Ways to have a subfolder for a domain deliver content from another account's folder?
| Posted by Kadence, 08-20-2009, 01:12 PM | | What's the best way to have the content of the path of one account be delivered by a script on another account? For instance for example.com/sub1 to deliver content from /home/otherdir/public_html/other.php rather than from /home/example/public_html/sub1/.
I've tried a simple include for a file rather than a folder (/sub1.php instead of /sub1), where for instance /home/example/public_html/sub1.php contains "include('/home/otherdir/public_html/other.php"), which works except for include path problems. If the other.php has it's own include there's an issue depending on how the include is handled - if other.php has "include('other2.php')" there's no issue, but if it uses the dot prefix "include('./other2.php')" I get failed to open stream: No such file or directory errors. Some scripts like Wordpress handle their includes with the dot prefix.
I tried changing the include path in the example php script to one where the dot is explicitly specified
But that didn't help. I don't know if my straight include method is the right way to do this anyway.
So what's the best approach for this type of thing?

I seem to be having issues with rewrite rules though. If I an Alias to httpd.conf for the account 'example'
That works, but if I place the following in the .htaccess for the example account
It just seems to ignore that rule - the rule doesn't get activated. If I use the same rule but without the "sub1/", then it works, so there's some conflict with the usage of alias. What's the proper way to add a rewrite rule when using an Alias?
