Bumping this question (despite its age) as this is exactly the question I have.

From testing it seems that WP, by default, is able to detect where it lies in the directory structure. Is there a flag to turn this off?

I say so because, if one sets blog.foo.com to forward to http://www.example.com/~user/wordpress, then sets WP’s default directory to blog.foo.com, WP rewrites instead to go to http://www.example.com/~user/wordpress/~user/wordpress.

On the same sort of problem, I host my site as a subdirectory of another site (over which I have no Apache2 control, so I can’t just subdomain it or something like that). Anyway, what I have now is this:

Hosting site: http://www.foo.com/username/blog

blog.bar.com is currently redirected to http://www.foo.com/username/blog

All fun and good, right? Except all links in WP are of the form http://www.foo.com/username.blog. So I changed the site url in the WP settings to blog.bar.com.

Now, whenever I go to blog.bar.com, it goes to blog.bar.com/username/blog/username/blog.

How do I fix this?
