site routes and default subpaths

pecus

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:

the main site starts on the root / and has several subpaths (e.g. /contacts, /services, /about, ...)
one of the path should be served by another application (on opalstack), e.g. /blog

If I configure the main app on / and another app on /blog, all the subpaths served by the main application cannot be reached and error out with HTTP 500.
Am I missing something? can I add back every other generic route with a wildcard route?

Both apps are from the same users (Apache + PHP) so I guess I can simply solve this with a symbolic link. Unless I did something wrong and the setup I expected it is indeed not feasible, I think the docs should be updated to clarify that mount points for apps prevent other routes from being handled by the default (root) app.

I made a quick trial with a symbolic link and a rewriteBase rule to move the site to a subpath of the main domain breaks on WordPress URLs, but I'm getting a 404.

This is the current config, the /subpath path is the root for WordPress (the main site root is served from a symbolic link app).

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subpath/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

We don't have anything like a "wildcard route".

Having multiple apps on the site should work as long as they are owned by the same user.

Please email support @ opalstack.com with the details (shell user, apps, and site) so that we can look into this further, thanks.

Thanks @sean I opened a ticket. I will update this once the issue is solved

pecus we replied to your ticket a couple of days ago - if you're still seeing problems then please let us know via a reply to your ticket.

SOLUTION: if your default site runs through mod_rewrite (remapping URLs to internal routing via a generic index page) add a RewriteBase / rule to allow both the primary and secondary app mounts to coexist.

This was provided via the ticket resolution and I can confirm it works
