# Reverse proxy

 * Up to recent, I had my blog at my university webspace, ie at a URL like
 * [http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/blog/](http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/blog/)
 * Shortly, I’ve had a domain like
 * [http://mydomain.at/](http://mydomain.at/)
 * set up to redirect to
 * [http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/](http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/)
 * via a reverse proxy; that means, I can now reach my blog via
 * [http://mydomain.at/blog/](http://mydomain.at/blog/)
 * In order to completely hide the “ugly” [http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/blog/](http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/blog/)
   URLs also from subsequent links from the blog start page, I’ve adapted the permalinks,
   and tried to also set the `siteurl` and `home` wp-options to [http://mydomain.at/blog/](http://mydomain.at/blog/).
 * Unfortunately, when then trying to access [http://mydomain.at/blog/](http://mydomain.at/blog/),
   I’m redirected to [http://mydomain.at/mydir/blog/](http://mydomain.at/mydir/blog/)(
   with mydir as of [http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/](http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/) ) which
   of course doesn’t exist. (I’ve also tried to leave `siteurl` set to [http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/blog/](http://myuni.ac.at/mydir/blog/)
   and only change `home`, but to no avail).
 * It’s apparently wp-login.php that causes the redirection. I don’t have much of
   a clue about the WordPress code, but I figure it might have something to do with
   the redirect_to server variable. Can this be cured in a way that enables me to
   transparently use WordPress with a reverse proxy that caches a directory on a
   different server?
 * Any help appreciated.
