    We are trying to install wordpress on a domain and we can see the blog if we go to http://www.DomainName.com/blog/ but if we change the setting to subdomain.domain.co then it is just shows nothing as if it is not finding the subdomain

    It is as if wordpress is not recongnising the SubDomain, we have put test pages on the SubDomain and they work it is just wordpress.

    We are running windows server 2008, iis7.

    All help would be grateful.

    Thanks

    that would be to simple, we have already got WP workingo n another Domain but we are updating our site and want to put it in a SubDomain – http://blog.domain.co.uk but just getting black screen but if we use http://domain.co.uk/blog then this works

    if we view the http://domainname.co.uk/blog we get to see the blog but all the styles and images are missing.

    Hello,

    If you don’t want to move your files to another directory, maybe htaccess rules can make you do it.
    I found some interessting information there or a little more general here.

    Cheers,
    Nicolas.

    <VirtualHost 197.168.10.1:80>
    ServerName blog.domain.co.uk
    DocumentRoot /some/path/to/your/wordpress
    <Directory “/some/path/to/your/wordpress”>
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>
    ProxyRequests On
    ProxyPass / http://domain.co.uk/blog
    </VirtualHost>

    Why can’t you do that?

    Might need a ProxyPassReverse on too.

    Why not go for the ProxyPass[Reverse] and VirtualHost option?

    the thing is if we cannot install this without any problems then what will some of our customers do, if we start to offer this blog.

    I thought it was just a straight unzip and configure like it was on a domain but when we try to use a subdomain that is where the problems are. So it is looking like WP cannot be installed on a subdomain without having problems.

    thanks

    You can install it on a subdomain.

    we have our own server and have a few different domains running so how do we go about doing it that way on iis7 windows 2008?

    thanks

    If you have a few different domains running – you must already be using VirtualHost? Or whatever iis7 equivalent is.

    Using sub-domains is not a problem if you combine virtual hosting and proxying.

    Unfortunately i can only help you out if you’re running Apache 1.3 / Apache2 on a linux based OS.
