually in the main folder you need:

Install WP to needed context example.com/blog

Change Site Address (URL) in WP to example.com/

Then find in Apache Config Manager conf> httpd.conf at 960 line such text:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/webroot/ROOT
ServerName website.jelastic.com
ServerAlias *
ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.jelastic.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/dummy-host.jelastic.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

Change DocumentRoot /var/www/webroot/ROOT to DocumentRoot /var/www/webroot/blog

Save the file and restart Apache.
