Wordpress apache2 virtual host configuration on a debian install

12,551

Do you notice the <VirtualHost *:80> in your murmillosoftware.com.conf file? That is called the Virtual Host configuration. In your current blog.murmillosoftware.com.conf, all you're doing is creating an alias to /wp path, which is why you're able to browse wordpress there.

Update your blog.murmillosoftware.com.conf as follows (might be buggy, keep checking server logs):

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    ServerName blog.murmillosoftware.com
    DocumentRoot /usr/share/wordpress

    # Custom log files, to differentiate from root server
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error-wordpress.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access-wordpress.log combined

    Alias /wp-content /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content
    <Directory /usr/share/wordpress>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

    I'm trying to setup a wordpress site on my server that also hosts another website. I can only get the wordpress site to work with the web address blog.murmilosoftware.com/wp.

    I want to be able to simply access it from blog.murmilosoftware.com.

    The problem is when I type blog.murmilosoftware.com in right now it displays the same page that is available from murmilosoftware.com.

    I have attached both of the sites-available config files from /etc/apache2/sites-available.

    blog.murmillosoftware.com.conf

    Alias /wp/wp-content /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content
    Alias /wp /usr/share/wordpress
    <Directory /usr/share/wordpress>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    

    murmillosoftware.com.conf

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin [email protected]
        ServerName murmillosoftware.com
        ServerAlias www.murmillosoftware.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    </VirtualHost>
    

    Forgot to restart my apache service. It is working now.
