 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to do something that simply may not work in WP.
 * Current situation: WordPress is installed and working in a subdirectory. I added
   a couple of static pages along with some blogging posts.
 * The public_html directory is basically
 *  |->blog/php.index (wp install)
    index.html|->myResume/index.html |->UselessInfo/
   index.html
 * I’d like to keep the basic structure, but point UselessInfo pages to WP static
   pages.
 * Alias /cms “/home/mysite/public_html/blog/index.php?pageid=2”
    I thought an Alias
   directive would work, but it doesn’t.
 * Rewrite is enabled, so the rewritten URL doesn’t work either. (no surprise)
    
   Alias /cms “/home/mysite/public_html/blog/about”
 * Any advice is welcome, even if it’s obvious to most.

 * Ugh, That didn’t format right. Index.html is the root document with child folders
   myResume and UselessInfo

 * It looks like this is a big dead end.
 * Would an Apache rewrite rule work?
 * Let’s say the requested url is [http://www.mysite.com/cms](http://www.mysite.com/cms)
   I need it to go to [http://www.mysite.com/blog/index.php?pageid=2&#8243](http://www.mysite.com/blog/index.php?pageid=2&#8243);
