Problem

You have a webpage like http://www.example.com and you would like to serve both WordPress and files from a PHP application from the root domain. For instance, opening

http://www.example.com/my-post

will open a post on WordPress and

http://www.example.com/index.php

will open a page in a PHP application.

Solution

• Set up your php application in /var/www/html
• Install WordPress /usr/share/wordpress
• Put the following lines into /usr/share/wordpress/.htacces before # BEGIN WordPress.

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond "/var/www/html%{REQUEST_URI}" -f RewriteRule ^/?(.\*)$ /app/$1 \[L\]

BEGIN WordPress

...

• Put the following line into /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Alias /app /var/www/html

• Add the following configuration file to /etc/httpd/conf.d/wordpress.conf

Alias /wordpress /usr/share/wordpress DocumentRoot /usr/share/wordpress

<Directory /usr/share/wordpress/> AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

AllowOverride All

Require all granted

Restart httpd and you are all done!
